What we are is Americans who intentionally left behind the insanity of Europe to start a new and better lifestyle. If you don't like the United States then by all means go the hell back to Russia. This video is absolute proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the cold war is not over, and just because you pull down a wall, does not mean that the cockroaches have gone away!!!!
