Russia is not liberal or democratic. It is a corrupt capitalist oligarchy/dictatorship with limited human rights. It was built by the US from the corpse of the USSR.

Y'all claim to hate Russia but also spend a suspicious amount of time defending it.

It is exactly as liberal and democratic as america.

Absolutely not. America is more liberal and democratic, even if marginally. America has not had a single dictator in power for 2 decades and it's actually fairly okay to be gay in America.

I would 1000% rather live in the US than live in Russia.
