We don't even see any Made in Russia products other than maybe beer. Meanwhile China and our government fuck us nearly every single day with shitty products, expensive medicine, literal plagues, and then at home things like vaccines, circumcision, horrible crime and violence.
Russia has caused me zero problems in my life, ever. Not once. In spite of the constant media barage I really can't understand why, of all countries, Russia is the one that we can't learn to get along with.
Think about it. We literally Nuked the fuck out of Japan.... yet we are allies with Japan now. Germany were literal nazis... yet we are allies. In fact, almost every "bad" country, from WW2 and WW1 we are now allies with.... EVEN FUCKING CHINA... except Russia.
Why. Why if people and countries can change can't they? If it was racist to ban flights from China and call it the China Virus, why are people throwing out Russian Vodka and banning their athletes... WE JUST HAD THE OLYMPICS IN CHINA... THE SOURCE OF THE CHINA VIRUS THAT FUCKED US ALL MORE THAN ANYTHING SINCE WW2!!!! What the fuck is really going on?
You know the kind of country that sides with all the "bad guys" after a war? That's right... either an evil country OR one that lost the war but told its citizens that it didn't.
Does Russia know the truth? Is the way the second world war wrapped up all bullshit? Did we actually lose? My mind is getting fucked up over this.
Here’s a thought that may not have occurred to you; Russia (especially USSR, which appealed to the lefties) has for decades funded and promoted environmental activists who oppose drilling, fracking, pipelines (except their own) and nuclear power, and promote wind solar and “renewable” (wood pellets) energy, which they know is a joke. Remember “nuclear winter” and “acid rain”? These were the precursors of the Global Warming/Greta Thunberg phenomenon. It continues. See Rupert Darwall’s “Green Tyranny” for documentary evidence of all this beginning in 1970s. P. S. Hitler pioneered “wind energy”. It didn’t work for him either.
So, while Russia isn’t exactly an enemy of USA, they’re a shrewd and crafty competitor especially as regards our energy independence and ability to supply energy to the market. 2 short years ago the price of a barrel of oil was $0! There were tankers full sitting idle with no buyers. GEOTUS refilled our own strategic reserve at that point. What a great president.
