    There’s poisoning the well and there’s your statistics aren’t valid unless you’ve been to Russia lately.

    You didn't provide a statistic. In fact, neither did I. I just laughed at the one showing that Russians had a PPP Per Capita Income of $15K as if that was a lot!

    This is a stupid way to look at it. Russia started its incursion in Donbas in 2014 and it escalated to an outright invasion. As if who was president of America had anything to do with it lol.

    Nah, it is just that you aren't worth much more. So I have to ask, why don't you actually move there? You have expressed your opinion that Russia is better than the US. Why continue to live in the place you consider worse? I am aware of no laws in the US that prevent expatriation. So go live your best life, right?

    Grown men who presumably went to college thinking world events are driven by how much world leaders think the US president is a pussy is a sight to see

    Hold on, PP, I’m not done yet. Georgia has a better football program than we do.

    I do suspect that Russian leaders regard our leaders as dimwits based on what our leaders say and do.

    Translation: you don't actually believe it, you just think it sounds edgy. Revealed preference for the win again.

    LOL! 40 million, 2 years, and a whole lot of nothing that affected 2016. Expect the same in 2024 while China and Iran gets a pass.

    Interesting response. So multiple convictions related to understanding the activities (setting the attribution question aside for now), is nothing, but you think that a lack of convictions is proof?

    Key Findings of the Mueller Report | ACS

    Here's some highlights from the Mueller report that you must have missed at the time:
    • The investigation produced 37 indictments; seven guilty pleas or convictions; and compelling evidence that the president obstructed justice on multiple occasions. Mueller also uncovered and referred 14 criminal matters to other components of the Department of Justice.
    • Trump associates repeatedly lied to investigators about their contacts with Russians, and President Trump refused to answer questions about his efforts to impede federal proceedings and influence the testimony of witnesses.
    • Russian interference in the 2016 election was “sweeping and systemic.”
    • Major attack avenues included a social media “information warfare” campaign that “favored” candidate Trump and the hacking of Clinton campaign-related databases and release of stolen materials through Russian-created entities and Wikileaks.
    • Russia also targeted databases in many states related to administering elections gaining access to information for millions of registered voters.
    • Senior members of the Trump campaign, including Paul Manafort, Donald Trump, Jr., and Jared Kushner took a June 9, 2016, meeting with Russian nationals at Trump Tower, New York, after outreach from an intermediary informed Trump, Jr., that the Russians had derogatory information on Clinton that was “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.
    • The Report contains no evidence that any Trump campaign official reported their contacts with Russia or WikiLeaks to U.S. law enforcement authorities during the campaign or presidential transition, despite public reports on Russian hacking starting in June 2016 and candidate Trump’s August 2016 intelligence briefing warning him that Russia was seeking to interfere in the election

    Petulance - the quality of being easily annoyed and complaining in a rude way like a child. Ex: “So what if Western sanctions have backfired in spectacular fashion. It’s still a poor-ass country Ha-Ha! and don’t bother me with nuance.”

    Russia - a gas station masquerading as a country that’s keeping Westerners addled every day.

    Unsurprisingly, you got the definition of petulance wrong. It is a bit like when a kid learns a new word, isn't really sure how to use it, so they way overutilize it.

    But yeah, it is still a poor-ass country. BTW, I haven't complained once on here. You spend most of your time complaining about how bad this country is. I am not complaining about Russia being poor or other people noticing that Russia is poor.

    In his original incarnation he would always talk about how it was supposedly easier to start a small business in China than America, sometimes the grass is always greener

    That whole thing with Tucker Carlson in Russia lauding it for its cleanliness and grocery stores was unusual. Or maybe not.

    As it turns out that whole thing of how Soros was paying liberals to oppose trump was projection all along.
