Look again. Russia is a 2nd most popular immigration destination worldwide, right after the US. US is progressively getting impossible to live in. Russia is much better.

By percentage of population Russia is way down the list. But the real story is that Russia is third on the emigrant list. As many people flee Russia as go there. Russia's net immigration is zero.

Where is Russia 3rd on the emigration list? This never happened. Show me? Neither US, nor rich Western European countries, are even allowing immigration out of Russia.

Andrei Moutchkine + 828 February 16, 2022 On 2/12/2022 at 12:11 AM, Eric Gagen said: There's definitely better anti-tank weapons than the Javelin, but it's practically ideal for a force that is short on organization, and heavy equipment that is going to be fighting as an insurgency, for the following reasons: . They are small enough to be reasonably carried by one person (although heavy), and because they are short, they can be hidden a lot of places a larger launcher can't They use a 'soft launch' 2 stage propellant that has no backblast area - that means they can be used from inside of small hidden space,or while lying down. After launch they are self guiding (heat seeking) so the person who shot it can immediately take cover, or start running away They have integrated night vision sights so you can attack in the dark It utilizes a 'popup' attack where the penetration and detonation comes from above. This means not only that it can attack a lot of different types of vehicles, but it's also really effective at blowing up buildings, since they tend to respond very poorly from explosions that come from the top, but underneath the roof. It can also do direct fire if that is desired. All in all, if you have a poorly armed, poorly organized resistance, they are pretty much perfect if you have a little time ahead of time to train people how to use them. You can hide in the woods somewhere, wait til after dark, aim, shoot and run, with a reasonable expectation that whatever they pointed at will have a bad day, and a fairly low risk of getting caught if used correctly. The idea isn't that this will be some wonder weapon that will stop a Russian invasion in it's tracks - it's that it will enable an effective resistance that makes any invasion and occupation very expensive in lives and equipment. They could've bought something like 60 domestic anti-tank weapons for the price of one Javelin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who arguably don't know what they are missing. Russia is being presented as if it was Mordor in Western press, which is the opposite of truth. What I will agree with you on is that very few Americans ever venture out of America and few even hold a passport to do so and of those only a percentage ever use it! This I think is why many Americans have a distorted view of the world and other countries, as all they have to make their own judgement is MSM which is utter crap. Well travelled people have a much better / rounded view of other cultures and other countries and changes their perception accordingly. This is probably why US foreign policy is so bad and has been for decades. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Russia and Russian people are the same as most other countries in my experience. They are willing to work hard to better themselves and make sure their families are looked after. In the UK the "couch culture" of never working a day in your life and expecting the state (or in reality tax payers) to provide everything for them is the biggest cancer in our country and has been for 2 decades or more. These people should be forced to do jobs like litter picking and such like and contribute to society, instead they sit on their fat arses watching Netflix.

nsdp + 449 eh February 16, 2022 This is a weapon the US has had complete and ready to use since 2007. Destruction by Cyberattack https://securethegrid.com/destruction-by-cyberattack/ The advantage is no one has to leave their office to execute it, there is no warning , it can auto execute unless the timer is reset and we can give the Ukraine the keys to the European Net and let them blackout Russia. Russia./Belorussia will be without electric power. natural gas, oil, water or waste treatment for about 11 days minimum. Lots of other damage we can do in the meantime. Tanks planes, troops , missiles, satellites, submarines and warships, are all useless and the Russian people are already hostages even if Put=Put isn't smart enough to know it. . Put=Putt has two choices just like Emperor Hirohito. Surrender or national suicide. This plan has been ready for 15 years and doesn't destroy any nation except the target. So MAD isn't a factor. . Tested many times. We have stored the spare transformers and OCB's necessary to restore basic service in 2013. You better hope Put=Put pulls his head out of rectal defilade.
