Funny that on an American website there’s an article to encourage people to vote for a Russian intern affair. It’s relatively new.

The sooner we accept we are on a new paradigm the better . We’ve seen the USSR dissolve overnight in our lifetimes & it will be no surprise to the world if th e US goes the same way . Your choice & like the 15 new nations everyone will live to see another day . They could even put out a few top swim teams .

I can see 3- 4 just follwing the election results . JUST DO IT .
