Cultural exchanges with Russia a good idea

[renard_ruse]

We should have more cultural exchanges with Russia and foreign exchange programs.

The more young Americans who spend time in Russia and study there, live with a host family, etc, would help them bring home the truth they could share with their friends and families about today's Russia. This would provide Americans a more accurate picture than the lies, distortions and outdated stereotypes the media and the establishment are telling them.

I'd love to go actually. Don't want to spend the money and can't take the time off though.

Its interesting that with all this supposed globalization and the ability for people to interact with other people anywhere in the world at any time on the internet, people are more susceptible than ever to lies about other countries and cultures.

You would think today's young people especially would be more factually informed about the world and question what the media tells them about other countries. Many Americans actually think Russia is still Communist and a dictatorship. Its mind boggling this could be the case in 2017.

I was looking at a stupid ABC News article bashing Russia the other day, and interspersed throughout the article were old photos of the Soviet Union, Communist symbols, etc. How ignorant and moronic can Americans actually be? Apparently a lot.

If you were really about that life, instead of talking the talk, you'd make a way to actualize your convictions instead of making excuses for your lack.

How about taking visitors to Russia's organized soccer hooligan fights for starters...

CSKA Moscow vs. Zenit Saint Petersburg...

Zenit Saint Petersburg vs. Spartak Moscow...

And Russia is renowned for it's racism...

Who the fuck wants to visit a nation of bigoted slovenly drunkards anyway? Russia showed her true colors at last year's Euro 2016 soccer tournament where organized bands of hooligans rampaged through France. Worse than the English even, and that's saying something!

You don't see refugees or anyone else for that matter, wanting to move to your Mafia run shit-hole of a country. You traffic your gorgeous women to foreigners, and the rest are abused by their alcoholic swine husbands.

Fuck Russia long & hard. Nostrovia motherfucker.

I completely agree with this.

I feel similarly about Iran. I assume you do as well.

I am sure we would learn much from family exchanges with ISIS. Before you blow off that idea as ridiculous remember they are just people too.
