That is because just about every Russian player is prejudiced towards people from the west. I'm half tempted to forget the English language.

About every Russian player? Why is that? Are you prejudiced?

@Korsakov Greatest respect to your Nation. But sadly too many of your Countrymen bail out of games far too easy or as soon as it is evident they will not win. As I said before I have some Russian friends that I hang out with and they are truly great people so I am certainly not bias towards your Country. Spacebo moj drug.

What all of them/us? Come on... You can't just lump everyone from the west together. In the same way that people can't make huge generalisations about any other nationality (even the French! )

How about taking people as you find them? If someone's a d*** it's because they are a d***, not because of where they were born.

I went to Alaska earlier this year. After I got out of the Airport, I was called a illeagle immigrant, and shipped to Kamchatka by boat and it took me a week just to get back to Moscow. So those few hours is all I need to make a few judgements. And even before that in Afghanistan I heard that we knew that the U.S.A were giving weapons to our enemies. And years later in the 90s after that accident during one of the war games, thats enough for me to want a war.

Forgive me, I don't mean to offend anyone. I have suffered much grief in the past from them.

Good point, lets try to avoid that.

But you can't blame everyone in the west for the actions of one country's government. I think the way Europe has handled Russia in the past, in most circumstances, is appalling. I think the way the U.S. is treating Russia right now, is a whole new level of stupidity I didn't think was possible before. But I'm not prejudiced against everyone in the U.S. nor against everyone in Europe.

I know this thread will descend into; 'But you gave weapons to the U.S. enemies in Vietnam before the 1980s' and then you'll say 'And you gave weapons to the Soviet enemies and invaded Russia before that' etc. etc.

I don't think it's going to benefit anyone, but some people love it. That's why this is the nth 'Name and shame' thread on here.

It's cool, the flip side is now the US are fighting in Afghanistan and the enemys weapon of choice (of course) the AK-47... what goes around comes around.

Sadly it seems like Afghanistan is just a good place to test weapons.

Anyway, back OT, anyone who quits repeatedly is a prick. Simple.
