The point of this post wasn’t to say we should become like Russia, it was why do we need to hate fear and fight them
You say you want reform and more prosperity in us. As trump understands, that won’t come if we get bogged down in more wars, esp with russia
I completely agree, and I don’t fear Russia. You use the phrase, “if Russia conquered us...” and then went on to suggest the things would be fine because our tax rate would be lower. Sorry, I disagree. As others have said, Cuba has a lower tax rate than we do. I don’t want to be them.
Look, in general we’re on the same side. Really. I just think it’s really important that you not romanticize Russia. Obama is an idiot. And I agree that we don’t need to antagonize Russia and could have a much better relationship with them as Trump has suggested. I’m fine with all of that. But I’d rather be an American with all of our problems than a Russian. There are still plenty of Marxists in Russia.
Thank you! Unfortunately, some posters here did a knee-jerk reaction and missed the point of this thread entirely. How someone could have read the original post and interpreted it to be asking why we shouldn't become like Russia is beyond me.
