The GP compared the US to countries like Russia so I listed countries like Russia. Europe is great and I'd gladly choose most any Western European country over countries like Russia as well. I believe a lot of people, including people in those Russia like countries would too. And my assertion is that points to fundamental differences between e.g. U.S. and Russia and friends [1] that causes people to much prefer the former over the latter. [1]. e.g. forcing Shanghai residents into Covid lockdown by welding their doors shut and leaving them to half starve. Can you imagine this happening in the US or Western Europe?
