Well, I do like cold climates but no, I seriously doubt I could get happy living in Alberta or Saskatchewan with their Mennonite culture, lol. Try Washington State. I could probably deal with British Columbia so if they have decent brokers and lawyers then yeah, I could adapt.

Now I'm curious. Would you have the same reaction if I said I wanted to buy an island and annex to France? Sweden? How about Taiwan or Switzerland? And you are aware that most islands are cheaper than a decent house, right? A lot of those islands are cheaper than a one-off Lamborghini, lol.
Oh, but people are buying all that propaganda! zOOmg! Horrors!

When I was little, I believed that Iraq was an evil empire that wanted to nuke America. I believed that Hawaii was one of our States because they wanted to be part of America. And I believed that everything our country did was to make the world a better place to live in. But maybe it's more about what I didn't believe.
Yeah, there's anti-Russian talk in the US. But how about the Russian woman who taught me how important it is to be honest. She was at our house almost every day and I learned a lot from her. And how about the Russian couple that taught me how to pronounce Russian words. And how about...

Do you want the whole list? None of that was propaganda. It was all good advice. The propaganda was on the TV and it could switched off. Real-life doesn't have a remote.
So maybe I've just heard more truth from Russians than I have from Americans?
So now we're gonna free up those poor Ukrainians from the evil Russians! Excuse me if I can't see Russians as being evil. And yeah, those Ukrainians look real happy about what we did - they're hiding in their houses. And the Ukrainians in the east half of Ukraine are just being bombed and killed. That's not propaganda, it's real-life and it's all over the news.

I watched an old movie called "The In-Laws" and I googled something I heard - "Bay of Pigs". That's when I learned just how much our country would do to destabilize a government it didn't like. Btw, did you know that the CIA tried to assassinate Castro 10 times? Cuba wasn't a threat. So, our country is a lot like the Muslim extremists - believe what we believe or die!
How about we have our government and Cuba has it's government so no issues? How about peace if we haven't been attacked?

Anyway, our country has a huge statue off the New York coast that invites immigrants to our country. The EU demands that European countries accept immigrants.
That means that migrating to other countries is not only acceptable, but also very politically correct.
And since I don't require the freedom to watch gay sex parades and I'm not a political activist - but I am an Orthodox Christian - then no, I don't see any connection between propaganda and moving to Russia. Only gay and political activists have issues with geopolitical borders, I don't. But I will want any kids I have to be in a stable culture and safe from western "global conquest" extremism, gay propaganda, and cultural urban warfare.

Being an @sshole government isn't about being just a different government. Look at Japan, India, Brazil, for instance. They're all unique in many ways, and they pretty much differ from what we expect to see in the American/European culture. And everyone's fine with that! No classified operations, no CIA involved, etc. So, it's not about being different and "not like us". The thing is, such regimes as Cuba, North Korea, Syria, Iran and certain others are a big misery for all those unlucky people who happen to be inside those countries, and a big disgrace for all humanity on the outside. It's a shame to have such dictatorships these days, and not do anything about it. So, something has to be done. Probably by those who can.

If I were to buy myself an island, I would run there my own custom state that would fit just right for me. So yeah, I find it a little weird when you buy stuff and then gift it to a country like that. The same would go for anyone buying a Lamborghini and "annexing" it to the Kremlin/White House property.

That's the most naive thing I've heard in my entire life. You made my day, thank you very much

You know, the American nation is the nation of saints, who cannot help but think about all the unfairness in the world, and, big surprise, that's all without even thinking of any benefit for themselves


P.S. Eric, you do know that what you wrote pretty much coincides with the stereotypic view of an average American??? If so, you're such a subtle troll. If not, then my condolences
