I moved to the UK with my Colombian/Italian wife, lol. As you may imagine they weren't too happy. My mother is convinced I'm selling drugs now and will definitely end up in jail. Oh yeah did I mention they don't believe homosexuals, drugs, and prostitution existed anywhere in the USSR? I don't know how prevalent that belief is among all Russians but it's completely bizarre

Okay. And 'servers hosted in the US" means what? What significant things do you think would be cut off by that?

And also you think that American culture isn't that important and saying so is ra-ra Americanism while also somehow thinking this would lead to people overthrowing their elected leader if it got cut off?

Something Awful, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, etc. I'm probably wrong, from the way you're putting it. Which again, I'll cede the point to. I'm open to being wrong on things. Wouldn't be the first time, and won't be the last.

It's not vital. It's important in the sense that I'd be pissed off if I were suddenly banned from having cable TV and had no option to replace it but the local public TV station who only cover boring poo poo like Prarie Home Companion... (That is sarcasm, btw.) I encounter a lot of Russians in online games. They would likely be angry if they couldn't play them anymore.

Overthrowing? No. Annoy them into electing someone else, or proving to them that such a thing is impossible through authoritarianism? That'd be my aim. It'd cause unrest hopefully at the very least.

For more context, this was drawn by Milo Manara. An artist known mostly for his erotic art. So basically Marvel hired a guy who does erotic comics and asked him to draw a cover and this was what they got. Rather than go "gee, maybe that's not the best choice," they just ran with it. Marvel are idiots.

And yet, Greg Horn is still somehow worse.

I assume they also want a "strong guy" to keep the country together. Post-Communism it was collapsing into lots of little states that hate each other. "Balkanization" is not good for peace. At least Putin keeps the area together, and keeps it relatively peaceful. A more moral leader might not be able to. Putin directs his people's frustration at external targets (like all good dictators) and that way keeps them from each others throats.

Doesn't mean that the USA should model themselves on him. The USA is in a pretty good spot. There's no (real) danger of Texans seceding and annexing Mexico. There's no need for a bully boy, despite the bullshit Trump is selling, telling the rubes they do need one (him.)

I don't want to Bully. I want a lesson to be learned. Personally I am fine if America would not fund NGOs if Russia shuts down all attempts to interfere with the west and spread nazism.

The contempt is because that same day Tapper was 'just asking questions' about whether Clinton visiting a black church was building bridges or just political shilling. As usual when reading someone's private correspondence, context can be hard.

You're supposed to just become president by having people vote for you naturally, not by going out and trying to get votes like some tryhard. Trying to get votes from people who weren't already voting for you is manipulation, which is the same as lying, which is bad, so both candidates are equally bad.

Okay, you seem open to discussion so I'll actually respond seriously this time:

This is a really bad idea because one of the reasons Russia has such strong support for Putin is that Putin's administration controls the media. Many, many people in dictatorial countries have used sites like Twitter to communicate with the outside world - see Iran in the last decade, for instance. That's why these countries work so hard to crack down on their citizens' access to a free and open internet. For you, the internet might just be a source of entertainment. That isn't true for everyone, and people have been trying to point out that your assumption is faulty and incredibly ignorant of the outside world. Further limiting the ability of these citizens to communicate through sites not owned and controlled by their government doesn't make things any better for them. For a lot of people, it makes them much worse.

I actually think you're mentally ill, which isn't an attack on you for being mentally ill, or a judgement of mental illness, but I'm concerned you might actually not be able to understand the contexts in which discussions here are happening. I'm not sure how you expect people to respond to you, but you should understand: whatever it is you think you're communicating, we're not getting. And whatever you think we're communicating, we're not putting out. There is a disconnect between your perceptions and what is actually being said, and that's why people are piling on you.
