You know not what you talk about! I am married to a wonderful Russian woman, live in Russia and get along just fine with the people here.
In fact, most of them can’t stand Biden and are always joking with me about him - they also hated Obama. The people here have more in common with us conservatives more than you can imagine, and most cherish traditional values. The homo stuff isn’t celebrated here and shoved down our kids’ throats like most of the rest of the world. It’s quite refreshing to not be bombarded with it, like in the states. And that was one of a few reasons I moved here with my wife and 5-year-old son.

And what did we do instead? Rubbed Russia's nose in it by breaking up Yugoslavia.

Russians have their good and bad characteristics (they are human after all) But to claim they are more “moral” than others is a laugh - they have statistically higher rates of abortion and substance abuse than here in the USA and a declining population, indicators of societal decline.

May we all be blessed with peaceful and prosperous lives wherever we are. Nevertheless if the day comes where Russia yet again has designs on Poland, may every Russian soldier never even see a drop of their blood in the Vistula as they will meet their maker before they even get to Bialystok.
