I had a quarrel over a beer with a group of Brasilian friends trying to explain them that being anti-american (which I am) is not even close the same as being pro-Russia. I'm afraid I didn't manage to persuade anything to anyone. They are sure that Europe is US colony where CIA did the same things like they did in Latin America and at best it's just a crash between two colonial powers. At best. Cause most of them think Russia brings de-colonization from US . Madness. I totally failed in this discussion
