American don’t breed well either. we are afflicted with same birthing disease as the russians.

We still come out ahead with 1.6623 births per woman versus Russia's 1.5215. Incredible to think that even under Biden, more Americans than Russians believe in their country's future. It's almost like Putin doesn't care about the rampant alcoholism and suicide rates among his own people.

—”Big deal, a little cold never bothered the Russians.”

You may want to review the Winter War with Finland.
Another Special Military Operation (3 months, 1 week and 6 days)
Russia lost 170,000 dead or missing.
188,671–207,538 wounded or sick. (including at least 61,506 sick or frostbitten.)

“General Frost is a myth created and amplified by the Russian state since the 19th century. As a person, who served in the Soviet Army, I can tell you that nature favors nobody and the Russian army has never had special training or was prepared for winter warfare,” Hrabsky said.

Conservative paradise? Says who? I admire them for standing up for the truth and for God. Two sexes, no green deal, appreciation of history, concern for their borders. I’m envious of that but I live in rural Kentucky, free from feral America. All of Russia is almost as third world as all American cities. Would I trade Kentucky for anywhere in Russia? No way. A broken, war zone Seattle neighborhood for St. Petersburg? Sure.

Old Soviet joke
Man goes to buy a lada, dealer say ready in ten years, man asks morning or afternoon?, dealer says what the difference?
Man says I have plumber coming in the afternoon

My son-in-law will enjoy this one.

A newer Russian joke.
“In Moscow, they teach many languages.
Russian to those that want to study the past, English and Hebrew to those that want to leave, and Chinese to those that want to stay.”

"No green deal". You sure about that? I wouldn't put it past Russia to fund US environmental groups to stop us from drilling, thus removing one of their key competitors in the oil industry. We already know they colluded with Hillary in 2016, backed Hamas, and supported BLM to stir up domestic unrest in America. Russia is not MAGA's friend.
