Of course this time around we have to do the bombing through some middlemen because the brown people have big guns too, and the people aren’t actually brown this time around. They do speak a weird language though and have different cultural values, so maybe that qualifies.

- aguaviva 2y agoThe numbers are all out there, behind 1 minutes of searching. And they speak decidedly against your claims: https://hdr.undp.org/system/files/documents/hdr2020.pdf https://hdr.undp.org/system/files/documents/hdr2020.pdf Ukraine's development ranking is classed as 'High', while Namibia and Zambia are both classed as 'Medium'. My wife's side of the family is entirely Russian, so I have some basic knowledge on the subject I have direct knowledge of the country as well. Your relatives can say whatever they want to say.
