Say what you want about Vladdy Pooty Poot—but he does look after the national interest of Russia more than this clown.
Oh, I’d say Obie looks after the interests of Russia pretty swimmingly...
In 1982 I met my wife in Austria (I was stationed in Germany). She has many Austrian, German, Hungarian, Polish and Russian (Soviet) relatives. Over the years since, we have visited many of them. (they were broken up after world war II).
In the 80’s they all wanted to come to America. Now? No way. They prefer where they are at. Better economy, and less Pravda. With the internet a solid state item in these countries now, they read American news and have no interest what-so-ever in our country. They feel they would be moving backwards.
Once they had no national pride, but that coin has flipped. The American populace by far distrusts and hates their country, while my in-laws have national confidence and pride.
I don’t have relatives or connections in Spain or Greece, but I imagine the scenario is much different there.
