    A perfectly fair stance Russia’s current government aint good, yes its better than the western backed looters that preceded them but that bar is so low its underground. Like let us not forget Putin tried to have Russia join nato, Russia under its current leadership only opposes nato imperialism because they couldn’t partake.
