    It really started in 2016 when US security agencies released a joint report showing Russia was spreading misinformation to help Trump win the election.

    Compare russia to the British and consider who is the bigger villain.

      Can we not bother deciding who was the biggest nightmare, and instead focus on finding models for the best countries.

      I am so sick of the “at least the USSR had…” or “at least China does…” conversation. Can’t we have a “Finland has high happiness, broad socialist protections, and a fast moving economy” kind of conversations.
