Heh, I was just listening to one of my former profs talking on the radio the other day, about current American foreign policies, and he remarked that the current US-Russian relationship was, basically, "deceptive." xD;; Ah well, anyway, I think incorporating RL stuff into shipping in Hetalia can be fun but in the end it's just a silly gag manga, so yeah. ^^;;

(Btw, as for relationships, I'm in favor of "a good relationship is not necessarily a boring one." :D)
