Sunvolt,,,, the top half of my above post was aimed at TomZ and his comments.
I agree with you about her attitude and bias against the US,,, a relationship with her would be near impossible.
It also brings up the question of why so many women that don’t like the West are on dating websites that cater to the West.
I was also agreeing with you about the money,,,, the 300 I sent was a test,,,, and she failed. It saved me 1000 to 1,300USD airfare, plus taxi and hotel costs.
I think you went about this the best way possible,,, the right balance of risk and caution,,,, but there still is a chance, a small chance, that she could get a kickback,,,, what if she knew English the whole time? I’ve met women that knew much more English than what was listed in their profile. I’ve also met women that advertised they knew English,,, just to get a guy to write. Most of the time, the truth comes out when you start making plans to meet.
The English schools are becoming a big scam in Ukraine. We’ve had several people/groups come to the forum to advertise,,, most are from Nikolayev It seems that the more schools that open for business,,, the poorer the English levels of the girls get. I knew several girls in Nikolayev,,, years ago they had a rating of 7 to 9 ,,,, now they are beginners?? One used to work as an interpreter,,,, now she is a beginner?? The interp I had in Herson spoke and wrote better English than we do,,,, she is now on a scammer watch list, because she scammed a guy over English classes.
My ex claimed not to know English,,, but laughed at my jokes before the interpreter did? A year later,,, she could have gave the US National news report,,, without an accent.
If you spent some time with your girl on video skype,,, you should have a fairly accurate idea of her abilities. But if not,,,, her insults of the US have kept you from meeting and finding out the truth for yourself. These temper tantrums that they throw, is also to get the “knee jerk” reaction from us,,,, to buy gifts to make it all better.
Durak: “If you are only interested in stories that are pro-Putin, and reject anything that might put Russia in an unfavorable light, then discussion with you is pointless.”
I was wondering because, by all accounts, the BUK system(s) that the rebels/terrorists had were PDQ moved back across the Russian border after the MH17 incident:
Kiev said two of its fighter jets were shot down over the rebel-held territory in eastern Ukraine on Wednesday, and the missiles that brought them down might have been fired from Russia.
A spokesman for Ukraine's military operations said the planes were shot down near Savur Mogila, not far from where a Malaysian airliner was brought down last week, killing all 298 passengers on board.
Ukraine's Security Council said the military jets were hit at the altitude of 5,200 meters by missiles that, according to preliminary information, were launched from Russia.
"They were shot down very professionally. The terrorists do not have such professionals," said Andriy Lysenko, the council's spokesman, referring to pro-Russian rebels fighting the government forces in eastern Ukraine.
The rebels said they shot down the plane themselves.
Why do all the threads have to lead to the conflict with separatists? Most of which is just speculation. It has little to do with relationships with FSU ladies. Any man looking for a lady over there doing all this talk with them is going to scare them off quicker than you say let's go to bed.
The tv intervew i saw the rebals said they have had no help from the russian government .
Where as ukraine government has had help . So when the truth comes out that ukraine has shot down a passenger jet . America caused it by backing a crininal ukraine government . The blood is on americans hands . From what i understand america gave two minit noodles to the ukraine troops . If they where looking for food they clearly wouldnt have the energy to shoot a passenger aircraft .
The US says it has evidence that Russia has fired artillery across the border targeting Ukrainian military positions.
Russia also intends "to deliver heavier and more powerful multiple rocket launchers" to pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine, the state department said.
Russia has frequently denied sending any rocket launchers into Ukraine.
The US comment comes a week after Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crashed in eastern Ukraine, with the rebels widely accused of shooting it down.
Multinational efforts to find the cause of the crash is under way, led by the Netherlands which lost 193 of its citizens. All 298 people on board the flight died in the crash.
The US, which has repeatedly accused Russia of fuelling separatist sentiment in eastern Ukraine, says it believes that rebels shot down flight MH17 with a Russian-provided SA-11 Buk surface-to-air missile, probably by mistake.
Leading rebels in eastern Ukraine have given conflicting accounts of whether they had control of a Buk launcher at the time the plane was downed.
State department spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters on Thursday the US had evidence derived from "human intelligence information" showing Russia firing artillery into eastern Ukraine.
She said the US would not provide further details so as not to compromise sources and methods of intelligence collection.
As far as chemical weapons or WMD in Iraq, just because there was none found doesn't mean there wasn't. In what could have taken a couple of months of inspections, which was the agreement in the first Iraq war surrender, the United Nations took several years.
Saddam Hussein refused the inspections. When he allowed them, he would kick them out when they just got started or before they finished. During that time, Iraq had plenty of time to get rid of the weapons. At that time, I thought Syria and Russia.
Russia, just like China always sides against the United States in the UN or world politics. I suppose this is to curtail the US power.
Many believe, including myself that the chemical weapons Syria has today came from Iraq.
I know this is way off topic, but if Saddam had not invaded Kuwait in 1990, then the country would still have been under the "heel" of the Ba'ath party today. He was complaining about how low OPEC prices had dropped back then. Look where they are now, he would raking in the profits and sitting pretty and still in control of his police state. His greed resulted in complete turmoil in his country and his death. Note that I am not defending him, but he obviously was a very short sighted person who thought he could call his bluff.

Wifeseeker, This is something I have never been able to understand. The owners of this forum are doing us all a big favor by providing this forum to educate and advise us in finding a wife overseas, yet all the posters have ever done here is attack one another. Now that Ukraine is in a political crisis, every thread has disintegrated into a conflict between support of the separatists or against them. And let's not even mention how Western men here hate Russians. If anyone on this forum does find an Eastern European bride, I feel sorry for the bride.
