No sir. This feels like the Soviet Union.
In 1972 I knew someone whose classmate the year before in college went on a Michigan State University trip to the Soviet Union. A guy in their Russian language majors tour group painted a black moustache on a public poster of Lenin and was seen and quickly caught and arrested. Took a lot of trouble for MSU and lawyers to get him the chance to go home. How could he think all countries are as easygoing as the US?
