All these years we've all been told how bad and corrupt Russia is. And good we are and how good we have it.

Same people/entities spreading this message, they're the same ones lying to us about everything going on in this country. Ain't they?

Met a young russian guy last summer at the dock fishing.
He said the average person there is extremely poor compared to Canada.
A lot of the wealth never gets to the avg guy on the street.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Wouldn't want to live in Russia . USA is still a great country even though this past election proved we have wide spread corruption in government .


Does anyone here actually believe Biden is the legitimate president of the United States of America ?

Is the state of Louisiana included with this corrupting, then I would be bias in my decision .

Relatives visited from the Ukraine in the 1980 and they thought it was a ploy that there was 3 tractors and 2 combines on our farm, she kept asking when is the state going to take them away ?
She could not think a farm could be 3,600 acres under one family possession.

For pure governmental corruption just look at every country south of Texas and north of Tierra del Fuego.

Sure we have corruption in the USA and have since our inception and that is government and private sector, but we are amateurs compared to the professionalism in corruption that goes on in many nations including Russia.

Very true Bryce. For those of us that have lived in other parts of the world we are well aware of that. Ever try bribing a cop in our country so as not to get a ticket?

The last few years I’m seeing more Russian type of Governing then the following of the Constitution and the rule of law we are based on. They don’t even try to hide the corruption anymore it’s in your face deal with it now.

I have a family member familiar with both the American and Russian governments and cultures.

The Russian government is much more corrupt than the American government.

Russian government corruption is expected and accepted by not only the Russian populace but by anyone familiar with their culture.


Eh...wot?

I once heard that Vladimir Putin is the richest man in the world. Richer than Gates, Buffet, Bezos, etc.

When has America ever had a president with that kind of wealth?

America is the greatest country on earth to live in. Why else did so many of our ancestors move here?

In the past the difference was that Russian's politicians felt no need to hide their corruption since the people could not do anything about it. Until this last election, US politicians tried to hide the corruption. US politicians are getting more bold. Voting is no longer an option to do something about it and they're working furiously to eliminate our only other option.

We're not Russia...yet.

Russia is by far more corrupt however..... I'll tell you this, other than political expression, they are more free.

The country ain't the problem. It's the people running it.
