And what about the average income of a Russian employee or someone receiving old-age pension?

1.41 USD for a pack of noodles or a bottle of milk is quite a lot of money for the average employee with 7,500 USD ANNUALLY! Not to think about the monthly pension of 14,144 Rubles which doesn't even suffice the monthly ammo bill for a target shooter in the US or GER

Why are so many on the Uke side devoted to this whataboutism??

The argument has been put forth in favor of our support of Ukraine that Z, as the leader of their cause, is a freedom fighter. He is clearly not that; even the most vocal Uke devotees admit that.

The alternative to US support of Ukraine is not support of Russia it’s to mind our own business. The argument that Russia is this or that is a red herring.

The only question is whether Ukraine is of vital interest to a beleaguered and broke country. The clear answer is hell no.

Y’all constantly distract from that clear fact and give cover to those in our govt who are devoted to destroying this country.

Good work.
