Apparently the guy was a volunteer in Kazakhstan and seems to have some kind of white nationalist vibe about being a "white minority" or something.

Incidentally, this was apparently how he got his big break:


He was hired by RT, the Kremlin-financed television station, after giving an impressive presentation on a cucumber festival in the provincial city of Kirov

What on Earth? How is Russia doing anyways? It still seems to be an autocratic oligarchic state with ample issued inequality. At least the US has some semblance of balance. How could Russia be better or have I just missed the wonders of a Putin regime?

Reminds me of what I do abroad despite having US citizenship....

Make fun of Americans.

Nonsense, our corruptions are glossier, more professional, and better paying.

U.S. has a better job hiding it but in end it's all the same thing.

I prefer the term: fascism.

The US doesn't need corruption in the same vein as other countries have it. The laws already favor the rich.
