    Can one have a signature on this forum? I can't seem to find an option for it.

    Hi,

    I'm new here too, but welcome!

    It's always great to get the views from outside the USA.

    Some of us prefer standard, American :flagus: :salute: spelling.

    Do you have an opinion on :flagcanada:?
    Beyond the usual laissez faire of most.

    Across an immense, unguarded, ethereal border, Canadians, cool and unsympathetic,
    regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.

    Some deplorable people with an 8th grade mentality don't like immigrants, and may try to insult you and embarrass the rest of us. Usually they crawl back into their holes after a while. Welcome aboard. I look forward to learning about Russian politics, etc.

    That's an interesting moniker and a beautiful avatar. Looks like a spiral galaxy in a green galactic universe.

    "It says" that you joined back in 2015. So you can't be THAT new ?!

    Things you should know --

    - We have far right, far left, middle right, middle left, middle middle, GOP, DEMs, Unaffiliated's (usually called Independents but that name has been grabbed by one of the minor parties too).

    - We have paid shill wacko's and unpaid shill wacko's.

    Generally whenever I see a new account without an avatar I put it on iggy right away. This way I avoid a lot of spammers and strokes and trolls.

    Waste of time and space.

    I have disabled them all anyway.

    I only care about moniker and avatar and content.

    A vortex as a model (scientific theory) makes more sense than a flat cookie since a vortex is 3 dimensional.

    Were your parents Ukrainians living in Ukraine or Russians invaders living in Ukraine? Or did they come here as religious refugees such as Refuseniks? My parents came from Ukraine via Germany where the Germans held them in forced labor camps, l you are a decent human being and not pro-Russian then you are welcome.

    Welcome! If folks are a bit quiet around you, its because when any american talks to any russian (or anyone the left can pretend is russian), they're 'colluding with Putin.' So dont take it personally :)
