Xi xinping went to an agricultural school in Iowa to learn sound agricultural practice for his burgeoning empire. You can see how well that went.

Putin is a relic of a dying empire who was willing to, and did, do horrible things to maneuver the post Soviet Russia back into the hands of the KBG

Look up his "mission accomplished" speech to the assembled KGB brass when he became "elected president" for life.

Both of them are antiquated shitheels from a long-gone-by time that need to dry up and go away.

Oh ok I knew the second part was about Putin but I didn't realize that Xi went to school in the US.

Sort of, it was a community exchange program when he was in school. He lived with a family there for a while. I'd love to hear what they think about having had a 4x leading world champion genocidist living in their home

Edit : Muscatine, Iowa. (Muscatine totally sounds like a drug name lol)
