Surprises

Pleasantly surprised by Spain and unpleasantly not surprised by India.

    1. “Greece’s 32% a… what gives?”

      Greece doesn’t border russia, they’re both in the Orthodox tradition (though IIRC the Greek and russian branches sort of hate each other) and there used to be a lot of russian tourists in Greece. I don’t think it’s been a place where they park resources (like Cyprus) but if it benefits Cyprus Greeks like it since they tend to think of the two countries as one…

      “Mexico’s 34%… what gives?”

      russia markets itself as the opposite of the US so lots of Mexicans will support them just for that…. many years ago I had a Mexican roommate and he and his friends were supportive of Cuba and russia because of opposition to the US…. it is, as they say, what it is…
