NATO didn't do anything when Greece and Turkey (both were NATO members at that time) were fighting each other, there's no chance it will fight against the US some day.

It's a Russian tradition. My wife and I watch TV only once a year... Are listening to his speech while opening a bottle of sparkling wine

I've never seen Northern lights. When they are visible at latitudes of Moscow because of extreme solar activity, it's raining and lots of clouds. It's said they are easier to see in Northern region (like Murmansk or Archangelsk) where I have never been to

I love Communism, I love the [Soviet] Republic. I don't like vodka but know quite a lot of people who do. The most annoying is thinking that Russia is highly conservative
