“Russia is a gas station with nukes. A third-world s*hole. Crude was $50 when Brandon was sworn in, near $90 today. If you really want to keep Putin in check, DRILL BABY DRILL”
I certainly agree with Drill Baby Drill and with the criticism of Biden.
In terms of Russia being 3rd world, I have never been there. But I have looked on Google Maps at random locations in Russia and the street view photographs generally look a lot better than I would have been led to believe. Other Freepers might want to try that and see what they think.
That is somewhat true. The average yearly income in Russia one quarter the US, and Commie China is about one-fifth. So as consumer economies -- including housing, energy and food -- they are not measuring up yet.
Something else is also true. All the countries of the world have gorgeous natural gifts. Scenery and natural wonders. And from the 12 nations i have worked, some very nice people, alongside the assholes. It is the governments that screw things up. Biden's is doing well in screwing things up bigly.
