This is similar to the Libya war, when French Pres. Sarkozy needed to oust Qaddafi in order to cover up some past oil-related shenanigans.

-— “Unlike Los Angeles, nobody in Moscow normally sleeps in a tent.”

We agree wholeheartedly. When last I was in LA — about a year ago — I saw devastation for many, and a city government pretending to govern at best. Biden elevates Garcetti to ambassador? Idiocy squared. And rewarded.

—— “A Russian woman will cook a $5 meal for her family. An American family might eat out at $18/person.”

We mere middle class Americans cook meals at home a great deal, and live rather frugal lives, yet eat well. Would that a middle class around this world all enjoy such.

“There are no bums in the streets in Russia, unemployment is under 4% and the shops are fully stocked.”

Tovarich, my Russian friend.

Russian GDP is the same size as Spain.
Per capita, Spain is literally twice as powerful as an economic nation.

Throw off the yoke of Putin and things will improve. What is it in the Russian soul, that makes them bow down to overlords?

Similar in the rhetoric. Different times and a very different enemy.

>And North Korea gets everyone on edge too once in awhile cause of nukes and threats. Both are still garbage.”

Your entitled to your opinion — even if you are wrong. Russia is in the top 10 countries in the world and are technologically ahead of us in some areas. Remember the first satellite or first human in space or us paying Russia to shoot our astronauts into space ‘cause we couldn’t do it.

I remember.
