1 - The executive branch of the US government is now more dictatorial, oppressive and tyrannical than the Russian government.
2 - Unlike Americans, Russians have a president who is a citizen of their country, a patriot and places the interests of their country first.
Just a short time back I mad a comment on FR indicating that I think the situation in this country may now be worse than in Russia and was roundly denounced for it. Somehow I believe a lot of people are coming to that conclusion now. Which way you are heading means more than where you are and I think that Russia may have hit bottom and started back up while we seem to still be headed down. I certainly don’t hear or read all the comments about “our great freedoms” that I used to note just a few years ago. You have to be rather blind to not realize that our great freedoms are mainly a thing of the past.
