    Its a history, and it is SOVIETS. Big difference.

    Not gonna happen. Europe will not isolate Russia, just because US wants it. So the only isolation possible is between US & Russia, which is not that important to us.

    From wikipedia

    Vodka is a distilled alcoholic beverage. It is a clear liquid which consists of mostly water and ethanol purified by distillation — often multiple distillation — from a fermented substance such as potatoes, grain (usually rye or wheat) or sugar beet molasses, and an insignificant amount of other substances such as flavorings or unintended impurities.

    Vodka usually has an alcohol content of 35% to 50% by volume. The classic Polish, Lithuanian and Russian vodka is 40% (80 proof). This can be attributed to the Russian standards for vodka production introduced in 1894 by Alexander III.[1] According to the Vodka Museum in Moscow, Dmitri Mendeleev, a Russian chemist, found the perfect percentage to be 38. However, since spirits in his time were taxed on their strength, the percentage was rounded up to 40 to simplify the tax computation. At strengths less than this, Vodka drunk neat (without ice and not mixed with other liquids) can taste "watery": above this strength, the taste of Vodka can have more "burn". Some governments set a minimum alcohol content for a spirit to be called "Vodka". For example, the European Union sets a minimum of 37.5% alcohol by volume.

    Although Vodka is traditionally drunk neat in the Eastern European and Nordic countries of the "Vodka Belt", its popularity elsewhere owes much to its usefulness in cocktails and other mixed drinks, such as the Bloody Mary, the Screwdriver, the vodka tonic, vodka martini, and most recently vodka red bull.

    You are funny) What vodka has got to do with the topic title? Shall I start with McDuck then ?))) In the end vodka will be the winner ;)

    Back on topic, to your knowledge, the agreement of russian presense in Sevastopol was signed untill 2017. So, NATO can sit and relax till then.

    I think it's awesome that Ukrainians have the right to protest. I wonder if these few thousand people could have protested whatever they wished when they were under soviet rule?

    Hope US's government has enough brains not build a base in Sevastopol. Sevastopol isn't Okinawa.

    You forgot to mention bears are walking on streets of Russian cities.
    Create a vodka's thread and say there how you like vodka.
