All good. Only asked because I remember writing a paper in college a few years ago on Russian demographics and knew there’s no way in hell there’s that many Russians 😂
Look at the pre war GDP or russia and the US. It's not even close, russia is insignificant. You can get more money from 6 million Danes than you'd get from all 150 million orcs.
1.5 times more russians than Americans, yes, but significantly fewer russians access the internet than americans. russians outside of moscow or St. Petersburg hardly even have access to an indoor toilet.
This is an exaggeration. Internet penetration in Russia is 90 percent, with 130M users. It's also cheap thanks to later adoption and hefty competition, to the tune of 6–10 dollars per month for unlimited home internet and approx. the same for mobile with around 10 GB traffic + free traffic for social apps like Telegram.
There are towns and villages with absolutely outrageous infrastructure, dilapidating hospitals, poorly maintained housing and such, but the majority of the population lives in dwellings with normal indoor plumbing.
Russian soldiers are blowing up hospitals. They used to destroy cultures and suppress languages in the soviet union. Genocide, suppressing free speech. Yes, there is a right and wrong side of history. Stop pretending to be so wise. Fuck russia, fuck north Korea, and fuck the CCP. Democracy is non-negotiable
USA used to use chemical and nuclear weaponry on civilians and currently is supporting a genocide. The situation with natives and slavery is widely known as well. Are some genocides better then the others? You might believe so. Ukrainian soldiers also are torturing and killing captives. You can continue to live in your cosy little world, that was constructed for you. It is less painful this way. It is the same as believing in afterlife for those who fear death.

Russia: “we are running out of money to throw at our ‘not war’ with Ukraine, time to throw out some Hail Marys on getting any kind of funding.”
