(This is Russians own data lmao)

My partner here is an embryologist so I have had many a discussion about the data. HIV too.

I sense smoke screen

National guard would likely beat wagner due to numbers even if wagner is a lot better at fighting but we will see

In the end, people believe what they want to believe..

As demonstrated by your refusal to accept hard evidence in favor of personal experience.

So are you saying Russians are lying about their alcoholism and mortality rate?

lying about their alcoholism?

Are you claiming that Russia is lying about their own alcoholism and mortality rate?

That seems like a pretty straightforward question.

nope.
I am waiting for you to present the data.

You want me to discuss the data set you have yet to supply? don't be that guy.

Here's a very to the point study carried out by Russians in Russia, that compiles data collected by Russians for decades on the topic.

classy

I moved here last December. I am English. I moved from the UK although I have lived in Italy, Mexico, Germany, Ukraine, and Panama as well. The stereo types we have been fed about Russia are hilarious but just don't hold up.

But you carry on.

I lived nearly 8 years in Russia, in the real Russia! I lived a year in the Smolensk oblast in a town of 30k people and lived the rest in Ivanovo Oblast close to the capital. I spend a lot of time in Nizhny Novgorod and in Yaroslawl. Visited Astrakhan may times and also Murmansk. Moscow and Pieter I dont have to mention deeper as it should be clear that ive been there as well many times.

I was a guest lecturer at different Universities and hold classes for freshman as well as for senior classes (no, im not a prof, im in private business specialized in logistics/supply chain for big manufacturing plants).

Moreover, I speak Russian (studied st Uni) to a degree that I went there to watch local movies in the cinema, listened russian radio, had friend groups of only Russians, went to their dacha with them, went camping, sang songs, had great druzhba, love, everything.

And I can tell with all the love I have for the country and the people - most stereotypes are absolutely real and for most parts it was even worse than I expected it to be.

I dont know where you are but I guess either Moscow or Pieter and as you speak no russian you have only access to the educated ones who are mostly also having a more open and tolerant view, and better life in general, and therefore you have no clue what the real russia and real russian people are.

If I have a box full of apples that I have already bought and paid for, and I then say I’ll give you $5 worth.

Did you read the article? Again,
"As a result, the department now has additional money in its coffers to use to support Ukraine as it pursues its counteroffensive against Russia."

In the very least it seems like there are columns on move.

This could all be a huge deal, or it could all be nipped in the bud by morning.
I mean Prigo is a madman, but he had to have seen something like this coming

Distribution of wealth is a bitch. GDP is not the best indicator

GDP definitivelly is the best indicator for general economic activity.

What I can tell you is this. I can't speak for all of the EU. But as I lived in Italy for 4 years I have a lot of colleagues there and I moved from the UK to Russia last December. So I can share what I have witnessed first hand and through colleagues in Italy who have relayed to me the impact there. No MSM and no echo champers on the internet.

And there are tons of Americans that move to Mexico, that doesn't means Mexico is better off economically than US that's a stupid comparison.

and now Finland is in NATO as a result of this, which is closer to St Petersburg than Ukraine is to Moscow.

Finland was never part of the USSR now, was it? It was part of the Russia Empire from 1809 to 1917.

It has no history with Russia.

Finland has quite a history with Russia
