Maybe you should look for other sources than random YouTube videos of people shopping in central Moscow. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2019/04/02/indoor-plumbing-st...
And you're posting a 6+ years old news report about indoor plumbing for a country with the lowest population density (in squared kilometers) of ~8.5 compared to ~35 (US) and ~100 (all of the EU) as if it had any meaning. Good luck, man.
Says the guy who is "Looking at various videos of people going shopping in Russia I see lots of full cabinets"

Here, educate yourself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_during_the_occupation_of_... The Red Army wasn't all that civilized either on their way to Berlin.
26 million people killed in Soviet Union. Jews massacred in Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine by the local population (not all of them participated, but your current friends ideological fathers did). Only in Leningrad's blocade 2 million people died.
It was the Soviet Army which liberated Auschwitz, Soviet Army which crushed the nazi war machine starting from Stalingrad.
And these are the main points which your nauseating antirussian propaganda pretends as if it does not exist. And the rest, some of it happened, some of it did not. And wikipedia is not a reliable source for historic events, itis full of propaganda as most educated people realize.
[Just saw that this comment got hidden; if it was not so dangerous, one could have only laughed at how the "free speech" warriors want to suppress other people's views. Nothing new of course.]

This is wrong. I used to work in cafes when I still lived in the city and two locations where close to hospitals and everyone I talked to complained about the risk of employing people with huge language barriers (mostly Ukrainians and Syrians from what I heard) in health related jobs because it has dire consequences if something gets lost in translation. No one of the higher ups cared and they just had to deal with w…
There just isn't enough people who are local and want to do this job for this pay. This happens in Germany but also in my home country. In Germany there is a whole industry around recruiting foreign nurses. I work in immigration and a few of my colleagues specialise in that. There are websites and initiatives just for that. It will get worse. This population is aging.
I am continually befuddled that people unironically believe government policy should enable people to be paid below the market rate for their labor.
Raise their pay!

Indoor plumbing doesn't have anything to do with population density. Millions of rural Americans have indoor plumbing without municipal water and sewer systems, using wells and septic tanks.

> What I didn't see were any young Germans Seems ~20% of the population are immigrants ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg#Demographics ), some of the people you saw are Germans and some of them are not, but I think the main confusing part is how you mix up how someone looks and what nationality they have. I think maybe you're trying to say "white" instead, but for some reason avoided using that word?
"German" does not mean "white" anymore than "Bantu" means "black."
French people, Slavic peoples, and Irish people living in Germany do not become ethnically German because they are white, and it's obvious that in any nation-state it would be reasonable to be surprised if the vast majority of people were not members of the ethnicity that formed the nation-state.

Putin will happily take over your home, even if you thought Viet Nam was a waste.
Had to imagine Putin moving into someone's 45sqm flat in the suburbs after his evil empire invaded somewhere. Had to chuckle, thanks for that.
Yeah, it will technically not be Putin himself, but someone from russia's poor regions, while you will be forcibly send to the grinder.
This all happened multiple times, and the only reason you can chuckle is ignorance.

> You must have missed my comment about opposing the war. You're opposing the war in the same way Russian propaganda "opposes" it: if only Ukraine stopped fighting, so many lives would have been saved! But Ukrainians don't have that choice; if they stop fighting against the Russian aggression, they will be fighting as part of it in a few years when Russia invades the next country over. Not to mention losing their cul…
Ukrainians had a choice as well which is why many of their men and women escaped and are now living in various European neighbouring countries instead of rotting in a ditch somewhere.
Glad that you are thinking so much about Ukrainians.
Don't forget that hundreds of thousands of russians are rotting in ditches as of now. Save some pity for them too.

I chuckled because of the s/Russia/Putin/g nonsense everywhere. I'm not laughing at anyone's expense if they forcibly lose their home, no matter where and under which circumstances.

Most of Europe stopped letting Russian conscription refugees cross the border.
I'm not Russian either.
