Yeah well , it tends to stay in Russia. What do you want me to tell you? I have been in Russia starting in 2003, and the last time was a few years ago. It has gotten better every time. Should I believe my own eyes or you?

It's pretty much what it's coming to, since the last I've heard on Russian... ( sorry Ukrainian) news, is that the negotiations between the US and Russia are going ahead, Russia doesn't mind to include the US in the Minsk format ( since it's the US that defines Ukrainian policies anyway,) and Russia's objections/concerns over her security are taken in consideration by now.

If Russia was smart the people would overthrow Putin, become a legitimate social democracy, join the West instead of fighting it. There are many economic opportunities if they aligned with the West. Russia is Russia's worst enemy.
Arrogant ignorance at its best. Wow! Ignorance on all levels.
You are a good example of a heavily brainwashed American.

Don't think so. Russia is not ready to spend trillions on Ukraine denazification, not to say rebuilding it economy. USA spent over $5bln to build Nazism there, so let USA continue to deal with this cesspool.

In the chance encounters with US troops they’ve gotten obliterated.

They’re a thorn in the side. Nothing more.
Russia is alone, but the USA + NATO + the UK + EU etc. all together can't do nothing against this 'thorn'.
Looks like this single 'thorn' is more powerful than the whole gang.

NYC and London cannot compete with Moscow.
Moscow is one of the most beautiful, cleanest and advanced cities of the world. Their public subway stations look like palaces. No graffiti, no garbage on streets etc.
Take a look at it:

Wow! You have to read comments from the people around the world about these pictures of Moscow.
Many of them say the same: Moscow is more modern, beautiful and cleaner than London, NYC or Paris. Even the French say it.

Russia chief advantage is they they have the stake in the game , and the rest of the world knows it. Though again Western Ukraine is really not going to work, just Donbas.

Right. This is because Putin made Russia great again.
