“Russia’s not stupid”
Russians are not stupid. Putin is stupid!
Public opinion in Russia is tightly controlled with blanket censorship. However, the younger generation are currently part of the illegal border crossers into the U.S. Parents that afford to send their children others youth find various ways to become refugees here.
As for who are coming into America....we've always had Russians and various others who desire coming here and some who makes it. The US is the target for many other nations to come here as well.
Younger people of every country today don't want to be at war....but that's not the reality of the world. There’ will always be wars and reports of wars.
