Vlad the '''Impaler'''?
Obama '''allegedly ''' born in Honolulu?

I suspect that most of this nonsense is the work of vandals attempting to demonize the Conservative point of view.
If not, you people are a pathetic joke.

Abanamat: /* War with Russia Aug 2008 */

== Vandalism ==

''The Georgian soccer team are no longer the current unofficial world champions.''

Is this really notable?? In the introduction ??? I would remove it myself, but it's the only sourced statement in the whole article... Anyway it looks like [[liberal]] vandalism. See: [[Essay:Liberal Behavior on Conservapedia|Liberal Behavior on Conservapedia]]

[[User:Maupiti|Maupiti]] 14:01, 12 March 2008 (EDT)

Okay, while I agree that that particular statement is absolutely unnecesary, how in the hell do you see it as "liberal vandalism?!" It's just an unnecesary factoid, and nothing more. [[User:Jros83|Jros83]] 13:33, 24 August 2008 (EDT)

== War with Russia Aug 2008 ==
This article needs to be updated to reflect current geopolitical situation in Georgia.
Should I start a new section for it?

:We encourage all users to add constructive information. [[User:Learn together|Learn together]] 13:00, 25 August 2008 (EDT)

This section of the article is biased towards Georgians and only shows one side of the story. This is immoral. --[[User:Abanamat|Abanamat]] 17:02, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

CN Tower

Abanamat: added a small detail

[[Image:Toronto's CN Tower.jpg|right|200px]]
The '''CN Tower''', located in [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]], [[Canada]] is the tallest freestanding structure in North America. The CN Tower is 1815 ft 5 in (553.33 metres) tall and was constructed between 1973 and 1976 by the Canadian National Railroad corporation<ref>CN Tower Fact Sheet : [http://www.cntower.ca/portal/Secure/Community/417/Documents/PressKit2005/2005%20Facts%20at%20a%20Glance.pdf]</ref>. It is one of the largest tourist attractions in Toronto, and over 2 million people visit the tower annually. Located in the city's Downtown area, the Tower dominates the skyline and is close to other attractions such as the [[Roger's Center]] and entertainment and cultural venues. From the public observation decks a visitor can sometimes see across [[Lake Ontario]] to [[Rochester]], [[New York]]. It continues to be a communications tower for several Toronto television and radio stations as well as Cellular and Paging systems.

As of 2008, the [[Burj Dubai]] supertall skyscraper has surpassed the CN Tower in height, and has become the tallest freestanding man-made structure in the world.

Abanamat:

'''Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev''' ([[Russian language|Russian]]: Дми́трий Анато́льевич Медве́дев) (born in [[Leningrad]], September 14, 1965) is the third president of the [[Russian Federation]], succeeding the current [[prime minister]], [[Vladimir Putin]]. He was inaugurated on May 7, 2008, having won the March 2nd election with 70% of the vote. He is not a member of any political party, though he was endorsed by several.

Dmitry Medvedev has close ties to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, and has been accused by opposition and numerous experts in the West as being heavily under his influence. In 2005, then President Putin appointed him as First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, and subsequently endorsed him for the presidency. Considered an economic liberal, Mr Medvedev was also chairman of Russia's enormous state-run gas monopoly, Gazprom.

Mr Medvedev claims that at the age of 23 he was baptised into the Russian Orthodox Church, a decision he said he took himself.

Volgograd

2009-03-17T16:58:51Z

Abanamat:

'''Volgograd''' (formerly '''Stalingrad''') is a major city in [[Russia]], originally called Tsaritsyn, renamed in 1925 after [[Joseph Stalin]], due to his victories in the [[Russian Civil War]].

== World War II ==

The [[battle of Stalingrad]] was fought for 6 1/2 months in [[World War II]], in 1942-43, in one of the bloodiest battles in human history. The German 6th Army under General von Paulus managed to occupy 90% of the city, but was surrounded and destroyed by Soviet armies after Hitler forbade an attempt to break out (and promoted von Paulus to Field Marshal on the grounds that no German Field Marshal had ever surrendered in the field). The German surrender was considered the turning point of the war in Russia, and indeed World War II, as Germany had suffered a fatal strategic defeat.

According to authors John Loftus and Mark Aarons, "A handful of Jews won World War II". They worked for the only intelligence organization to penetrate both the Axis and [[Allied powers]]. Agents of [[Reinhard Gehlen]]'s <ref>[http://www.fas.org/irp/world/germany/intro/gehlen.htm Organization Gehlen] retrieved 08 May 2007.</ref> "Max network" of supposed "Fascist Jews" in the [[Kremlin]] "lured the Nazi divisions into a series of death traps on the Eastern front, using rare bits of false intelligence planted through the Max network. The first trap was Stalingrad". <ref>John Loftus and Mark Aarons, [http://yamaguchy.netfirms.com/vegyes_/secretwar_06.rtf ''The Secret War Against the Jews''], St. Martin's Press (1994).</ref>

Non of these articles in the see also section has anything to do with Vladimir Putin. Should we delete them? [[User:Maupiti|Maupiti]] 14:55, 12 March 2008 (EDT)

==KGB==
No mention of him being a former KGB man? [[User:Jros83|Jros83]] 13:50, 28 August 2008 (EDT)
(oh by the way making an analogue between him and Vlad Tepes is an insult to Vlad Tepes. Tepes scared the crap out of invading Turks and helped keep them out of Europe proper. Putin on the other hand is just evil...)

== This article is ridden with many hateful subjective allegations. Stay objective!!! ==

Well, isn't it kind of simplistic to claim that Anna Politkovskaya was murdered by Putin? It hasn't been proven officially anywhere, and if this encyclopedia claims to be objective maybe it should BE so!
"KGB Putin has complete control of Russia's future, as a dictator would." - sounds like it was written by a 8 year old! If you're bringing up the KGB past, at least say Ex-KGB (KGB doesn't even exist anymore). Also you're alleging that he's a dictator, and while I may agree, at least make a separate section about why IT IS COMMONLY BELIEVED that it so, give sources, not just write your own personal opinion! Otherwise you might as well write that he also raped donkeys and fed on the souls of the damned! (stay OBJECTIVE people OBJECTIVE!)
Politkovskaya was an outspoken critic of Putin yes, but not only! She had made many enemies, especially during her assessments of the Chechen wars, where she claimed that both sides had committed war crime type stuff.. and when you get Chechens angry, people die! Period! (just look up Kadyrov or Barayev)
http://www.globalsecurity.org/security/profiles/movsar_barayev.htm
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/ramzan-kadyrov-the-warrior-king-of-chechnya-430738.html

Also, other people had to benefit from her death (hey another motive), Berezovski for example was not a particular fan of her, but to murder her, play the blame game, and then piggyback on her memory to blame Putin (his greatest enemy) would be very beneficial!
This article is ridden with many hateful subjective allegations, it is too biased.
I would suggest somebody with a lot of experience here should rewrite. If I tried I would probably get banned right away. (I can see it now, some staunch close-minded person calling me a liberal homosexual or a communist. HA!)

Also, there is no serious military alliance between Russia and China, and there is an apparent growing rivalry between the two.
http://www.defencetalk.com/news/publish/airforce/Russian-Chinese_Su-33_fighter_deal_collapses100017306.php

Russia fears China more than it does the United States (due to an actual border, and the fact that China is right next to the energy rich Siberia, which it REALLY wants) - and in my opinion, the US should be more concerned over China than their traditional COLD WAR enemy due to the fact that China has TOO much control over the US economy and interests, and is growing stronger politically and militarily by the hour!
