1. Russians love to party and party a lot. There are no stupid laws like US restricting age or even whatbyou drink when you want to party: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.the...?client=safari

2. Russia has free healthcare that is one of the best in the world. Don't believe me? Healthcare in Russia is so great that ONLY 1 in 4 Russian males dies before the age of 55: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.the...?client=safari

3. In Russia they don't have stupid MSM liberal media. The media only speaks the truth and there are dire consequences when you publish fake liberal news: https://www.google.com/amp/www.indep...?client=safari

Ag what a country. Don't believe anything the stupid MSM tells you. We won fair and square get over it.
There are four tent cities around Seattle now ( I am talking homeless people) - I am sure there are plenty more in other warmer cities.
Russia is a warped image of American capitalist system, exported there by wonderful American "economic advisers". Russians simply took it a notch further, got rid of annoying formalities of two-party system and placed all their wealth in the hands of top 0,1% to enjoy. Case closed.
Americans couldn't let them suffer under the yoke of European socialism, that's why they made damn sure that "free market" rules in Russia.
And so it rules.

I have never seen such hatred for a country that doesn'r actually threaten us directly as for Russia, the country you are scapegoating for the failures of the statist authoritarian democrat party and the 5th column presstitutes, well, maybe Israel for the horrible sin of being nasty to the poor innocent people who strap bombs to children and explode them in coffeeshops. Meanwhile you can't wait to import all of the middle east "refugess" to the US and these are people who and continue to create terrorist havoc right here.

When Russians shoot up an airport or army base or drive trucks through a crowd, I will sign up for the anti Russia movement. Until then all of you easily led weak minded morons shoud consider if maybe teaming up with the #2 or #3 superpower to combat the real threats facing us might be better than needlessly antagonizing them can just yap amongst yourselves like the poodles you are and let adults like Trump lead the way.
Oh yes, Russians are the best guys ever. It's not like they shoot down passenger aircraft: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mala...ines_Flight_17 or annexing a territory from an independent country with a military operation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne...ian_Federation or invade another neighboring country: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Georgian_War

Oh no, thy are the good guys alright.

" Why Russia is great and why we need to be friends with them "

They have some great people, but I wouldn't call the country great. Certainly not horrible either, but somewhere in between. They have some really tough issues and problems. An overreaching government, censorship, untrustworthy authority, crime, wars, the economy and so on. I do believe we can have a somewhat friendly relationship with them though, one that will be profitable for both countries. We just need to watch our back, which we can do.

Russia has no friends, only subordinate nations.

America is even greater, even in our worst moments, and we are on the mend big-time, so Russia would obviously do well to want to be friends with us.

That's how I see it anyway.

General Mattis, your thoughts?

they process Ruskies in the US
Russian federation is a multinational country. There are many different nationalities live in Russia and there are tens of different republics inside Russia. I think that the majority of immigrants that came here from Russia are not ethnic russians.

You are spreading fake news and intentional misinformation of the anti-russia propaganda. And you even add you own lies to it. Well done!
But who would trust wiki that is full of bullshyte? Wiki is just another ideological tool to manipulate minds of the sheep.

The USSR forced America to spend trillions of dollars on the cold war arms race. We don't need to do it again. Those who cannot learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.

Friends are better than enemies. Common sense .
You mean Europe right?
