Wonder how much Russia may have changed in 43 years🤔

Personally I think I would rather go to Russia than China. I heard the Chinese locked people upn in their cubical apartments welded the doors shut during the C***d P******c over there. Some died of starvation. Unless I heard wrong.

I just read your post. I am sure it's changed.
Everything changes in life. I can see a huge change here in America just over the past 10 years.
Too many "WOKE," people for me.
Rings in their noses and green hair.
Not the same country I was raised in.

I see your out in CA.
I have a friend Al Duncan who lived in CA. He is a real religious guy and said he had a revelation from the Lord to leave America.
He has moved to Costa Rica.

Now I see the Banks beginning to fail. Government hiring and arming 1000's of new IRS federal employees.
Our national debt outrageous.
Inflation out of sight.
Malls and businesses closing here in Oklahoma.
Foreigners pouring in over our border and homeless here in my town appearing.
Our country has changed big time in just 3 years.

Looks like our leader blew up the Russian Nordstrom gas pipeline and rumor is we just sent a armed drone into Moscow.
Looks like another Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria
is brewing against a nuclear armed nation.

Not good times...

I understand why people want to come here.. With all the problems we have here, this is still the best country in the World, at least in my opinion..I dont blame them.. My only problem is that they need to apply in their country of origin, like my family did..And come here LEGALLY!!..

It's been 43 yrs since we came to this great country, called United States of America..My memories of Soviet Union are still vivid.. My family was very close knit..We lived in small studio, all 4 of us, but we were very happy.. My school was within walking distance..40 students in one class, from first grade all the way to 8th.. Same teachers...I still remember my math teacher.. Of course in schools they were teaching us that America is evil.. My dad h**ed C*******m.. He actually wanted to move to States when I was a little girl..but my mom's parents were totally against it..Than one day it happened..When I was 14 my dad told me, we are moving to America.. Of course after all the bad things teachers in school told us about far away country, I told my parents that I will run away... The only way I agreed to go was when my dad told me I will have my own room..lol...So one day my dad went to my school's principal and told him we are going to Finland for my dad's work for 1 year ... We couldn't say we are moving to America.. The next day whole school knew my secret, even my biggest enemies became my friends because they want me to bring blue jeans....lol..It was 3 months after that day that we finally were going to move..

I have to mention biggest reason that my parents wanted to leave Soviet Union.. We were , we are Jewish.. Back than being Jewish was dangerous.. My family was constantly threatened by a thug who lived above us..I was attacked by some of my classmates for being Jewish..My cousin who was straight A student could not get into colleges of his choice because of his religion... This was main reason for my dad wanting us to move to this great country..America..

Of course there were good memories too.. I miss my friends, change of seasons holidays .. We did had fun.. I miss my mom and dad who've recently passed away.. My reason for writing this is for people to understand that just because I lived in c*******t country, does not mean I'm c*******t sympathizer.. If you guys have any questions , I will answer them..

It's been 43 yrs since we came to this great count... (show quote)

All the people who h**e America and think it's r****t and oppressive and want socialsm/ c*******m need to be sent to the most ridged places who run their government like that for about 5 years. They would change their tune fast. Brittney Griner got just a small taste of it but apparently not long enough for it to sink in that America is a pretty good place to live. As far as the L***Q push there isn't a country as lenient on earth as the US which is actually very harmful as strong a push for it in this country. 98% of other countries either jail them for a long time or outright k**l them.
