The Saker is one among many who have been heavily linked by ZeroHedge over the years with an obvious Russophile bias I got bored with many years ago...I would routinely torture the Cult of Vlad...always the same with those clowns - Russia is perfect, Vlad is the smartest, toughest sexiest man on the planet...the West is (especially America) evil, selfish and the source of every ill on the planet. Yeah, sure... I tried using reason, explaining no place, no leader is free of vice, free of bias or free of corruption...no nation is safer than another in a world gone mad...like DemCom's when they cannot admit even simple obvious truths, they resort to the name calling... People can quibble on the edges but I see zero evidence after many decades to alter my opinion. Once, in a nominal sense when it was America and Europe and "freedom" vs The Red Menace of the Soviets and their occupation allies, Mao's China, North Vietnam, North Korea and Cuba's "totalitarianism" there was an obvious "rather be here than there" paradigm of human choice...now, the consequences of corruption in the numerous warnings of Our Founders has come to fruition and America is moving more into totalitarianism, Europe who has always had a significant socialist malignancy within it is moving more totalitarian...the Chi-Com's have never moved off totalitarianism...Australia and New Zealand as seen in the plandemic are eagerly totalitarian...and while many may not agree post-Soviet Russia is still totalitarian: they've all but banned political opposition, imprisoned its most potent political rival on BS, and tolerates opposition as long as it knows its subservient role, enjoys censorship to control national narrative...sound familiar? It's what the DemCom's are trying and want here - Russiagate, 2 bogus impeachments, Jan6 kangaroo court, BigBroTech censorship, corrupt elections...America in many respects under the DemCom's and controlled-opposition McConnell Cucks are trying to catch up where everybody else is...
The way things are going...the character DJ's credos of "it's all a machine" and "live free, don't join" may be wise, for in our real life drama unfolding before our eyes...I do not believe there is a "good" state to join...
https://youtu.be/NwYnbwQ0kv4...in a nation state perspective that is...
...the only "good" I see is us, we who believe in Founding Principles, God-given rights to Life and Liberty....
...apart from us is only "the machine"...
As for St.Petersburg...hilarious...the one Russian city whose citizens have always yearned to be more European regardless what maniac in Moscow lorded over them! In my ZH teasing days my Russian girlfriend was from there, very cosmopolitan...
Want to see the real and depressing Russia...go inland! Limey's like the idea of Russia not the reality!
