Russia is at an economic low right now; it's a wonder we don't see people leaving in droves. Oh, and I'm just curious - what's Snowden doing these days?

Actually when you look at the economies of All the western coutries in Europe, Russia is doing a lot better than most of them. A lot of european countries are in recession just now. USA is $31.4 trillion in debt just now and it will soon be over $35 trillion in debt, with no gold to back that debt up. If you took the population of USA that debt equates to around $94K in debt per person.

USA and the west is failing on many fronts and Russia is in a fairly heathy state in comparison, food prices, energy and inflation is low in Russia and many of those are having a much better standard of living than many in the west.

Basically don't believe everything you read in the media, it's one sided and full of propoganda.

that's because they are told what to do and have no freedom. if that's what it takes than i'd rather put up with inflation and the cost of living increases

You shouldn't believe anything Russia say.
They lie to make them look better than they really are.

It's like these companies keep justifying my reason to pirate. Carry on rusbros!

Yes, their actions won't affect Putin... directly
However, the more actions like that there are, the higher the chances of an uprising are.
And i really mean it. However, i'd really like to see an uprising of gamers... only...

This is a picture that plays out in many cities in USA:

There's people shitting in the streets, stealing from the shops, mass shootings, drug deaths at an all time high, high food and energy prices, mass unhappiness . I could go on but you get the picture. You can have your freedom all you want, but you're not really free, your voting is rigged, your run by the same rich families election after election and your taxes are being squandered and being used to make the rich richer while you get poorer money wise, health wise, and lead unhappy lives. You can disagree with this as much as you want but that's what I see when I look at USA today. I see a divided USA that's massively in debt, is crumbling on the world stage both in military power and political clout. I see China and Russia/Asia and many eastern countries coming up and taking the place of USA in military might, financial clout and resources that are needed for the future, and with that economic boom comes political clout.

I can post many links and videos with the opposite view, but then again I just deal with facts and logic and not the opinions of some MSM news outlet or youtuber that is biased.

I heard tons of news about people frauding and being sentenced for like 2 or 3 years
Than, there's this woman in usa who frauded for over 700M$ over over a decade. She has been sentenced for 11 years.
When i heard that, i was like "finally, real justice..."
Then i read more about her case... She frauded peoples who were already millionaires...
I see... Real justice... I couldn't be more wrong...

Almost like capitalism fucking sucks and Russia operates on an even more extreme version of that, a state-run capitalist system. The solution isn't to lean more into fascism and authoritarianism, it's to crush those ideologies under heel. In Russia, the US, and the world.

I don't think _Putin_ is the stupid one. You (and the folks that liked your post) need to stop watching liberal "news" sources.
Did you know that in 2014, the Ukrainian military started shelling CIVILIAN targets in Donetsk (and other regions)? Putin finally had enough and is working on putting an end to it. Also, why on earth would you support a regime that has Nazi supporters in their ranks and has killed innocent civilians and tortured POW's to death? Unless you're OK with all that?

So let me see....... you're fine with the Ukrainian military being full of Nazi's, fine with their military killing innocent civilians and killing POW's, and fine with your country sending money and arms to one of the most corrupt countries in Europe. Ok, just
wanted to be sure.

I know as you're reading this, you're smashing that reply button and have your 'talking points' from CNN ready to go and have 'right wing racist', 'putin lover', 'trump supporter' all in your clipboard so let me save you some time.......... I don't bother voting in any election. Don't care who the president is either. Obama, Trump, Bush, Clinton, etc., etc., etc. are all pieces of corrupt garbage and should be tried for war crimes and corruption and sentenced to life in prison. READ THAT AGAIN PLEASE.

On the international stage, I couldn't care less what the president of any country does in their own land. If people get sick and tired of it, let them raise up and do something about it.

Never go full retard just like you did writing this, mhm, post.

The thing is, the post you are quoting is all true, but you don't know any of this because the media you have been consuming is one sided and has not reported any of this. You only ever hear one side of a story so you never see the full picture - only the half you are shown.

"You're only getting half the picture" - person who buys into Russian propaganda and isn't getting any of the true picture as a result

You are funny. I am from Ukraine and my brother fought russkies from 2014 to 2020. Tell me more about “what exactly I don’t know”.

Biased by what? About orders not to fire back when my brother was shelled in trenches because of “not to provoke escalation”?
About people literally going crazy and ending up in mental clinics because they were not allowed to fire back because monkeys from ldnr were covering their asses with civilians?
Go f yourself then, unbiased russki bot and don’t you dare talk about Ukraine being at any fault here. The only reason why this happened because Ukraine, as an independent country, wanted to part ways with russia and choose it’s own route. Russia wanted Ukraine to be a second Belarus, which Ukraine did not want to be. That’s the sole reason for this war.

I often listen to both sides of an argument and make up my own thoughts!

Buying games on PSN/XBL isn't very reliable as it is (they have the power to remove ownership if they want), but Nintendo's eShops are even worse with all the console ID and whatnot (at least that was the case for Wii U).
