On my last visit to Moscow several years ago, a drunken cabdriver from a distant province drove me through the city, nearly weeping because, he said, he was unable to feed his family. “I want to emigrate to the States,” he said. “I can’t live like this.”
“You should try Canada,” I suggested to him. “Their immigration policies are very generous.”
He mock-spit on the floor, as he nearly careened into the sidewalk. “Canada? Never! I could only live in a superpower!”
Watched a lengthy interview with President Putin on abc news earlier. Am still laughing at the alleged retort to Sleepy Joe.
Biden went into his face looked in eyes and allegedly said to Vladimirovich I don’t see a soul in there. Vlad smiled wryly and says- we finally understand each other !
