  1. Putin has 80%+ popularity rating in Russia and what about Trudeau, Biden, Sunak, Macron? Putin came to power when Russia was a failed state and turned it into a superpower and you have “liberal democracies” in the West and in the past 30 years only millionaires and billionaires have been done super well.

  2.  @Noob-ng1of  No, neocons will just move on to Taiwan and turn it into the next Ukraine.

  3. Putin had a Q and A session recently for 4 hours(!) where he was answering questions of regular Russian citizens as well as foreign "journalists" like the New York Times. And the questions were not like "What's your favorite color?" Can you imagine Trudeau or Biden answering questions from regular citizens never mind journalists from Iraq, Iran, Russia, and Venezuela? That would never happen. Any time those clowns open their mouths, they talk about white supremacy, racism, misinformation, disinformation, Russian or Chinese "aggression" or how much they care about democracy, they never talk about poverty, income disparity, free education, or massive infrastructure projects that would create jobs.

  4.  @wellbi  GINI coefficient? WTF is that? WGAF? The US has $33 trillion in federal debt and $26 GDP which makes it more than 120% debt to GDP ratio. That's like owning $100k and debt while having $60k income which means you will never get out. By the way, Canada has about 80% debt to DGP ratio and Russia has about 8%. The only reason the US can have so much debt is because the US dollar is the reserve currency of the world and they can print money out of thin air but not for long. BRICS will have Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kazakhstan, and Venezuela joining them soon and will trade oil in other countries than the US dollar which spells the doom for petro-dollar and the US dollar having reserve currency status. The chickens are coming home to roost, the US made the biggest mistake trying to mess with Russia and with China. The reason they tried to mess with Russia was because they saw the writing on the wall. The US dollar was going to lose its status regardless but Genocide Joe just sped up the process. So the US dollar will be Canadian Tire money and the same thing will happen to the Canadian dollar too. As far as those "Western democracies," the only reason Europe had a competitive economy is because of cheap Russian commodities: oil, gas, wheat etc. And now that the US and Norway blew up the Nordstream gas pipeline, Germany and other EU countries have to import LNG at 5x the price of the Russian gas. The US destroyed Europe and now Russia don't have to deal with those US puppet states anymore, they diversified their markets to Asian countries especially China which can take all the gas and oil Russia could produce. So all those Western "democracies" screwed themselves over and are going down the toilet and good riddance!

  5.  @tylerclayton6081  "$68,000 Median income." Yeah, if you take Jeff Bezos and combine his income with the income of a homeless guy and divide it by 2, your median income would be a few hundred million dollars. Most people in China don't make as much money as in the US, again you need to look at PPE, but most young people have houses most young Americans live in their parent's basements because they can't afford to buy houses. So what does it matter? And the money in their bank accounts are zeros and ones. Look at the subway stations in Moscow and in New York, subway stations look like museums and subway stations in New York look like an open sewer. China has 50k miles of high-speed rail and Canada and the US have none.
