What do you think?
Tell us below your opinion on Moscow vs Washington DC.
I am an American – a citizen of the USA. The first time I was in the nation’s capitol, I was very disappointed. The bland white buildings and the gravel on the Mall did not seem appropriate for the capitol of the most powerful country on Earth.
I would add to Moscow that “Moscow never sleeps”, even this song is.
Russia is Comunist, therefore it’s capitol is. USA is capitalist, therefore so is its capitol. USA happens to be wealthier than Russia, so its capitol would be better. comunissim isn’t the best conditions for its people.
Where did you find this rubbish that Russia is still communist, so you want to tell me Mexico is better than China because Mexico is a democracy?🤣🤣🤣🤣
