It’s weird that a lot of people have such strong opinions without any evidence or rationale supporting it. Americans are not immune to the propaganda of their government/media.

Unfortunately tooany people are too trusting of the one thing they have a duty to question, their government. All governments are corrupt, in my opinion. I have visited the states many times, beautiful country but too insular. I have lived on Australia, Scotland, travelled Europe extensively, visited Japan, Sri Lanka and North Africa. Twice I've been to Israel. At this moment, despite what's going on, Russians are very much behind their leader and it is a great place.
