I don’t know. I always looked at Russia (after Kruschev) as a huge open land with many resources like the old American West.
Good to see, at least the Germans aren’t buying the ‘Russian Collusion’ crap that the Democrats are so hung up on.
I watch some Russian Youtubers. It is amazing how much of a market-based economy they have. During the old Soviet days their grocery stores were atrocious. Now they have the equivalent to large box stores like Petco just for their pets.
Say what ya want about Putin but their economy is banging.
Without my glasses, the headline looked like “Dahmer to Open Restaurant in Moscow”. Whew!! Missed it by that much.
Was at a Russian luncheon this week. Talk was of the Mueller report and how much they hate Putin. Always hear that at their parties. Pro American.
Also most are getting family members out of that cesspool.
It doesn’t bother me that German companies have discovered that they can make more money in a land that is retreating from Marxism than they can in their own country, which is getting more Marxist by the year.
