    Russia wants Hawaii, California and Alaska

    LOL, Hawaii and Kali would probably help Russia take them over willingly. Alaska I think not so much. IMO, we should give em Kali and Hawaii and fence Kali off from the rest of our country with mines, guns and men to prevent escape and infestation from the rest of us. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...2395a2e8&ei=29

    Strangely, Alaska wouldn't change that much under Russian rule...but the citizens of CA and HI would find themselves under very, very, very different law and rules.

    I don't know about that. They might not even notice the change. They've already adopted most of the communist agenda right now.

    I don't know how you figure that? Kali is almost communist. Alaska is more independent by my way of thinking.

    That's my take too.

    Possibly you guys have missed a bit of history, circa 1991, when communism fell? Russia is no longer a communist country. Authoritarian democracy yes, communist no.

    Nope. Haven't missed a thing.

    Whether control is by a Politburo or single head it doesn't change much. The means may change, but the end remains the same.

    The names may change, but...

    Communism by any other name.....

    You are incorrect about Russia, but I will not argue with you. You have been conditioned by the neocons to believe once a commie nemesis...always a commie nemesis...

    Russia and the US have far more in common than we have differences...except for the neocons who require we be enemies.

    I do not expect you to believe it on my say so, but I do expect you to consider the possibility...

    I have always thought the US should have reached out to Russia when Communism fell. We could have been great allies and our two countries could have become the most powerful (economically, politically, militarily, etc.) allies in the world.

    But, we didn't. And as a result, we are now on opposite sides of everything. Russia has aligned itself with non-western countries and has provided them with all the benefits we lost.

    Of course, Idiot Joe has only exacerbated the situation further.

    I agree with Oswald. Russia is a corrupt dictatorship oligarchy but it's NOT communist. Government corruption, the backroom deals, enriching one's buddies is common in the world in NON communist country (look at 10% for the big guy in the USA). California is more communist in that Newsom wants the state government to 'make things fair' in the private sector with endless state government restrictions, regulations and stupid laws. Like Trudeau in Canada, Newsom is a commie. But Putin is not. He's more akin to other historical figures like Idi Amin, or Saddam Hussein before his overthrow.
