“Korea is the best outcome”.
How is that working out?
The dumbest line about the Special Military Operation in the Ukraine, quacked by a Re-Animator...
Peace would also be established upon Ukraine’s surrender.
4.3 million people immigrated to Russia in 2021.
That's roughly the average number of immigrants per year for the last 10 years.
Did you just make up that number? The official Russian statistics report only 6 million total foreign residents, which includes some 4 million migrant workers from Central Asia, and annual immigration of only 200,000, mostly from other former Soviet countries. Russia is not a top immigration destination.
Thanks to UMCRevMom for posting this.
We don’t know what the truth is out there. But we know that Biden and a lot of politicians have not been telling the truth, while they give away money by the pallet load.
“Obviously Russia considers this war as existential to their survival as a country...”
Oh, bull crap. Ukraine posed no existential threat to Russia whatsoever. However, Russia DOES pose an existential threat to Ukraine.
“...and there’s no question they will ultimately win this thing.”
Quite possibly. But, if they win the war, they will lose the peace.
“4.3 million people immigrated to Russia in 2021.”
You’re a liar.
For your reading pleasure:
Immigration is WITHIN the Russian Federation (i.e., between members of the Russian Federation), rather than immigration TO the Russian Federation.
The international media cabal keeps telling me Putin’s army is just about finished. So I know Russia must be kicking ass
According to Statista, immigration to Russia has been over 4 million a year since 2012. Also, immigration has been greater than emmigration for a net gain of 2.25 million since 2012.

That would be a Carthaginian peace.
You misread the table. Those numbers were for the aggregate number of immigrants living in Russia and emigrants living outside of Russia in a given year.
Here is Statistca’s data on annual immigration flows.

—”4.3 million people immigrated to Russia in 2021.”
A quick look shows nothing of that magnitude???
Pls show your source.
And a breakdown of where they are coming from would be interesting.
and your something I clean off my shoe with a sharp stick.
You’re correct, Russia is not being devasted by the sanctions that have been placed on them.
The fallacy of the other side of this is pushing to stop this senseless war makes you pro-Putin which is absurd.
I could care less about Russia and Ukraine, it’s not strategically important to security interests of the USA.
If we are worried about Russia winning and then attacking the Baltic nations or Poland, they are NATO partners, we need to be building them up right now instead of spending massive amounts in Ukraine.
From the source you cite:
“Leading countries of origin of immigrants in Russia 2022”
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1203451/immigration-by-country-in-russia/
All the immigration into Russia is similar to moving from Gary Indiana to the south side of Chicago.
NB: Look at a pre-1917 map and after WWII map, Stalin gerrymandered to divide and control the many ethnic groups, Stalin called it “National Territorial Delimitation “
Yes, much of the inflow is economic because Moscow has sucked the value out when possible, and much is returning to the family origin.
They will never admit anything
They will declare Russia lost regardless what happens
Very few here admit when wrong
Honestly at least she’s polite and resists personal smears
I don’t mind her
It’s her thing
I don’t agree but she’s been cordial
Most of the others are rabid
