Lets score the Russians down because they won’t be one of our vassal states. groan..
Yeah - Russia is run by thugs - and like we still have the ‘rule-of-law’? The USA is now a ‘cartel-socialist’ country now with all the associated corruption. More socialist than the Russians (41% vs 35%.)
So Putin might have taken out a turn-coat spy - and we don’t do the same with drones? ( killing a few civilians on the way).
We are owned by the Saudis - (google why it is a secret the amount of our debt they own). But I have much more in common with Russians than I do with Saudis. I don’t think it is OK to rape one’s maids.
