Russia Ukraine war, page-3014

Russia has very little going for it now. Rouble falling fast and will end up wiping out the savings of many. Wealth disparity between rich and poor the worst of any country in the world. Putin alone is reputed to have stolen an average $20B every year he has been in power. With the jails and mortuary full of Putin opponents you can't blame the smartest wanting to leave. Shame really. Their art, culture and science was to be admired in the past. Actually think they were better off in the early days of communism. Just hope they can eventually become democratic but sadly they are headed toward basket case territory.
