Oh, come on! Russians aren't as bad as portrayed by western media. Some of their folks are pretty good comrades. Americans, for example, never wanted to embrace Russians after the Czar slaughter. Perhaps, that created more troubles for them to break Russia up further after the purchase of Alaska. Took'em quite a few decades to have Mikey Gorbie do the shattering again. All in all, Vlad is more rational than many western corrupt officials and so I wouldn't judge either him or his nation so much.

"Elites hold multiple passports." Steven Seagal was given a Russian passport a few days ago by Putin himself. I will never watch a Steven Seagal movie again.

We have to forget historical facts. I mean if I were a British second-world-war veteran I might feel squeamish about accepting an American passport, remembering how we and the commonwealth countries were left to fight on our own for four long years. It was only when the Americans were threatened directly by the Japanese that they deigned to join us. We still had to pay for all the ammunitions and equipment shipped over from USA in the convoys. The expense of the war-effort broke the UK for good.

On the bright side, these Walmart hotdogs actually taste like they should.
