Better to play them, than to be them.

Russians are the ultimate bad guys in American movies. At least the crap I grew up on.

We love our British friends, who bore us in her image.

We forgive you for burning our capitol. Don't let it happen again.

And we love our American children, although you do confuse us sometimes...but let's face it, what parent has not been confused by their offspring at some point in their lives?

Russians are good bad guys, but for pure mustache twirling villainry, you can't go much better than the German accent.

Has to be a culture thing.

Although Russian and German languages both sound "angry" to a western ear.

The Russians wanted to nuke us, and us them.

The Germans tried to bend you over, but you shot then out of the sky, then got em back, thanks to some pals.

The Germans were diabolical, but the Russians had nukes!

No love lost, past is the past, I love my Russian and German friends.
(not like any nation is exempt from such behavior)

Red Dawn is the best unintentional comedy ever based on the cold war.

RIP Patrick Swayze.

(edit: I would love to see a Russian based movie, where we were the "jerks")
I bet it would be just as hilarious.

But in defense of the educrats, superintendent for the Conewago Valley School District Rebecca Harbaugh says they once put on a show celebrating freedom. I guess these will be the shows that we will see in the re-education camps.

If Middletons titmouse can rack up thousands of views surely this joke can build up to hundreds of replies
