But could Christopher Walker play Putin?

My favorite things about Russia are the lack of smoking laws and light prison sentences.

What I dislike about Russia is the denial of freedom to speak against the government if you're anyone of note.

I can picture him being an AWESOME Putin for some odd reason.

I like Russian history, it's fascinating.

I like how they troll the entire planet and get away with it.

"Hey, we think these guys we set loose in the Indian Ocean...yeah...they kinda died. Soz..."

"Hey, BP, you should nuke that oil spill. It'd be awesome, d00d."

"Hey, guys, you know we have a really cool robot thing thats like SkyNet from that movie with that Austrian guy who blows up the world with America's nukes. We made it after saw we Dr. Strangelove and thought 'We could do better than that', so we did. Soz."

etc. etc.

Switzerland remains neutral in just about every conflict. I'm not a big fan of Switzerland because of this. I don't really know much about Ireland.. :unsure:

Austria is also an officially neutral country since the Austrian State Treaty reuniting the country forced Austria to remain neutral. But everyone forgets about Austria...

Russia is win.

I like their ushanka hats, progress towards democracy and oil and gas they sell us. I don't like almost everything else... their history is rather amusing, if you have a black sense of humour of course.

I actually dislike the way the architecture is there.

I like that they are becoming more capitalistic
I like that our relations aren't that bad anymore(?)
Some Russian women are ridiculously hot

I dislike: the suppression of freedom of speech
High crime rates
Low life expectancy
Their meddling in countries we're trying to meddle in.

Likes: the Romanovs, the Imperial anthem, Siberian taiga and tundra.

Dislikes: Every Russian president (with the exception of Jelzin and Gorbachev). Especially Putin and Medvedev. the KGB. Soviet Anthem. Russian demeanours (especially the rich, Russian elite).
