Russia: Rainbow Flag Illegal

USA: Rainbow Flag Illegal

So what's the difference anymore.

Russia has a capable (if thoroughly evil) leader?

It’s the same leader

Mmm, I'd say Ukraine makes that not the case. The capable part, not the evil part.

Maybe. I think Putin's main concern with Ukraine was preventing them from selling natural gas from the Donbas region to Western Europe and undercutting his main source of revenue, and he's achieved that even if he didn't successfully overrun the whole country.

The US also has a very capable leader. As you can see with President Putin's implementation of his controversial policies in the US.

Oh you mentioned some orange old man hanging out in DC? Oh that's just the court jester.
