[[Western World|Westerners]] falling for Russian [[propaganda]] and choosing to be ardent Russia lovers is like a guy being seduced by a corrupt 300-pound woman. If I were to pick a country outside the USA to very much like/love, I would pick [[Singapore]] over Russia any day of the week. Singapore is a much more attractive country than Russia and definitely not a corrupt 300 pound woman of a country (As far as Singapore, given the influence of its prior British governance, it is one of the most Westernized countries in Asia.<ref>[https://culturalatlas.sbs.com.au/singaporean-culture/singaporean-culture-core-concepts Singapore culture]</ref> See also: [[Essay: Why has the West been so successful?|Why has the West been so successful?]]). And I have several reasons why I am not bullish on Russia's future (See: [[Essay: Why I am not bullish on Russia's future|Why I am not bullish on Russia's future]]).

I will also point out that Singaporeans aren't known for engaging in horrific war crimes, but the Russians are (See: [[Essay: Russian war crimes in Ukraine|Russian war crimes in Ukraine]]).

Attention Westerners falling for Russian propaganda: It's very clear that Singapore is a much better country to live in than Russia, but go ahead and continue to embrace your corrupt 300-pound woman like country. I just hope your arms are long enough to embrace Mother Russia! A [[polka]] song lyric comes to mind: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ2U0boOucY&list=PLUvJPdHqYYiGmKazBZ0wOC8QXLtjYssFv&index=2 "Oh, I don't want her you can have her. She's too fat for me."]
