Pay attention. He was talking about major cities. What you posted looks very rural.
So the State Department homepage? THAT is your go to source for accurate information?
No bias there LOL. You can always trust DC!
How difficult was it to get a Visa? Even before this mess in Ukraine started, it was a pain to get one.
He’s making a valid point, but given the situation making it about Moscow is not the best plan.
Maybe stop by Tokyo on the way back, make the comment there. Or Budapest. Anywhere the globalists haven’t yet brought the “heart of darkness” to use, destroy, and despoil.
By the by I have no patience left for the cadre which is mocked as “Zeepers” and at the same time Putin gets no pass. Hey, Mr. Polonium Poisoner, I’m pretty sure the rampaging Polish cavalry didn’t really do much to provoke the first truly mechanized army into wiping it out coincidental with the Soviet invasion on the other side. Anything KGB says is planned and calculated for effect, although as a real journalist letting Putin say it was fine. We’re big boys here and not, as MSM would prefer, vacant sponges to be filled with whatever is spilled out of someone’s mouth.
Still, we need to get rid of our own plague here and just as the French monarchy was obviously hostile to American freedom but we found it mutually useful to cast off the British monarchy, so too here. No need to lose your head.
‘My first post to you and this one are rebuttals to your blinkered, uneducated comments re American cities; especially that whopper about people being “free” here.”
Um.. except that... I never said a thing about people being “free” here. I hypothetically asked Tucker if Moscow was “freer”. In which case, if not, how is it being touted as great or better than any US city? Look, I’m an American patriot. Are we being destroyed from within deliberately by the demonic leftist Democrats? Hell yes. Does that have ANYTHING to do with the fact that I disagree with Tucker that Moscow is better, as a city, at anything the USA is or has? Hell no.
Anyway, the distinction on my point vs. what some here thought I was saying seems to have been lost here. Have a nice evening.
“Russia is also not stuck with a bitter, dysfunctional black population having kids out of wedlock at an 80% rate”
Bingo! Winner Winner. Chicken dinner.
“So the State Department homepage? THAT is your go to source for accurate information?
No bias there LOL. You can always trust DC!”
So, can I count you on the “pro-Russia” side of this asinine debate then? Thanks for playing.
I use to drive around LA a lot....Watching illegal aliens sitting on bus benches tossing empty big gulp cups into the gutters, sitting on their fat azzes with trash up to their ankles.
Show me a Moscow scene depicting that Mr. Republican.
American cities are an embarrassment compared with any I’ve been in, besides those in impoverished third world countries. And most of those compare well. Two specific reasons. Politics and the demographic clustered within them which spawns and perpetuates the politics.
“I remember liberals used to always rave about how safe clean European cities were compared to those in USA...Then something made the European cities change”
...and then something made US cities change.
Still waiting for that ‘something’ to reach Moscow, St. Pete, Tokyo, Singapore, and a bunch of other cities.
You asked a question that isn't/wasn't "hypothetical" at all. Do try to expand your vocabulary.
And n00b, your comment wasn't "misunderstood" at all. I understood and replied with salient FACTS, which you have either ignored or poo pooed. And on top of THAT, galled my reply "emotional". Facts are now "EMOTIONAL" entities?
But yes, in a small way, perhaps I am somewhat "emotional" about the destruction and utter collapse of my hometown, which is very much tethered to the woof and warp of many generations of my family and where many edifices exist because of my family members; one such would NOT be located where it always has been, if not for my great, great grandparents.
“Tucker Carlson says Moscow is much cleaner and safer than any major city in the US...”
What an IDIOT. Moscow is the CAPITAL of Russia, of course it will be a top-of-the-line city.
But it cannot hold a candle to the US Capital, Washington DC, not a chance, note even close (since the candle would quickly be stolen).
“Do not travel to Russia due to the unpredictable consequences of the unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine...”
Obviously written for people who only watch CNN (or get paid to post here).
“The rural area I live in makes a dump look good. America’s best days are far behind her. Just about every system is old, worn out, crumbling and rusted. It looks awful. Thank the sheeple, no pride, no shame, no decency, waste, fraud, corruption and every un-Constitutional give away program.”
I suspect that most of the people bashing Russia have never left their DC offices to see what’s become of America in the past 50 years.
“Obviously written for people who only watch CNN (or get paid to post here).”
Ok, so.... you’re on the Pro-Russia side of this then. Thanks for playing. And for the record, I bet Russia pays pretty good for some of this good PR they’re getting here.
What part of “neither Russia OR Ukraine are friends of America” are some folks here too dense to comprehend? All of it, apparently.
“You can actually go on Google Earth and “drive” around all of Moscow, even the suburbs. There are “working class” neighborhoods - but you will not see a single piece of trash on the streets, nor any graffiti.”
DO NOT suggest that, as you make it VERY DIFFICULT for the Operatives here to keep their lies working.
Crime statstics, no personal opinion.
“Looks just like several Indian reservations in the American west.”
And FAR BETTER than many US Inner Cities.
“Um...ok. But I’ll pass. I do happen to like Stoli, but that’s about as close to anything Russian that I ever plan to get.”
No one is telling you to go. Just find us a crappy area in Moscow from Google Maps, and provide us the coordinates.
I’ll be surprised if ANYONE here can do that.
