Russian Nationalism

Russians do nationalism brilliantly, which may account in large part for the antagonism that Russia evokes among Western leaders.

Were Trump to attempt a show like Russia's Victory Day celebration, the streets of Washington DC would be filled with mobs of pussy-hat wearers for impeachment now, anti-Second Amendment gun controllers, and a rabble of Black Lives Matterers.

In London Thereason May would be beset by Remoaners demanding a second referendum, while in Paris, France's little President Micron would face loud contempt from Les Gilets Jaunes.

In appearance, at least, Russia is a lot sounder than any of the Western states.
