Yes, they don't want any part of it.

But they still have a nuclear arsenal - probably the second biggest on the planet? They will always be relevant with such.
Yes they will be.

And the more events are progressing, the more relevant Russia will be.

Because those weapons ( all their advanced military planes including) didn't come out of nowhere.

Russians have a long history of math/engineering/science and this doesn't sit well with the narrative that some would love to adhere to, that's it's simply a "gas station that pretends to be a country."

I hope they never allow their nation to be overrun and flooded with non-Russians forced on them by some illigitimate UN "refugee relocation" scam, like America and the rest of the West'West's leaders have done to their people. Same with Hungary.

Meh, “businesslike” is more appropriate.

On their Vkontakte page, the Russian Facebook-like social media network where the Male State rose to prominence, Yobidoyobi said it apologized "to the Russian nation" for having "hurt the Russian people" with the photographs."

As much as I would like to travel there someday, I don't think I would consider living there at this moment.

This is where I stand. I don't see what is so bad about inclusion when it comes to race. I personally don't see what is so "5 eyes" about it.

Why do you think America "sucks"? And why do you want to move to Russia? Explain why.

is perceived as invasion ( and downright propaganda) of the foreign values.
Alexander Pushkin, a widely loved Russian poet, has partial African ancestry. His maternal great grandfather was a military engineer, supposedly born in either Eritrea or Cameroon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Pushkin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abram_Petrovich_Gannibal

Blacks have never been a measurable part of Russia's population, but those that have been inn Russia have been part of Russian society. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Russians
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coretti_Arle-Titz
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Gannibal

To say Blacks were never part of Russian history would be dishonest.

Well there is a new apartheid today against the majority group in America, and it's disgusting. The Russians would be wise to never commit self-inflicted genocide like the majority group in America has.

For anyone who would claim that Russia is better than the USA, why should I feel the same way? I'm not trying to talk down on Russia. Both the USA and Russia have issues. However, I also understand this. I'm Black. I'm also the kind of Black male who has taken photos with White women (and I'm the only Black person in the photo). Being an American, I think about this. Some will say "the West is killing itself and Russia won't do that". I'm as American as they come. Aren't I part of the West? Or when some people mention the West, are they only talking about Whites from the West and Blacks are not considered to be part of the West?

OP — what does “five eyes” mean?

I think the left currently hates Russia because they think Russia helped Trump get elected.
