    Isn’t the “motherland” just “homeland” in concept? IE the birth/home country of origin that you have? I was under the impression that members of the USSR all considered their “motherland” to be different countries within the ussr.

    Has this dumbass done a single ounce of thought on whether his own country would expect him to die for his own “motherland” ? Almost certainly an american, and almost certainly would be drafted if a war required it.

      Yes but it’s Russian so it’s different. Sorta like how Russians don’t have rich people that own everything instead they have oligarchs.

          It’s more democratic because we changed the rules to stop a popular president from being able to stay in office even if the people want them to. Now, please choose between Hitler and Orange Hitler; it’s the most important election of our lifetime!

            Americans foaming at the mouth when Bad Country elects a popular leader for the third time in a row, because obviously term limits are not merely constitutional but natural law. Unless you’re a congressional rep or a senator. Or a judge.
