    Don't you know when Communist ideas really started kicking in? Right with Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Much appreciated piece of propaganda ----- needed to start up era of abusing the workforce. "Ya know, they all are just godless animals"

    Nice try but Reagan had a bit of help.He had socialism on his side in that battle.

    BTW what does any of this have to do with the original thread? The international hair pulling over trucks turned in to accusations of terrorism, wide reaching religious comment wit hints of bigotry. Who needs a soap opera?

    It started with lack of sophistication on Pablos's part. If he is to start American-style trucking operation right into Putin's face - he needs to try harder. I believe he will put some lousy actors into shame when doing so

    More then half of big rigs in Russia are US trucks. They import used trucks and there are KW and Internitional plants in Russia. Putin wanted to change laws to keep Euro-style trucks in Russia only, becouse they build COE clsass 8 trucks in Russia and EU trucks are more expencive then US trucks, but he got protests of truckers and he had to keep 20 m lenth limit.

    Putin wants Russians purchase russian goods only, he is dump and he thinks it is good for economy. But as I remember internal cocurention is not so agressive lke with open market and as result going down quakity, like in 80-s in USSR.

    He'd like to be a president of USSR, and he tries to build USSR. Fortunatly not succesfully.

    Since this has gotten so far away from the original topic we'll call this one finished.
    If you want to talk politics we have a section dedicated to just that, this is not the place for political or religious discussion.
