Joke, right, article:: unless the rules are broken the deal will go through?! Haven't you heard, the US considers its self "exceptionalist"--US makes the rules for the entire globe, to follow or US will use "ECONOMIC WARFARE" ON YOUR ECONOMY AND BRING YOU DOWN! Five US Oligarchs own the Federal Reserve Bank, "a private bank" who decides the rates rules and everything else the US does financially They are well known,US Oligarch multi billionaires who continue to buy/sell world "dirivities, which are worthless paper and naked short sells to France, UK, EU, Spain, Germany until recent laws passed against law, US was furious. Best of all ask ask Russian Today's Kaiser of "Kaiser Report", he is a genius! He has been a stock broker and know the dirt bags and theiir tricks to relive the world of billions again. NEXT thing they will do is get legislation passed by buying off Green parties by getting them elected or reelected to push the legislation making the citiznes pay ENERGY TAX ES on everything, globally. so they can sell their tens of billions in "ENERGY CREDITS" they bought for almost nothing, as second "MONETARY RAID on the world's economies all of them including US got and continues to get fleeced too! NO lawmakers in the world appear to have the guts to make laws against what they are doing and put them all in jail for "life"

Business goes where the money is, .... oh wait... with exception of Russia. Then it is always a security concern. And criminals use ICQ? That's insulting the user base. How has AOL handled ICQ since their acquisition of ICQ? TERRIBLE!!!! And of course, US illegally monitors everything. Thank you Bush, Obama and Friends. You set global trends of tyranny.

As a 50 year old man who has spent his entire life in the U.S. I speak for many of those Americans who are yet to be brain washed by our corporate based government controlled idiot box/boob tube (television) and instead get our sources from a wide variety of sites for a clearer more honest perspective. What I have noticed is Russia is not our enemy! 'Red scare' made some folks much money though. I have noticed how Isreal plays and I for one think they are not to be trusted with anything to do with the control of information , anyones information! We have more Isreal spies in this country then all other countries in the world but you will never here that on the tv, why? If your reading this then you can do some homework and quickly find that answer on your own because I do not want anyone to prejudge me by saying I'm racist when I'm not. Please do some basic research and you decide. I love how fast you can get your answers online even if I do not like what I'm reading sometimes. Russia is a far safer bet to go with given the two choices, far safer ...

People still use ICQ?

To Jim : To quote you : If your (you are) reading this, then you can do some homework. Well, I did my homework and the correct spelling of Isreal is " Israel. " Obviously, English is not your first language. Are really from the United States?

JT of course people use it. If you want to keep something on the lowbrow you don't use Facebook.

@C: To quote you : "Are really from the United States?"

Are you C? Really? 

Go figure!
