We're talking about the land of political opponents disappearing by "accident",of Presidents who win 140 percent of the vote, the country who denies it's obvious involvement in a neighboring civil war.
Now the U.S government isn't open or transparent by a long shot, but to say Russia is any better is down right crazy.
America has political opponents dissapearing "by accident", too, they keep it quieter though, see John Roll, for the most recent political murder. There are three country categories in the world: Ones that have one elite, ones that have multiple elites and ones that don't matter (only third category can be a true republic and care for its folk). And America denies that Abkhazia and South Ossetia exist, and other countries.
Russia and America both are not transparent, but generally, first category countries are more transparent.
Xyapy, you're winning a fight that can't be won. Why? Because you're wrong! A wise man once said to me,"Never fight with an idiot, he'll always think he's right. So really Xyapy, I'm sorry for you. To everyone else in warlight: Let Xyapy vent in his room filled with posters of Soviet "might", he can wallow in his ignorance all his life for all I care.
And America denies that Abkhazia and South Ossetia exist, and other countries.
So? Both entities you mentioned are recognized by about four or five countries each. Most of the world denies that these two exist! This random tidbit hardly builds a case against the U.S.
But they do exist - though you are right, America is not the only guilty one here. Well, there is no recent equivalent other than this, but it's pretty much the same - America/NATO says that they don't exist when everyone well knows that they do.
Only a handful of countries recognize them, so it's pretty safe to call them illegitimate. Do you believe every group that tries breaking off should be immediately recognized? The world would become balkanized very quick if we start recognizing every break-away state.
Back to the topic, 9-11, and the War On Terror. Go to Drudge Report on line or Infowars or the Power Hour. there are many people who have researched the facts and ongoing deception. I believe the attack on 9-11 was allowed to happen by elements or the US government and the Banking-Corporate Cartel which controls most of the wealth in the world. The 1% , the richest people in the World are pushing us towards a future where the Corporations control everything. The evidence is overwhelming. Right now the Congress is voting to approve a trade treaty which will give the Corporations Legal standing to have their own court system to oversee trade and copywrite matters. They are voting without seeing the details of the agreement.
