Butterfly, you may be right to some extent but Russians certainly aren't flocking back to Russia these days. They are still flooding westward. And Americans and Westerners aren't seeking refuge in Russia so it seems as bad as the western world may be in your view, it's still the people's choice. You sound a bit like Mahathir Mohammed with his 24/7 anti-western rhetoric. By the way, you are a bit like Boonme's evil commie twin.
