Likewise. It's a thought terminator. I have a theory that you need a more sophisticated understanding of history to be able to place the countries in context. Honestly I'm not sold on Russia being a positive force in the world, but I know what an insatiable imperial war machine America is and I don't think Russia has bloody trails leading through the global south like America does. And I'm more concerned with the country I have a more intimate understanding of having lived there before.
