They are narcissistic psychopaths who will say and do whatever gives them more power without any consideration of the consequences, even when lives at risk.
The best way to deal with these kinds of people is to isolate yourself from them as much as possible.
In the recent past, Russia was offering land for immigrants. Similar to what America did little over 100 years ago. Homesteads, you build a productive farm or ranch, the land is yours. If I wasn’t approaching 60 I would have jumped. What could be different about the climate than Alaska, or Canada? My brother learned Russian working for the NSA/ASA. My dad and his family spoke it when I grew up. The life I always dreamed about was a fantasy. It is unobtainable. If you spend a career building wealth, you can do it. Then life is over..... Life in the US is a constant stream from wallet to government. Sorry, this country has been sick for some time. The first blow was the Federal Reserve. the American dream died, coincidentaly right about 9/11 an attack to cover up financial crimes. Let me know when the funeral date is set.
