    Can’t speak to Ethiopia, but I can assure you that the U.S. is nervous about the others leaning away from its orbit and leaning to Russia.

    Yes. We are petrified that Iran might lean away from us.

    I can only wish that we cared less about other countries and focused more on our own.

    I know, right? Putin just doesn’t seem interested in his own people. You would all be better off if he focused more in yiy than his ego.

    86.5% of Russians on the phone for you.

    I think you’d be crushed to learn how NOT fractured Russia is compared to the U.S.

    I think you’d be crushed to learn how little I care about the forced indifference Russians have for their leader.

    How do you presume to know Russian’s minds on Putin ?

    WRONG -

    They offer:

    1) Poverty
    2) Misery
    3) Drunkeness
    4) Early Death.

    In other words, they provide you all that mother Russia has to offer.

    So you’re saying that, based on some metrics, the US is a slightly taller midget than Russia ?

    I only know of your twisted viewpoints and thus admittedly that is how and why I project my view of the Russian mind.

    Well, that’s just not true. You have said far more than you love Russia more than the US. You are, through your own admission and pride, perhaps the biggest proponent of anarchy and discontent on almost every issue on these Boards. If all you ever said was the obvious and plain truism that that you love Russia more than the US , you wouldn’t have over 12,000 posts (with perhaps a record-low like-to-post ratio; something that before this moment I never thought I would even look at much less quote).

    I’m a little depressed. 12,000 posts and I could have only wished that I was making people restless and unhappy with the mayhem and misery that our fair country has caused around the world. But instead, they clamor for more of it.

    Actually, pat yourself in the back. You’ve done a great job. We are grateful to you pointing out all the misery and death the Russian leadership has caused across the globe. Thank you.

    I haven’t heard, “I know you are, but what am I ?” since the fifth-grade.

    They used that trite insult in the Russian school system? I had no idea.

    After all this years, twice now.

    You do know that Ukraine is getting crushed and all your left with is Bad Man Putin, don’t you ?
