[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not even that he praised Moscow--there are a lot of beautiful places around the world and it's quite conceivable some are in Russia--it's just odd to be praising Russia so excessively ("so much nicer than any city in my country") at this time in history.

Moscow is really nice - if you have been there is it truly the reverse of “paris syndrome”

But it is nice because it drains so much capital (human, financial, etc) from a continental sized country

as much as Americans complain about big cities sucking up all capital and young peeps and talent from flyover country, it is nothing like the scale of Moscow vs rest of Russia

I agree with this.  I lived in Moscow for a while decades ago and I do think it is a beautiful city and the metro is amazing.  I think one thing Tucker liked about it is that you don’t see homeless people or drug addicts — that’s what he means by clean.  But that’s a direct result of a totalitarian government.  Tucker is willing to trade freedoms for not having to look at poor people.  It reminds me of when Trump was praising the Dubai airport during one of thd campaigns and criticizing U.S. airports.  I’m sure the Dubai airport is nice.  But it’s the direct result of a political and economic system that I find pretty abhorrent.  There’s a lot of things that can be accomplished if you’re willing to have a very economically stratified country with few rights for the majority.  These folks would have loved the court of Louis Xvi, too.  [/quote]
