So, if you had to, you guys would live in Russia before any country in the EU?
Russia is a Democracy, so yes. And it is a Sovereign Nation. All EU Nations are LIBERAL SHITHOLES!
Lefty loved Russia when it was a communist dictatorship. Now that people actually have the right to vote over there and have voter ID, lefty hates RUSSIA.
Deep State and its brainwashed liberal sheep hate Russia because:
1. Putin guards the sovereignty of Russia and doesn't allow ANYBODY even to think to harm it.
2. Russia deports ALL illegals as soon as they are spotted.
3. Gay propaganda among children is forbidden.
4. Playing race card is forbidden. Political correctness (= hiding the truth) makes no sense therefore.
5. ID (a passport of Russian citizen) is required for voting.
Yes. libs, what an aggressive country Russia is and what a tyrant her President us, ha?
Yet somehow the quality of life is way, way better in the U.S., Canada, U.K. Netherlands, France, Australia, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Japan, Norway, Denmark, Singapore, Italy, Luxembourg, Austria and more.
Russia's economy is minuscule compared to ours, virtually every western democracy has more personal freedoms than Russia and are healthier.
Russia needs to clean it's shit up, it's corrupt, dirty and the guy on top has enriched himself and others and screwed over his own people.
Let's not forget: West is doing its best trying to hobble Russia as much as possible with its stupid sanctions. But in spite of sanctions:

Billionaire investor George Soros said he saw Russia emerging as a global power as the European Union collapses, in much the same way as the EU flourished when the Soviet Union started falling.
Soros added that he felt "more than ever" that the EU's destiny hinged on Ukraine's future.

MOSCOW — Amid increasingly tense relations with the United States over Syria, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia took advantage of a routine meeting in Istanbul on Monday to advance the Kremlin’s reconciliation with Turkey, including an agreement to revive
a suspended natural-gas pipeline project.
The new pipeline, known as the
Turkish Stream, would run under the Black Sea to Turkey and then the Greek border, allowing Russian gas to reach Western markets without using Russia’s existing export pipelines through Eastern Europe.
The pipeline would make it much easier for Russia to cut off gas supplies to neighboring countries like Ukraine without disrupting sales to countries farther west like Italy or Austria. Russia has been trying for years to establish such an export route.
