I am sick, and so tired. I am done with the geological warfare my heritage and this country have been losing throughout history. There has never been a true Democracy in Russia. When the US brought Democrat Yeltsin in, he trashed the economy. 9 year old prostitutes. Hunger everywhere But the USSR the country romanticizes was better for the blind, and those who spoke out went to hell. How is that much better? The amount of death from WWII is still seen, the most people were lost in the Soviet Bloc, but no one cared, even the government. Have you seen the male suicide rate? The men are depressed and dying and it MAKES SENSE. The hazing in the military....the horror of it people don't know. There's no concept of mental health so sucks to be you veterans! /s Gosh I hate it. What about the domestic violence? Women can be beaten + killed and no action is taken. Men too. Add the country's huge alcoholism problem and you'll see how bad domestic violence can get. They even legalized parts of it. And if you are gay you are better off dead for most people/parents. Knowledge is bad, tolerance is low, and if you're in Chechnya you're screwed. Even the building codes are crap, I bet many of the buildings will collapse, they flake off so easily, and the blasted Orthodox church is trying to end education for girls. What about the minorities? They'll be hit by climate change. The permafrost is melting, the land will be gone, the gas/oil exposed but the land ruined for those who lived on it for generations, the CO2 emitted, the fires. The Siberia fires. The WILDFIRES in Siberia are the most pressing concern to this planet but does the government, the people, care? No. And they will die of the pollution havocked. I see no future, and most people do not either. But Putin continues on his bravado. In 2014 Russia attacked Crimea right after the Olympics. They'll do the same thing right after Beijing. And the athletes, often underfunded, abused and competing beyond their limit, will take a hit in the press. Bravo. I am not looking forward to it.

I think Russia will be going to war after the Olympics..and I am done.
