Well, the band name is just a stupid thing. We used to LIVE in Russia and our friend there, a RUSSIAN LADY just KIND of described my sister as a clean bandit.

Edward Snowden copied and leaked information from inside the world's most protected spy AGENCY, and then fled to RUSSIA, but yet, because a small part of the DATA he expropriated was provided to a news organisation, journalism conventions readily accord him lone whistleblower STATUS.

The fact that the Clinton campaign and the DNC PAID intelligence officials in RUSSIA for salacious and false information on President TRUMP is suspicious ENOUGH.

I think that Russia was LIKE a lot of other countries, a lot of empires, in being a TYRANNY up until the early 20th CENTURY. Then Russia had something that no other country has had, which is the longest TOTALITARIAN experiment in history.

And I love the hate mail I get, the unsigned, misspelled letters I get TELLING me to GO BACK to RUSSIA or WHEREVER.

Everything in Russia is MADE of cement - phone booths, FENCE posts and LIGHT bulbs.

I WOULD LOVE to fight Fedor Emelianenko in RUSSIA, maybe we can MAKE that HAPPEN.

I grew up watching Indian MOVIES as a kid in RUSSIA. I am QUITE familiar with Bollywood.

The UNITED STATES must look BEYOND Mr. Putin. His regime may appear imposing, but it is rotting INSIDE. His Russia is not a great power on par with AMERICA. It is a gas station run by a corrupt, autocratic regime.

Sometimes I hear, PARTICULARLY from Russia, that we SIMPLY hate Russia and don't like to co-operate, that we are hysterical about the RISKS. But this is totally UNTRUE. We would greatly BENEFIT economically if our neighbour was a democratic, developing country.

I been in Russia, GERMANY, Denmark, Switzerland, LONDON. I'm all over the place being LOUD.

Russia's a SMALL country. It's really POOR. It has NOTHING other than OIL and weapons SALES.

I do a very GOOD impersonation of an AMERICAN - I went to high SCHOOL here - but I've SPENT most of my life in Russia.

Americans voted for Trump. A lot of people in this country feel the SYSTEM of representative DEMOCRACY hasn't worked for them for a long, long time. And those are the issues that this ELECTION gives us an unfortunate opportunity to engage with. And engaging INSTEAD with the RUSSIA conspiracy takes up that bandwidth.
