    Russia, politics, spies and the supposed threat that still is the West.

    MI5 seems to have caught up with another young Russian spy, Katia Zatuliveter. The agency believes she's one of many "sleepers" in the UK. Why does Russia have all these sleepers stationed in the West? Frankly, I think the leaders are paranoid.

    In all fairness Russia could be less paranoid. If only it would re-focus on deregulating some of its markets (e.g natural gas) it would free up its economy for boundless growth. And it will be able to compete with the likes of Germany and Japan in 10-20 years. Economic might is something to take pride in. Has always been. Instead spies are stationed abroad to gather intel for reasons one can only ponder.

    Mr. Putin is a hard man. He seems to regret the wide scale deregulation of government controlled markets that ensued in the 90s during Yeltsin's tenure. Perhaps it's the fear that some of the country's oligarchs who rose to influence the political landscape may not be in favor of the old way of doing things. The old way of doing things meant no one deserved as much power to influence the political climate. Russia needed to be as different from America and the West as much as possible. The 40+ demographic is in disagreement. They know Russia can change for the better domestically and on the global arena. They want to see it change for the better. They may not have been happy with the Yeltsin years but at least they know he started something. And then Putin came in. Not that Putin wasn't in favor of economic growth and private ownership. He was. But he couldn't stand to see the oligarchs donate for causes against him or his party. He blames Yeltsin for allowing them to become so strong and influential.

    So it's kind of ironic that in trying so hard not to copy the West, especially the US, modern Russia sees it fitting to plant sleepers in the same West. Anna Chapman is very popular in Russia. If it turns out Katia is a sleeper, I suspect she will be too. But they will only remain popular for the younger than 35 age group; the very same group that votes for Putin. No wonder Chapman made it on the cover of Maxim.

    Even if Russia isn't in favor of UK or US foreign policies, this whole spy thing is so...Cold War. The world has moved on and Russia should too. The new nationalism is economic might. Even China gets it.

    If this post is you composition, nice work.

    And I agree with the paranoid part.

    Many are of the belief that Putin is still in charge and he is the former KGB chief.

    Disclosure: I own RussianKGB dot com

    Also, there is talk that Putin is so powerful that he has manipulated the system so well that he may be the de facto ruler for life.

    But, I defer to our Russian Comrade Domainers.

    Thanks Doc. Many do believe Putin still is in charge. Medvedev strikes me as a smart fellow. But I think he is of the Putin and co school of thought. Which means a majority of his ideas aren't really his. What a shame that Putin can't understand that his wealthy opposition is driven to unseat him for the very same reasons that he locks them up; they are just as terrified of his political "practices" as he is of theirs.

    Do you get decent traffic on that domain?

    no, not a lot of traffic. The KGB is not much of a factor the past several years. But that may all change with the new spy coverage and revelations. Obviously the KGB is mush more active than many have thought.

    Whoa!!! You have exactly 14,000 posts. That averages to 3500 posts a year. You must be an information machine

    The KGB morphed into the FSB. May be that's where the traffic is.

    Oh yeah, Doc's a real information machine all right, Why if it wasn't for him or "it" I would of never learned all these great American 4 letter words, or how to tell DNF members to "Just DIE" And I would not of learned that .mobi is the next .COM simply because more people use handheld devices over desktop PC's.... And the Vietname War, where over 58,000 American troops died, that was a good and justified war because of the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

    If you admire Quantity over Quality, Doc Com is the Man.

    Sure Doc gave his opinions. Since I joined DNF, I don't ever remember him debating from the angle of being right all the time. Or being condescending to another person on this board. If anything you provoked him, just like you did others, by calling them "stupid" and "ignorant" and who knows what else, when all they were doing was providing their own perspective. Surprising that you didn't expect a reproach.

    Shame I am the attention of others in your thread. Guess I just can't escape the infatuation others have with me.

    See how some want to suddenly want to make a thread about Russian spies, turn that thread into a thread about me.

    Clearly this demonstrates an unhealthy obsession she has with me.

    ---------- Post added at 12:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 AM ----------

    Getting back to the thread, I am not sure what the Russian spy ring here in the states were after.

    Most likely technology, software, or programming that they can't get elsewhere.

    Who knows.


    Anyways, going to watch Boardwalk.

    "Since I joined DNF" When was that? Oh yeah April 2010, and you think you sized him up pretty good huh? LOL. All I have to say is your CLUELESS, I suggest you go a little back, like back to the days when he kicked Don Simon around at Parked.com, or how he bullies other members when he's proven WRONG.... OR the tissy fits he threw whenever someone knocked his precious .Mobi TLD...

    Here's one of his beauties; debating from the angle of being right all the time.

    Your a LIAR.. Theirs just no other word to describe you.

    http://www.dnforum.com/f254/republic...ml#post1950159

    This is a thread STARTED by YOU, where Doc takes the first punch at bashing me at length, and you say I provoked him?

    Maybe you can READ your OWN thread and tell me where I "provoked" him OK?

    I came to the conclusion long ago there is simply NO intellectual honesty with you people on the left, NONE.

    Don't you have to possess the ability to communicate with people respectfully before you can rationalize?

    You see, I've read hundreds of your post's and I haven't seen you do that yet, I keep waiting to read something, anything that says; "this man deserves my respect", but it's never there.

    For a 67 year old man, don't you think it's time you act your age? You don't want your pawl bearers laughing while they carry you to your grave do you?

    I see your fairly new and making threads to try and get to know people. Raider would like to welcome you to the board by calling you clueless, a liar, and telling you that you are intellectually dishonest. (and then she wonders why people think shes an asshole)

    Sorry for disrupting your thread, but she treats everyone who disagrees with her the same way. If you reply to her insults, she will just start a fight.

    Those weren't insults at all, they were "FACTS" backed up by links I provided.. Did you read them?, of course not, you'd rather pull accusations out of your ass and look like a complete FOOL instead. What Infoproliferati posted was NOT the truth, they were LIES mixed in with biased opinions based on his own ignorance.. No question about it.

    No, your not, your not sorry at all, you enjoy the disruption because your a person who has no life... It's quite apparent your just a miserable old man looking for attention, I'm actually starting to pity you.

    Your user name reads "Ilovedomains"

    That's NOT what your posts say, Your first 60 posts are nothing but meaningless dribble and jabs in the political section; http://www.dnforum.com/search.php?searchid=3171608

    Don't you think it's time you change your use name to something more fitting, like "LonelyOldTroll"?

    My username on places like rick schwartzes old board was Wicked. Ask people who were on that board in 02/03 if I love domains.

    I used to make 10k/month just on my typein names before I sold them. Ask charlescarreon in the lawyer section. He wrote about our friendship in his book sex.com

    My last sale was a multi thousand dollar deal to your friend Focus a few months ago. Your welcome to ask him about it.

    I once bought four domains for $39, and sold them for $82000.

    Not bad for an old fart eh? Now tell us about your domaining accomplishments.

    It took 4 domains to sell for that much?. LMAO!. I sold just one domain in your backyard to a Canadian Company for $140,000 and I paid $60 for it on a Snapnames backorder... But let's talk current, I did over 13K just in sales last month.

    But what does any of this have to do with the fact that your a asshole?

    Moderator. Please, you are welcome to close this thread when you read this. Personally, I don't mind that it went out of topic. What I do mind is Raider criticizing Doc over a simple comment I made about having 14,000 posts. I saw no reason for Raider's post in this thread and that's why I followed up with an entry of my own. It seems my comment stoked Raider on.

    It is partly my fault that the thread spiraled into another flame war instigated by Raider. Yet I don't regret my post. At the end of the day every member on this board reserves the right to make his/her own character judgments of any member. We certainly don't need her Majesty Raider (or anyone else for that matter) to tell us what she thinks of Doc or any other member. We will make up our minds ourselves.

    Please close this thread.
