In the coming mess the USA is unique in our advantages to all the rest of the World.
No better place to weather the coming storm.
Russia has its own advantages. Huge territory, Stockpile of nuclear weapons, friendly relations with over half the population of the world, basically no debt, more oil than any other country, more food production than they need, no hostile minority populations in the heart of the country.

We do have a huge stockpile of weapons, and the ability to produce food, but that is about it. Our economy is a house of cards.

I would consider moving to Russia but I'm too old to learn another language. I have enough trouble with spoken English (shot rifles with no hearing protection in my young life).


Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
