recently, russia placed a shit ton of sanctions upon the world
and my mom took this as the greatest news since me getting laid
she believes the news 100% and wishes death to america
what do I do
[highlight](User was banned for this post ("Dumb thread / Not a fast thread" - Jaanus))[/highlight]
Tell her that she is deluded for her support of a corrupt oligarchy and that the sanctions will only end up hurting Russia.
Hang the American flag in your room, and put a lot of country posters everywhere, alongside a framed dollar bill. Put some red scare propaganda posters up, and play the American anthem. Decorate your whole room Americano-style.
Don't stop there. Get her friends to join in and have everyone decorate their house in the most patriotic style with flags, etc. Hire an eagle trainer and have the eagle perched in your room. Buy an american suit and salute the flag every morning. Buy a frame dprint of Barack Obama and hang it on your door. When she comes up and asks what's going on, salute her and say "are ya enjoyin this mum"
She thought you getting laid was equivalent to the international tensions between Russia and the US over the recent events in Ukraine?

A framed print of Angela Merkel and another of Donald Tusk might help too.

Get the drones on her

that's because her cousin built it for me
"built" being bought pre-built from a shop
it's good though
Your flag is throwing me off. If your mother is Finnish and holds that position.. well, I'd say to tell her she's fucking retarded, but that's slightly easier proposed than done

she's not Finnish, I'm Finnish because of my father.
she's from siberia
read her the definition of corruption

Well, I find if someone genuinely holds that position, they're gonna be very reluctant to accept or look at other views/evidence on the matter. Maybe just ignore it, and everytime she says something pro-Russian, run to the nearest fast food joint and start clapping. That'll make you feel better, and will also sneakily spite her at the same time
inform her that the cars you drive and the computers she owns along with her phones likely have American microprocessors, watch as she runs out into the cold, strips, screaming about how much she loves Russia, and jumps into a lake as you and your dad shed a single tear.
Is it possible to ignore her views on Russia or does she never shut up about Russia stronk?

she constantly bothers me about how russia is stronk and putin is the best

That would be when you enact stage 2:
Wake her up each morning with the preamble of the US constitution being read to her, from heart.
Hang up an american flag outside her window, or over the house in some ridiculously hard to reach place and stash anything that might be used to get to it at a friends house.
Leave pamphlets with pictures and quotes of, and about Ronald Reagan.

Did you try to explain your feelings to her?
[QUOTE=Svinnik;45620622]Did you try to explain your feelings to her?[/QUOTE]
of course I have, I've tried to explain to her how russia is slowly fucking itself over
but no, everything russia does is good for russia
putting sanctions, fucking over multiple countries is good for russia
and russia can do it because they did it to russia
Real talk.
You're not going to get through to her. Ever.
It's like my ALIENS-VISIT-EARTH, GAYS-R-DUMB mom.
When people refuse to even consider alternate viewpoints, it is because they can not handle being wrong. Anything that suggests it makes them feel insecure, disrespected, and threatened.
You still live with and depend on her, right? Stop pressing the issue, and just wait it out until you can leave. Leave Russia, hopefully. The rest of the world sucks too, but at least you'll get [i]some[/i] extra rights elsewhere. If you keep bothering her she'll come to resent you for it.

Maybe try to explain your personal feelings? For example, about her hatred of American products, explain to her that while it's her right to have an opinion about America but her burning your Razer mousepad and forbidding you to buy American products is going too far.
if you have russian propaganda channels, lock them
or explain your mom that russia is lying because of a massive corruption
Send her to Russian Karelia, she'll be happy there
Embrace the communism

I don't live in Russia.
I'll just get used to it, I'm stuck here for another 2 years before I'm free to leave.
