    It’d be nice is Russia can take back itself from that dick-tater… Get rid of all of Putin’s ilk, elect a decent person as president., power wash the stench away, peace talks with their neighbors, condemnation of the US Pedo Party. All that good stuff.

    Highly doubt it will happen.

    Damn, I want that for the US!

      Take it back to what, though? The 1990s? I guess that’d be an improvement. What they really need is progress. Is there any kind of progressive movement in Russia?

        It would not be an improvement - do you have any idea how bad the 1990s were in Russia?

        There’s a reason that Putin has high support, and it’s not all manufactured. It’s that the Yeltsin shock therapy was really traumatic - largest peacetime drop in life expectancy in recorded history.
