Russia Requires Apple and Google to Remove LinkedIn from Local App Stores

I grew up in the US and lived in Moscow for 6 months. The people aren't different -- just like Americans, most people are focused on jobs, paying rent, friends, their kids, dinner, lovers, TV, etc. They mostly don't pay much attention to what their/our government is really doing.

The primary use of America for Russia and Russia/Muslims for America is to have some Other to point the finger at and blame for the outcomes of the ruling class' economic policies.

ps -- For every pro-Putin Gopnik voter, I counter with southern white trash on Obamacare, Medicare payments for "disability", and meth who voted for President (I just threw up in my mouth a little) Trump.

Well, let's not under play the fact that Russia was and still is a resource rich country that everyone would love to have a piece of. At home and abroad. If you are interested - track down the story behind aluminum and diamond trade in the post USSR era. Very fascinating and reflects the general trend in the country.
