Of course millions are clamoring to immigrate to Russia for a better life - it's a rich, stable country!
- obiye27 6y agoSo stable it has multiple ongoing civil conflicts. Come visit Russia, we didn’t shoot down any airliners this year!
- fuoqi 6y agoLast civil conflict in Russia was the second Chechen war. By all definitions it's Ukraine in the state of civil war, not Russia. More than 90% of Donbas rebels are Ukrainian citizens. Russia of course supports the pro-Russian side in this conflict, but foreign interference during civil wars is so common, you could call it a rule. And even outside the war zone you can see a strong polarization in Ukrainian society (just look at the recent news about an attempted murder of an opposition party member by far-right nationalists), with nothing comparable in Russia.
- obiye27 6y agoUkraine is not in civil war, Ukraine was invaded. I hope you supported the Iraq war? What a terrible civil conflict we had to get involved in.
- ric2b 6y ago> So stable it has multiple ongoing civil conflicts. Can you mention one?
- obiye27 6y agoCrimea/Ukraine. Civil because they stole the land. Chechnya. Literally run by terrorists who murder their own people daily. And let’s throw in the casual assassination of domestic political dissidents as a free one. We should have dealt with Russia the proper way in the Cold War and glassed it end to end. I am hopeful we still will.

- obiye27 6y agoThey literally don’t, and those that do are exceedingly desperate.
