Well that's the past.

Right, living in this anarchy of lunatics and criminals is ideal.

I’ve never said I like or respect Putin. All I said is Russia seems like a decent, peaceful place.

What does "boring" mean?

Personally, the times I'm out on a hike in nature and don't see another human being for six hours are the times I am most exhilarated. For me, "boring" is anyplace with tons of people around.

If Russia sounds like a decent place to live, then why are more people leaving Russian than moving there?

By the way, plenty of criminals in Russia too. Russia's media is not a free media. America has far more freedom of press. America has alot of criminals and so does Russia. We just hear about it more in America.

By the way, why would I, having the life that I have here in America, want to move to Putin's Russia? What benefits would I get out of moving to Russia at this moment?

I liked the country a lot when I visited Russia as a tourist. It's such a beautiful country and people are just gorgeous.

Generally speaking, it's a safe country and there are a lot of fun things to do over there. I think if we as Americans travel more, we would wish for world peace.

Honestly, both Russia and ukraine are in my prayers. I blame putin the idiot for making such a horrible decision.
