You could start by not being such a condescending douche bag, but I think that ain’t gonna happen.

I did not write or imply that Russians aren’t smart enough to handle the free market game. Don’t put words in my fingers.

The US meddled in Russian elections (bragged openly about it in the press), got Yeltsin and a compliant Russian gov’t that allowed the financial raping of the country while the country was still reeling from the collapse of the USSR.

Putin, definitely not a “Mr. Nice Guy, came in and put a stop to the destruction of his country. Awake and in the real world!
