@EdoTimmermans "russians are no longer as poor as they used to be" yeah, they went from starving to existing. too bad about the extreme alcoholism and an authoritarian government preventing anything beyond a lower-class living. Russia has little to no middle-class, and the fact that pretty much all of russia's federal funding and focus circulates on the same handful of cities on the western 5% of russia speaks volumes. At least i know for certain people in texas, alabama and mississipi got wifi, computers and some sort of governmental representation. You're right, the US does have a massive drug problem, but i was moreso referring to how Russians are killing themselves with drugs like Krokodil, meanwhile americans are busy legalizing marijuana. there is progress on the american front on dealing with drugs in a constructive manner. The worst part about your argumentation is that you're comparing the aggressively transparent studies, analysis and reporting from the states with the "hush hush" reporting of Russia, a country that doesnt even acknowledge the invasion of Ukraine as a "war", and then concluding that russia is better off. Short of just being intellectually dishonest, its dishonest and malicious. "As Russia seems to be so isolated in your mind, it would be good to inform yourself about the 'Brics nations" Okay, now i know you're huffing glue. -China is passively denouncing Russia's actions as their behaviours would set a dangeorus precedent when it comes to Taiwan. China does trade with russia, but russia does not profit from it, china does. -India's reason for being NEUTRAL during this whole debacle is because it fears russia would become too dependant on China, India's greatest rival. Seeing as how russia is cozying up with china, India might turn to the west for an alliance. -Brazil is a corrupt non-entity unable to get its shit straight. and even then, they are NEUTRAL. -South africa is on the verge of major enviromental disaster and its government might legit collapse. again, another NEUTRAL country whos shitty government might reach out for russia to recieve aid, not provide it. -Iran is on the verge of a revolution, but they are indeed aligned with russia, mostly out of convenience but still. same with egypt, though egypt is facing major problems as well. -Turkey has literally supplied Ukraine with weaponry. no idea what you are on about, Turkey is taking this as an opportunity to mess with russia. Turkey is also aligned with azerbaijan, whilst russia is aligned with armenia. There will absolutely not be an alliance between turkey and russia. -argentina and saudi arabia are in an uneasy neutral position. they are favorable towards russia, but whether they'll forge anything with russia depends on how the war goes. Germany and the UK got into bed with russia and got dependant on russsian gas, and they suffered for it, but only temporarily. its looking like a warm winter and both the UK and germany are going for electric heating, with powerplants being opened again. The rest of the EU was already minimally reliant on russian gas. gasoline is indeed a problem, but russia is not the only country with access to gasoline.

@Garbs741 british people arent responsible, but their nation is and they still reap the profits from the messes they created.

@EdoTimmermans What the fuck are you even on about? first off, your premise is complete horseshit and flies in the face of societal infrastructure and logistics, aka the things we as a society have built up collectively and use collectively so that we can focus our efforts on other things. A doctor is less equipped to survive Antarctica than the average eskimo, but maybe the doctor has more valuable skills. its how societies work, mate. There is a reason why Ukrainians can still use smartphones, get fastfood and utilize cheap chinese products despite being caught in a war, and thats because of a powerful advanced infrastructure similar to that of the rest of the western world. Russians being often poor, with lack of access to good education or good infrastructure doesnt make them "tougher and hardier" more than it does the Somalians. They arent tougher, they are more desperate, and are willing to do more desperate things. there is a reason crime and drug use is such a massive problem. secondly, the US sure as fuck wont collapse before Russia. at most, it will struggle, but the fact that americans despite political divisions are more united than russia shows this. The fact that Mexico and Canada are allied with the US whilst all of russia's neighbours are doing their best to oppose Russia speaks volumes. "sanctions dont do what they are supposed to" Except they do. Russia struggles to obtain vital components to build many of their weapons and vehicles. doesnt matter how much oil ya got if you cant fucking repair your tanks and guns.

@mathewvanostin7118 thats a ridiculous logic that ignores that the US also has fluctuating cost of living depending on area. The idea that americans cant eat food for below 10 dollars is a straight up fucking lie. there is a reason why russians move out of russia at the rapid rate that they do. The reality of russia outside of moscow is an almost feudal poverty that has yet to be properly rectified, and there is a reason why when you hear about russian population centers it usually falls on the same three or four. the entirety of russia has a smaller population than the US. that is not indicative of economic liberation, but rather the opposite.

because it colonized them centuries ago? its not particularly strange. "why does greenland belong to denmark" Because the vikings said so, and no one contested it.
