The Russians have a culture that precludes internal development. They believe that life is a zero sum game and that the only way to advance is to take. They have no trust in anything and they can never be trusted.

I really, REALLY don't like the idea that what you say is true. In my comfortable world, we and the Russians can get along and help each other with various world issues.

Tell me about it - my parents lost 1200 hectares or 3000 acres to the Russians - prime Carpathian sub alpine property.

But they fled with their lives - these poor sobs lost everything.
