It's funny but personally I'd feel less safe traveling to the USA. The chance of finding myself in the midst of a mass shooting terrifies me. Also being robbed, being involved in a road rage accident. If I was black I'd add t

> Difference is that government makes sense of not giving the power away, unlike other governments do... That is the most important point and tells you who's really ruling a country.

It doesn't work that way, as made clear on this thread it's hard enough to get meetups going when they're free. Asking people to pay for entry means that in most cases the meetup won't happen at all. If meetups don'

There is no Ukrainian/Soviet distinction. Ukrainians were Soviet at the time. Ukraine was historically part of the Russian empire and only split very briefly after the revolution. You are trying to promote the idea of a split between R
