Russia's a backward poverty-stricken state where you don't open your mouth or complain, because you'll end up in the Gulag.

Russia imports cars from China and doesn't make any airliners that are sold in the West, and in addition it has the worst aviation safety record on the planet. You'll never read about them on the internet, or in your local rag though.

I do enjoy my life, I'm currently building another house, just squandering money doesn't do much for me.

"Having adult conversations.."

You mean like goldbugs waffling on here for decades about how they're going to get rich, paper money will be worthless, World War 3, gold US$30,000,
hyperinflation, deflation, stock market crashes, and all manner of other global emergencies? And not forgetting all those posts about running out of gold and how it's going to 'moon'.

You can read about them here any day of the week.
