Hello, my dear friend! I understand your friend in renouncing US citizenship, even though I never have got one. I only had abandoned US Green Card, and have absolutely no problem with that. I am Russian citizen just because I was born in Moscow in 1966. Since I have an experience living in the US for 10 years, I can tell you it is definitely not the country of dreams as many people think it is. And I respect his point that the US and other Western countries are going wrong direction. As Orthodox Christian I understand his will to live in the country supporting Christian traditions, family, children. Also his Serbian citizenship is a good choice also, since looking back in history we can see that neither Serbian people, nor Serbian government were struggling with Russia, these two nations are very close in language and nationality. Serbian people still remember times of World War I, when Russian Empiral Nicolas II stood up to support them, while being not completely mobilized for the war. No other Slavic nation is so friendly to Russia then Serbs. Even Bulgaria, who got an independence as a result of Russian victory in the 1877-1878 war against Turkey, after that several times were in opposite side in combat with Russians. Government, not people. But Serbian government never went against Russians, even today, when the EU applies a lot of pressure on it, they reject any claims to join Western sanctions.

I feel like I am in a RUT, I want to escape as well and the more I watch the more I know this is where I should be. Taking that step is easy to say and many do say it, but I wonder how many of them follow it up with action. I have to consider exactly what I will live on, what I have to offer the country and all of these are not easy. That said, excellent content as always but now it does leave me wanting to ask a simple question. When I saw your river boat with Sasha, I thought "Gee she is such a small girl", then I watched her with her family and they are all the same size. Now I see you with a few men and they are about the same size as Sasha and family, So'ooo, just how tall are you, if you do not mind sharing that info?

Who is complete God? The Holy Bible gives the answer to this question. Let's find out. Iyov 36:5 - Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB) See, El is Kabir, and despiseth, not any; He is Kabir in ko’ach lev (strength of understanding). Translation: Supreme God is Kabir, but despises no one. He is Kabir, and firm in his purpose. In all Bible translations, the word Kabir has been translated as "Mighty" or "Great" whereas Kabir is the original name of Supreme God. Conclusion: This verse of the Bible proves that Kabir is Complete God. The one who worships God Kabir by taking initiation from the complete saint sent by him gets complete salvation. After attaining salvation that souls rest in peace in the eternal abode Satlok forever. The throne of God is in Satlok. God Kabir met Jesus and took his soul to Satlok. On their way, God Kabir made him see his ancestors David, Moses, Abraham, etc. in the Pitra Lokas. Then God took him to Satlok Allah Kabir in Holy Quran Sharif, Surat Furkani 25, verse no. 52-59 Verse 25:52:- Fala-Tutiyal-Kafiran-ve-Jahidhum-Bihi-Jihadan-Kabiran”, it is clearly written ‘Kabiran’ We can call it ‘Kabir’ or Kabira’ or ‘ Kabiran’ or ‘Khabira’ or ‘Khabiran. It is clear this is Kabira. The translators of the Quran interpret it as "do not obey the disbelievers, and strive against them with the Qur'an a great striving". However, Prophet Muhammad’s God is saying that Oh Prophet! Do not listen to the kafir (disbelievers, who instead of worshipping one God, worship other gods-goddesses and idols etc) because those people do not consider Kabir as the Supreme God. You may remain firm on the basis of the knowledge of the Quran given by me that, Kabir only is the Supreme God, and may struggle (Do Not Fight) i.e. remain rigid for Allah Kabir.

That is, you have to pay taxes in both countries. Therefore, some refuse, because they decided to live in another country and so that there would not be a huge burden on their family budget.

Those two cities Moscow and St Petersburg is where most of that nations wealth is consolidated so there is a different vibe there. The rest of the country is different as the old Russian saying goes once you visit other parts of Russia you realize that Moscow and Saint Petersburg isn't Russia. `It is a culture shock because the rest of the country's standard of living is lower, food is expensive even before the sanctions were put on. I am sorry but I think there is a degree of dishonesty being presented here my wife and kids were all born in Russia and have been living here in the US for 13 years. I have had them watch some of these video's and they are amused by them and simply say don't believe it , life there is not that good. The gentlemen being interviewed is correct that Russia is still a conservative country with Christian family values it is better than the west however there is plenty of examples of broken homes mostly due to alcoholism. If you want to see that side of Russia watch the KZread channel Vasa in the Hay he features the poor side of Russia.

You can just see it on google street view by jumping from 2012 to 2021 (the latest coverage in Yekaterinburg).

This is an opinion: conservative, holy DEFENSE-minded minds aren't drawn to Dubai to 'escape' taxation but would more wisely seek Russian citizenship instead of spreading themselves into 'lukewarm' placement status tossed about in foreign lands. Such a money-centered USA 'export' is not what Russia actually needs to continue it's reasonable taxation level; ideally that guest is paying taxes to Serbia not escaping taxation in Dubai gaming rings. It's true we are not free in the USA and Puerto Rico, but the early presidents never intended the USA to be as fiscally punitive, morally depraved and politically disgusting as it has become.

It has been getting worse and worse in Canada 🇨🇦 Justin Trudeau, the dictator tyrant of Canada, has passed a new Bill called C-63 on hate speech in Canada. As you know, Canada doesn't have the First Amendment rights or the Second Amendment rights to protect us Canadians from such a bill as the C--63. Here's an example of a hate speech law in Canada if a Canadian citizen misgendered a transgender not on purpose, but by accident, he or she can be charged for hate speech and recieved a hefty fine $ . If that same person continues to misgendered a transgender then that person can face jail time. When I think of all the negative comments coming from the Liberals in Canada about Russia and Russia's President Vladimir Putin, I am reminded that dictator Justin Trudeau is a commist Prime Minister who makes President Vladimir Putin sound like Mister Goody Two-Shoes in comparison. So, no, I don't want that beautiful Canadian Christian family to be forced to return to Canada and be subject to dictator Justin Trudeau's abuse of hating on the Christians ✝️ in Canada. Me, I am a single man nearing 60 with no kids to depend on me, so I am not worried about me. I'm just worried about my siblings and nieces and nephews and my great-niece and great-nephews. I also come from a large family like Arend and Anneesa family with ten in my family too. Both of my parents are gone now. Thank the almighty 🙏 God for that.
