I have long believed Russia and the USA has many common reasons to be allies and being non adversarial would be of benefit to both. You have not shared your age so we do not know your point of reference. I visited St.Petersburg in 2002 just when Russia was trying embrace capitalism. What struck me is most people over 40 seemed lost. They did not seem to know what to do with their new freedoms and the responsibility of being free. Whereas, those younger seemed really excited about their newly found freedoms.

As for Putin, he has been tough on radical Muslims which he should be. However, I see him as a narcicisist who desires to put the old Soviet Union back together. This would not be good for Russia or the West. I can assure you the West only wants peace and has no intentions of trying to defeat a Russia that also coexists in peace.

Hello.
I'll be 41 in a few days.
Yes, in cities, there was total chaos for a long time but my family is vast and we are mostly rural, in small towns and tiny settlements all over former Soviet Union, life didn't change much after Soviet Union fell whether you were 13 or 53.

Wait'll they start asking you what your kids like where styles are concerned. :glare:
"Would your daughter wear this, or your grandson like one of these?"

My answer is always, "I doubt it, they only wear orange in prison". :laugh:

I understand your feelings regarding Putin.. Things are a lot more complicated regarding him from where I stand but I'll eventually chime-in in one of the Russians-did-it - related thread.
If the Russians did have anything to do with the election results, may I be the first to say thank you.

On my trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, a few different people asked what my accent was, when I replied Russian, they immediately asked me what I thought about Trump!
Jokingly, I replied "you're welcome", which made them laugh and buy drinks  :thumbsup:

The joking around does not stop at 41, thats not even the half way point. :thumbup:   Just keep up with what is current, I told a young person to bend a wire and use it like a car crank, poor lad had no idea what I was talking about.
