What, you want me to defend that scumbag? Not me. Some people are all about power, and it doesn't matter what side of the political spectrum their totalitarianism spawns from. The transition from Communist to Fascist was easy for Putin.

I know a couple of people really well that have lived in China, Japan, and Korea. The stories are so horrid I do not think I even want to visit any of those places.

Japan a low IQ nation?? Where do you get your facts? Japanese IQ is much higher than that of the USA, even much higher than USA white gentiles:

Very few Japanese emigrate to the USA.
