I think I can understand now why Russian youth are into turning to faux-heroin make out of household/garage stuff that makes your body literally fall apart before you die!
It never once crosses the Ruskies minds that if they became a more progressive, open society and not be a bunch of macho xenophobic isolationists with massive egos and abysmal self-esteem most if not all of their malaise would dissipate.
And, unlike the USA, Russia has regressive types as a majority. It's scary!
V-Poo wants to turn us into them! NO WAY, BUDDY! YOU AND THE ORANGE GUY CAN EAT MY STAR SPANGLED SHORTS OF FREEEEEEEDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!
Russia! You can have our wingnut minority and we can have your Progressive minority and we'll both be happy and "Live & Let Live", m'kay? We''l gladly open our arms to all those good Russians who don't think like you....those wonderful Russian Progressives, Feminists, LGBTQs, Environmentalists, Anti-Bigots, Intellectuals, Non-Christians and those who don't see Western or Modern values as the equivalent of the Ebola virus.
I have never seen a more psychologically messed up country than Russia! Sure; The art is cool and the accents are sexy and I enjoyed the MST3K "Jack Frost" episode but....GOD!
The only bright side to Trump hangin' with V-Poo is that, at least we and Russia won't be at war. A USA/Russia war would be devastating!
The best course of action would be to just ignore each other. I read somewhere that V-Poo causes trouble because it gives him attention....and that same attention causes him to cause trouble. Ignore him and the stupid will die down and he'll be just another (albeit authoritarian) head-of-state.
This hopefully will blow over and die down. Dopey Russian want and deserve their lot. Bozos!
