For every comment discussed about Russia, I can say the same for Europe and America.,(reply>), Kirstin Strand - I’m a bit more cynical than that, I suspect the power lies with the deep states, USA, UK, China etc. <br>There is almost a Hollywood feel to politics in the west. Which leads me to believe the power lies elsewhere.,(reply>), Where does the power lay? Washington  DC or Brussels? My guess is DC.<br>However, Brussels enjoys it COVERT status. Therefore,  nothing would surprise me.,(reply>), Kirstin Strand -✌️ I’m not entirely sure Europe and USA are joined at the hip, but we do have many of the same political problems, Oligarchs!,(reply>), Yes, similar but different. RUSSIA has their unique issues to address.,(reply>), Especially the USA, being American, I see the EU and the US joined at the hip.
