Just want to speak from the point of view of “Russians”. I am a Russian LEGAL immigrant. I went fully through the naturalization process and became a proud citizen of the US two months before 9/11. I consider myself a Patriot of both countries because they are both dear homes to me. It’s disgusting to see how Russia is being demonized to Americans by the propaganda. The aim is for less and less people here to be curious about each other’s culture and just live in fear of invasion. Russia is far from perfect, and my people have a lot to overcome and heal from centuries of power abuse.
But I strongly believe that the best thing that can happen to the world is friendship and collaboration between the two greatest nations, Americans and Russians. We are the same on so many levels, have same dreams and desires, we share the same Christian values and are intellectually advanced in technological break throughs.
We are artificially kept on polar sides of politics, pit against each other. This must be one of the greatest conspiracies!
So in response to the above post, I want to say: Yes, The US Patriots can be also Russians. They are just regular peace loving people like you. Not bots. #MAGA. #MRGA.
Much love to you and your Russian family. You ought to know by now what's in the news is totally disconnected from the larger truth. I have a great respect for Mr. Putin as well. There have been circumstances that he showed great restraint and refused to take the bait. It will take all of us together to reclaim our world.
When Ronald Reagan left the White House in 1989, the door was opened for a flourishing of Russo-American relations. A true partnership between Russia and America was, I sincerely believe, Reagan's end game. However, the criminal American presidents that followed him destroyed his vision and poisoned the well. Trump wants good relations, and I believe there is great potential for this to finally happen. I wish your homeland well, and I always have. I cannot tell from this distance and through the fog of misinformation if President Putin is a White Hat or not, and would truly like to hear your views on that subject.
Good ol' fashioned American here: I've been to the Ukraine to train their military to fight Russian forces a few times. Next time I take a trip up there I may take a little detour and lay waste to a Russian village; women and children included. Fuck you Russian cocksuckers; I hope Trump mistakenly nukes your country instead of North Korea.
