@ManuelM76830992@LesiaLVD@sashameetsrus 1.25M cases isn’t a “gotcha” and doesn’t prove your point.
Russia’s HIV situation is a long-term public health issue, not a new trend.
Also, The Moscow Times is a news outlet, not a primary data source.
What exact WHO/UNAIDS dataset are you using?
Or are you not.
@fellarific@JackRyanlives@LesiaLVD@sashameetsrus Because migration is normal everywhere.
People leave for higher wages, education, family, visas or opportunity—not “hate”.
India, China, UK and US all have large diasporas too. Russia isn’t unique; it’s part of a global mobility pattern.
@Minatore73@LesiaLVD@sashameetsrus A link to a homepage isn’t a dataset, it’s just a starting point.
If you’re confident in specific claims, quote the exact table or figure from Rosstat or equivalent sources.
Burden of proof doesn’t disappear because a site exists.
@MelnykAndrij That’s not how the UN works.
Russia is a permanent UNSC member; removing it would require amending the UN Charter and, effectively, their own approval.
“Kicking them out” sounds tough, but it ignores legal reality and just hardens deadlock instead of changing outcomes.
@fellarific@JackRyanlives@LesiaLVD@sashameetsrus That’s an oversimplification that doesn’t really hold up.
A country of 140+ million people can’t be reduced to a single emotion.
People inside Russia have very different views, just like anywhere else.
@DevanaUkraine Not accurate.
There’s no 1720 law saying Ukrainian “doesn’t exist,” and “6 bans” is not supported historically.
Key restrictions were 1863 & 1876 decrees; USSR policy also shifted (Ukrainisation in the 1920s, later reversals), not a continuous outright ban.
But Russian is
@warrior_na92602 Declaring “that’s a fact” doesn’t make it one. Wars aren’t decided by slogans on X.
Both sides are still actively fighting, adapting, and sustaining losses.
If it’s truly “over,” the battlefield—not the feed—will show it.
@Minatore73@LesiaLVD@sashameetsrus That link is a general government portal, not a statistical dataset. It doesn’t verify your specific claims about wages, GDP ranks, or income distribution.
If you’re citing figures, the correct sources are agencies like Rosstat, IMF, or World Bank tables—not a homepage.
@Minatore73@LesiaLVD@sashameetsrus You were the one who introduced specific claims first (GDP rank, wages, % under €500) without linking a dataset.
We’re not “circling”, we’re asking for sources because that’s how claims are checked.
Insults aren’t evidence—just noise.
If you’ve got Rosstat/IMF, share them.
@Minatore73@LesiaLVD@sashameetsrus Strong claims still need sources.
If the data exists, it should be easy to link Rosstat/IMF tables instead of insults.
Swearing doesn’t strengthen an argument—it just replaces evidence.
Happy to engage with actual datasets, not slogans or insults.
@_brunocunha_@CaolanReports Mostly military/energy sites in Russia, but there have also been reported strikes on infrastructure in occupied areas, including the university dormitory in Luhansk, killing 18 young girls and other civilian facilities.
The reality is mixed—war targets and collateral overlap.
@NAFOteacher Patriots may save lives, but “give everything” risks escalation, not resolution. Civilian suffering won’t end without diplomacy alongside deterrence. Otherwise it becomes an open-ended proxy with no off-ramp.
@Minatore73@LesiaLVD@sashameetsrus Median figures are useful, but the 10% at €165 claim needs a source and context (year, region, full vs part-time). Russia has wide regional inequality, but Rosstat median wages are higher nationally, and PPP/cost of living changes interpretation. Share dataset?
@jurgen_nauditt “Civilian only” is a strong claim that needs verification.
In active warzones, damage reports often mix civilian and dual-use sites, and early summaries can reflect narrative framing more than full assessment.
Independent confirmation matters before drawing conclusions.
@ricwe123 There’s a legitimate question about mandate, legality and post-intervention outcomes.
Libya’s 2011 intervention under NATO led to regime collapse without a stable transition, creating long-term fragmentation.
The accountability debate is still unresolved in international law.
@VvaZ00 Hyperbole aside, this reads like rhetorical framing of strategic concern, not literal insomnia.
NATO officials consistently cite Russia as the key security variable in Europe due to Ukraine, cyber and energy leverage.
Diagnosis: political metaphor, not pathology.
@Petrone91357545 Strong language like this hardens positions rather than clarifies anything.
If there are allegations of war crimes, they belong in courts and investigations, not slogans on social media.
Otherwise it becomes propaganda.
@pl_european That’s a catchy line, but it’s more slogan than analysis.
EU membership isn’t just a preference; it’s geography, economics, and history. Plenty of countries debate both directions when incentives shift.
Reality is a lot more complex than “everyone vs Russia.”
Regional divide widening.
Public services under strain.
Political volatility rising.
Immigration protests.
Britain remains strong in parts — but increasingly two-speed and fragile in direction.

Britain isn’t collapsing
However, it’s slowly losing momentum while still looking stable.
That’s the real story. New analysis:

Productivity stagnation, housing pressure, and weak investment are reshaping the UK economy.
Growth continues, but it no longer feels like progress for many households.
