What "commie feelings"? Not even Putin has commie feelings, considering he has made "The GULag Archipelago" required high school reading since 2010.
Your problem is that you can't answer the points I have made, which are simple recognition of reality. Americans as individuals are quite welcome. But what I was talking about was the U.S. GOVERNMENT, the biggest bully on the planet. Even against its own citizens. Marines are among the finest men I have known, but it is no excuse for supporting a despotic and bullying regime. That sullies your oath of service.
Africans loving Putin is where this began.
You misunderstood me.
Let me be clearer.
Africans couldn’t find Russia on a globe and you expect me to believe they’re having a love fest on Vlad?
Lol.
It depends on what nonsense you believe. Africans in the street or Africans in national governments? I'm sure they have no emotional attachment, but they do like doing business with someone who respects them and is not out to gouge the nation or the people. Who cares where Russia is? All they know is what happens when Russians are dealing with them. And be sure to understand that by "Russians" I am speaking of emissaries, not necessarily tourists.
They don't know that much about the U.S. either, but they know enough about bullies to resent the U.S. government for its desire to change their ways. They like Americans just fine, but the U.S. as a government, not so much.
You have to carefully distinguish between tourists and representatives of the government. Africans are not stupid.
