Agree fren! They helped us become a country helping us in the revolutionary war, and even civil war. Can't hold it against them for having jews that did a hostile take over of their gov.
If I were ever forced to leave this country due to
Progressive "leaders", Russia would be the only country I would consider moving to, if they would have me that is.
I asked my fellow parishoners who had the original case of TDS why witches and the church of Satan hated him too. Seemed strange they would oppose an evil man. Sometimes you need to look at the trees in the forest to understand it.
They operate under what is called "state capitalism". They allow private businesses, but strategic resources (energy, banking, defense, etc) are controlled by the government, almost completely. It's also an oligarchy, where the vast majority of wealth is controlled by a select few, who mostly have ties to people in the government.
They no longer have a flat tax rate. In 2021, they increased the tax rate for those in the upper tax bracket. Soooo...does that make them Socialists now, since that's a progressive tax rate?
No dog in this hunt but respectfully how is an Ogliarchy different than what we have? We have political “families “ owned by shadow groups who choose who gets to run and who isi chosen. Like I said no dog in the hunt I don’t trust anyone except by what they actually do. I just don’t see how an open Ogliarchy is different than a shadow one. I can’t hate them anymore than our “allies” that seem to do us a lot of damage. JS
Yep. All true. They also don't have free speech protections or anything like a 2nd ammendment. Fully 64% of the population requires state welfare to meet daily food requirements.
You may find it interesting that Russia is 15% Muslim, compared to the USA which is 1.4%
When I study modern Russia, I find it hard to see how Americans would be happy living there. Compelled military service wouldn't be attractive to most in The States.
Anyone that has actually been there, or lived there, or knows people who recently left there have a hugely different view of it.
And, sorry, but I'm a kid of the 80s. The Regean Era completely indoctrinated me to not trust them.
I'm not saying I hate them or I'm against certain things they do. I simply do not trust them.
And yes, Russian troll and propaganda farms are real.
I find it ironic that people who are absolutely convinced that everyone online who claim to be against Trump and all the people at the No Kings rallies and such are all either bots (the online stuff, obviously) are being paid to pretend to be Democrats or Socialists or liberals turn around and sing the praises of Russia, who literally has the government paying people to work in troll and propaganda farms.
He has not abducted any children, Russians have taken the East Ukrainian kids to safety from the warzone. And it was actually Ukraine who started the war.
The United States started the war when the NeoCons and Obamunists alike supported the Euromaidan color revolution which overthrew President Yanukovych and replaced him with Poroshenko, who then began killing his own citizens in the Donbass region. All Ukraine had to do was stop butchering the Russians in the East and not park NATO weapons in their country in violation of the Minsk Accords.
I've never believed they were our true enemy. They may have been at one time, sure but they haven't been our enemy for years in my opinion.
we are friends of Japan, they actually attacked us, Russia didn't.
Not since the Iron Curtain fell.

Putin did offer Americans half price visas for Russia for those who wish to live in a moral country. Putin said and did that.
Remember as well, Snowden is there when a warmer climate was not available.
I always noticed this too. The enemy of my enemy, is my friend.
I have the same stand. Russia is hated by all the right people/groups.
And by all the right people, you mean the left people.
Yes ...
Bolsheviks
u/#paw
I do.
If I were ever forced to leave this country due to Progressive "leaders", Russia would be the only country I would consider moving to, if they would have me that is.
I hear some eastern european countries are also good options.
And live under the EU? No thanks!
Poland FTW.
Agreed, Russia or Poland would be the only two id consider.
Never forget the 60 million Russian Orthodox Christians killed by the Bolsheviks.
Agree.

Is it 5:5 yet???
Oh, and the CCP gets taken out in a single night.
One. Single. Night.
Bet.

europe has spent an awful lot of their resources keeping russia down historically. they have been a threat for a long time.
Since Russia blockaded the eaters seaboard to prevent European meddling in our Civil War.
They are still commies.
No, they're not.
Russia is actually one of the most capitalist countries today. They even have a low, flat income tax. A progressive tax rate is socialist.
I dated one. They are.
Most of them outside of moscow and st pete rave how better it was during soviet and want that back apposed to the bullshit they get now.
Two things.

I 100% agree that it's just an open version of what we operate under in the US.
But how often do you see people complaining here about the Deep State and cabal doing the same thing here? Because I see it frequently.
Another irony that people are gushing about a country that publicly supports the same thing they complain about here.
Yep. All true. They also don't have free speech protections or anything like a 2nd ammendment. Fully 64% of the population requires state welfare to meet daily food requirements.

Agreed. They just see the idolized version of it.

It's almost funny, if it wasn't so stupid.

Well, Russian orthodox Christian culture at least. But yes, Russia ain't the baddy now.
Q140---What if China, Russia, and others are coordinating w/ POTUS to eliminate the NWO?
"Pedophiles hate Russia,"
The others on your list make documented sense, but I see zero evidence for that one.
He has not abducted any children, Russians have taken the East Ukrainian kids to safety from the warzone. And it was actually Ukraine who started the war.
No, he has not and Ukraine attacked Russians living in East Ukraine.
There is still a genocide of ethnic Russians happening in Ukraine.
Western propaganda.
Russia has not abducted Ukrainian children and haven't turned them into child soldiers. Putin is not "a sick piece of shit".
There is genocide in Ukraine done by Kiev, russians are killed by Ukrainian Nazis.
Go back to Reddit. Maybe the people there will believe you.
The United States started the war when the NeoCons and Obamunists alike supported the Euromaidan color revolution which overthrew President Yanukovych and replaced him with Poroshenko, who then began killing his own citizens in the Donbass region. All Ukraine had to do was stop butchering the Russians in the East and not park NATO weapons in their country in violation of the Minsk Accords.
The people of Crimea wanted to join Russian federation and had even referendum.
