GG, 🕷

Call me an ignorant fuck if you like, and we certainly have our own little ‘Russia-USA’ situation with Serbia here... but why exactly is good diplomatic relation between USA-Russia a bad deal? Cold War is over... or is it? Genuinely curious how being in solid relationship with Russia affects US Citizens, or Russian, for that matter. I mean, is anyone genuinely worried about a Red Dawn/Pygmy situation? It’s just funny to me how Americans (generalizing here to make a point, please understand) can be so paranoid, when their essence is multicultural. At least here on Balcan, you have clear ethnical territories, ripe for narrow mindedness.

Are you talking about Trump meeting Putin or Russia-USA relations in general?

In general of course.

It's lack of trust from both sides.

Also one is a free, democratic country and another is a authoritarian dictatorship which really doesn't help the matters.

You make one sound like Disneyland while other is North Korea, when it’s far, far from reality.

Well I thought of putting free and democratic in quotes fwiw.

Or rather... ‘putin’? It’s just funny to me cause I don’t want to just blindly read whatever the West says about the matter, myself being somewhere in the middle of two fractions, and then I also have almost everyday connections with the East and when you say dictatorship I cannot help but laugh. When did we degrade into ‘West is beer & jeans and East is vodka & Gulag’ sort of talk really? It’s false news ma man. Of course, when politics are involved, everything returns to the old school talk, but I’m talking regular people, everyday life.

Seriously? From whatever I know of Russia, I'd rather put it with North Korea and China than USA, UK, Japan etc. Hell, how oligarchs, police, and army in Russia operate sounds more like Narcos: Mexico if you ask me.
