apparently you are unaware of the many freedoms we have lost in this country

They had ten year olds who spoke perfect English when I was in Russia, btw. This country badly needs a wake up call. You're probably so immersed in all the bureaucratic requirements here that you don't even realize it. I had to live over there to start getting it.

And I don't want to live there, nor do I think Putin is some angel - though I think Ted Cruz could be one. I know they have a lot of corruption but they also have a wonderful lack of oversight by government that I think we used to have here.

“I know they have a lot of corruption but they also have a wonderful lack of oversight by government that I think we used to have here.”

Having been around since the days of Stalin, i remeber very well how it used to be. I also can see how Democrats are moving us into an evermore authoritarian government, but we have a way to go yet before we have internal passports like Russia has today or the Soviet propiska which Putin’s regime is trending towards readopting in Russia. So much for the so-called freedoms when you have to have State approval to travel or migrate within Russia.

Nice try at sugarcoating the Russian autocracy, but is just false propaganda propped up by half-truths.
