They’ll give Zil and Lada a run for their money.

I would have loved to have been in the Japan Toyota offices as they were all walking around learning to speak Russian. Most of the higher schooled employees are polyglots. It is not unusual to meet an employee who speaks no less than five languages fluently.

F451: Many people in Japan at least speak English. Not that they’ll ever tell you. But that would be comical

more signs that Russia is advancing

I thought Toyota was this conscious humanitarian company? First they sell out the greenies, now they sell out the human rights gang. So much for that image.

I wonder if you’ll be able to get a tundra with tank tracks to get yourself around in Russia? On a different note, did anyone see how Time magazine named Vladimir Putin “man of the year”? Imagine that.

I’m startin’ to have respect for Russia.

^ Russia is the place to be right now idiot. its a shame that an inebriate bastard like you took so long to figure it out, ya ****ing jackass !!

This really has nothing to do with Toyota, so I’m sorry I even brought it up. Although, the last thing I remember hearing about Putin is how he was suspected to be involved with the poisoning of various political figures, and those who defy him. That’s the only reason I thought it was funny. Aside from that, I really don’t know how Russia is, so I can’t pass judgement.

hateful i thought it was pretty funny, dont those tanks run on vodka too.

we have had several russian engineers in my facility for a decade now, they are ****ing great, just like us, but speak russian. man those guys can appreciate the nastiest of jokes, they are so friggin cool. i just shipped a crapload of oilfield equipment for a bunch of other russians, when they came in to see the product(the company that bought the units) , the first thing they asked was where the titty bar was, and believe me i hooked them up good, my girl had 10 strippers ready when we got there…..oh **** we got plastered and they signed the paperwork.

jjt, it’s good to respect your enemies. Imagine us electing field officer of CIA as POTUS. Granted Bush I was CIA chief, but he was not involved in wet affairs himself. Putin was the field officer. Basically he is running the country and he has no love for US. The guy is angrier then Chaves and Castro combined since neither of them lost Cold War and this guy did.
Saudi fascist princes need US for protection from their own citizenry, Putin’s comrades communist don’t. They have oil now and they will do what in their power to screw us up and raise their own prosperity. We are diabolically opposed.

CTS: so who was more well oiled at the end of the night, the strippers or your customers?

That is correct. Right now Russian and China make the most numbers of billionaires per year compared to other countries. But to survive there is difficult at best if don’t know the corrupt gov systems and the fierce competition. But it’s a great place to try a one-shot.

“Saudi fascist princes need US for protection from their own citizenry,”

Maybe you don’t know the arab mentality, there the guys on top only needs to feed the hungry and they’ll be content with what they have.

the strippers sure with some greens, **** those guys can drink. great guys though, a lot of fun.

Veda, I reckon I miss something, but it looks to me that you repeated what I said.
In practice I would start invasion of Afghanistan from Riyadh marching east and burning everything but oil wells.

^hey moron, Riyadh is in Saudi Arabia

Wow…just when I thought LP640 had hit rock-bottom in idiocy.

autonut: russia elected a guy president.
not a man, but a guy.
That’s one good thing i can say about Cheney.
