Russia

[Gandalf]

My wife works for a Russian company and has been to Russia. Interesting place. Making good use of their plentiful raw materials. Good on Putin for getting the win. Russia is in it for the long run. I loved how they ramped up the interest rates. Putins a patriot. None of that GMO muck or NGO's stoking mayhem and bringing in migrants everywhere. Also excellent work with Crimea. Russia dealt with ISIS and Assad remains. Putins a player.

Anyone else they would be a tyrant but he is a hero to you. Go figure.

He is very popular in Russia which is more than can be said for Theresa May. Russia does a lot of things right and they deserve credit for that. Some things are a bit dodgy, but it's a large powerful country and a bit complicated. You live in a country with FPTP, so you are not exactly in a position to claim free and open elections either. It results in a 2 party monopoly on the system and it costs a tremendous amount of money to even launch a new party. Plus both parties sell the country down the river anyway. At least Russia can control its borders and has a sensible central bank. Carry on importing people from the 3rd world and make sure you build enough new houses. Totally democratic. Oh, and arrest more people for having an opinion about it. That is not tyrannical at all. Go figure.
