It's strange, I'm sure several continents separate us, but we think the same way, I'm building my house in a small mountain village surrounded by a huge forest, beautiful deer roam the streets at night, a couple of weeks ago a mother wild boar of almost 200 kg walked by my fence with 8 piglets . Countless birds fly around us from the forest. I wouldn't trade the peace and quiet for any fashionable place, even though I've traveled the world from Alaska to the Caribbean, from North Africa to Scotland and to the former Soviet Union!

I will never understand those who are fueled by a crazy desire to chase money, all I care about is being able to pay my bills!

I would imprison all those who build huge armies in order to steal the goods of other countries, such as the colonialists (the West) who rob black Africa to this day and therefore keep military bases there !

And with this logic, of course, the Russian people are also hateful, what do they imagine sitting alone on the world's greatest mineral resources ?

It seems you're building in the Blue Ridge from the wildlife you describe. I'm in central Florida.

I agree with everything you have wrote except what you wrote about the Russian People. I also think you're wrong about the Russian government because they have a defensive posture. You must be an American afflicted with the manufactured mental disorder Russophobia.

Well, you misunderstood me, it's true that English is not my mother tongue! :)

I have no problem with the Russians, my father was freed from the prison of the dictatorship in 1956 by a Russian man, he owes his life to him !

On the other hand, what I wrote in a funny and nuanced way about the Russian mineral wealth indicated that the Western powers, led by the USA, want to acquire it for themselves ! I tried to express myself in a cultured way, but you took the complete opposite meaning out of it ! 😟
