"Unlike migrants in America who come there just like that, do not assimilate, and at the same time want free handouts.”

Ah, so he has learned the Russian language to a degree at least approaching fluency?

As has his wife?

And he has been teaching his kids Russian as well?

He does, after all, very seriously consider language as a fundamental element of a nation's culture:

[Regarding Huffman's stance on the Russo-Ukraine conflict, as of ~6 weeks ago]:

They took away their language and their religion from these inhabitants. They were oppressed, they tried to suppress their Russian culture. You can't do that. I believe that the residents of Donbass are full members of a large Russian family. To tell the truth, I can't fully understand what the Ukrainian government didn't like, but I think it was just harassing the residents of Donbass. President [of Russia Vladimir] Putin tries to protect those whom he sees as members of his family, his brothers.

Hey... wait a minute...

[From another part of the article]:

... - emphasized the interlocutor of the "First Russian".

No, of course he doesn't speaking any fucking Russian, he's a dumbass gun nut hyperconservative from Texas, he most likely can barely even speak English.

Ah you see, Americans who move abroad, no no, they aren't immigrants... they are ex-pats, which is a totally different thing guys, for real.

What a fucking idiot.

I feel bad for his soon to be orphaned kids.

And dog.

Not his at least equally stupid wife though.
