    I think I don't need to give you any more examples. Living in USA is totally fine. But when living in Russia you need to think as the dictator, do as the dictator says, never criticise the dictator etc. No civil rights.

    I meant that they're both stubborn, single-minded individuals. One is incapable of thinking outside the box and the other has no desire to.

    As far as living in the U.S., being a U.S. Citizen, yea I have no major complaints as far as my personal liberty and rights go, but that doesn't preclude the fact that I'm not content with the present administration's handling of international affairs, war included.

    It wasn't my intent to compare Russia to the U.S. For reasons you stated, their is no comparison.
