Article says they were Canadian.

But even still, I love this quote:

"Despite criticism, he asserted: "We are perfectly happy here, we're not planning on leaving here, we're not stuck here, we're not hostages."

Ah yes. What a perfectly sane rational thing to say, for someone who clearly isn't a being subject to surveilence and orders under threat of violence.

I can't even count how many times I'll call my mom, and reassure her that living in Ohio, I'm not a hostage.

Lol of course they don’t learn the language first before moving. Also Arend Feenstra is a very Dutch name. So his parents or grandparents risked it all and moved from the Netherlands to Canada so they could farm with less restrictions (this is the number one reason why Dutch farmers leave for Canada). And then this dipshit of a son sells the farm and moves to Russia because he hates freedom. Hope his kids or grand kids follow the family tradition and flee Russia.

Most Americans in such a situation would wind up defying their ancestors in similar ways. A lot of families in the USA can trace their lineage back to people that fled religious persecution, racial injustice, famine, war, and tyrannical government. Migrating to a dictatorship that is currently drafting/conscripting their populace straight into a shooting war is a monstrous step back from all that.

Nevermind that the Russians have/had nuclear stockpiles aimed at our heads. And the USA has Russia targeted in return. Come to think of it, choosing to be down range of the US is not a good idea in general.

I can't stand all this oppression.

That's why I keep all my money in centralized bank accounts.

WTF they FROZE it? How could liberals do this?
