If those Nationalists are that opposed to Putin and prefer the disaster called 1990's Russia, they can move to Detroit Michigan and have that lifestyle back. Well, they may wanna invest in some APC's, body armor, tanks, and AK-47's before they move. Detroit is so much like Russia was in the 90's. I think they call it the American Dream - I just call it a nightmare.
*Those Nationalists know their country far more than you do. *

I think it's fair to say that Russians there who feel oppressed to Putin and see that his clan is ruining the country have the RIGHT to object to what's going on. How come you can whine about the USA and make speeches but THEY 'can just move.' What a hypocrite.

But it's not bad for Russia. The Russian economy is growing, despite all the sanctions, and US trade with Russia has risen more than the trade with Europe. But hey, even the US Chamber of Commerce is highly opposed to any more sanctions.
The economy is NOT growing.

Hanna and UhOhXplode have no to little knowledge of the country or the politics and only because they are lapdogs to neo-Soviet leanings do you entertain them. There's no real discussion here.

I hope my last sentence is accepted. I edited the rest.* If not, the record shows they have little knowledge. Each time I prove them wrong with facts, they disregard it or make inane statements with no substance behind it. Пока.
