Russia may not care (doubtful), but the airline will not even let you board.
Not trashing your host is probably wise, but given his experience with the US government, he probably no longer subscribes to the naive worldview that Putin (or Xi) are uniquely bad, just bad in their own ways and responding to the world with their nation's interests (and their legacies) in mind.
- phatfish 3y agoThis is a fun narrative that the US is just the same as the Russian or Chinese governments, i wonder who could benefit from pushing that... The fact Snowden is still alive pushing anti-US propaganda shows the difference, if the roles were reversed he would have been assassinated long ago.
