Having dealt with a few and having a very close associate of mine spend a fair bit of time out there doing business in the period after the fall of the Soviet Union when it was like the Wild West ! lol……I’d say they are the same yet different in the same way Germans or Irish or French are different but the same.

Every discussion with you turns into a white supremacy argument. My point is, nobody can explain what this spotless leader looks like, what his actions would be in an ideal world or even what qualifies him (or her) as such ? I just want someone who does right by his own people….i don’t really care above that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, you will have to excuse me as my academic career was cut somewhat short, so I’ll take you word for it that there are vast swathes of Russia that look like snoop dog and go and massacre other villages for a bottle of sunny delight !

But the west deserves a leader who has a bit more brain and lives life by higher, personal moral standards than Trump and his backroom people. Who would you suggest ?.

jukel123 10,406 Posted Friday at 12:27 Author Report Share Posted Friday at 12:27 (edited) Just by way of light relief. I offer the following . As we know lots of people were displaced by the WW2 . I was born in a dock area and so the ethnic mix in the class had the double whammy of history and location. Somehow a Russian lad was part of my class of United and not so United nations. He was exceptionally useless. Football, reading, swimming, scrapping, PE. He was just shit. He couldn't even take the cane with any dignity. Most lads would take their punishment 'like a man'. No flinching, no girly sobbing. If you really wanted status, you grinned at the teacher and appeared nonchalant. The Ruskie used to weep, scream and, on a couple of occasions, ran off home. He looked just like a Ghenkis Khan type. If he had a fur hat he would have been indistinguishable. The thing I most remember about him though were the two ringlets of green snot which always lay between his nostrils and top lip. Occasionally the teacher would roar at him to stop sniffing and wipe his nose. He dutifully obliged, but with an absence of handkerchiefs or tissues in those far off days, he would wipe his nose on his sleeve. As a result one of his nicknames was 'shiny sleeves.' Here endeth my memories of the Russian character. Edited Friday at 12:32 by jukel123 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
