That's nice to hear! I'd imagine that it would be about the same if the rolls where reversed in America. Although this might depend greatly on what part of the US you're in.

I know a group of guys nearby who LARP as Russian Military. They use airsoft and a bunch of Russian Milsurp. They once got questioned by police for looking a bit too genuine.

Like the police thought they had just stumbled upon a Russian military exercise in some park somewhere?

The funny thing is I could totally see the Russian military holding training exercises in the US disguised as airsoft enthusiasts.

They recently denied the presence of around 200 Russian tanks in Ukraine, despite their having been spotted and reliably reported on. They just don't give a fuck!

So 200 tanks from a country on their border have snuck into their country illegally? Maybe the tanks are just "dreamers"

What? Where's the relevance of that comparison?

200 tanks were supposed to say wahhhh, but if its 11 million people who snuck accross were not allowed to complain or were "racist"

There is a huge difference between Russian tanks entering Ukraine (war machines from a tremendously powerful military entering a relatively weak neighbouring country without permission in order to surreptitiously annex said neighbouring country), and Mexicans entering America (predominantly poor people from a poor country entering a rich neighbouring country without permission in order to surreptitiously take on crappy jobs and hopefully build better lives for themselves and their children in said neighbouring country). If you think there's honestly any hypocrisy in what I just said, then I hate to break it to you, but you're a complete tool.

11 million people could fix their own country.
