Cause rural America is living in luxury?

I say that as someone who grew up in the sticks of West Virginia. Our infrastructure was barely sufficient. My parents didn't get high speed internet that wasn't satellite based until 2010.

Russia does not have "diversity"

Its a nation of whites...they have fought to protect their culture...

They don't have drugs pouring in, they don't have 8 million illegals crossing into Russia...

Thus they keep things nice

Cities are doomed. Urban communism fricked over the country and we are left with the aftermath.

At this point, I just welcome the rapid pace of deterioration, lets get it over with.

Every major America city started to decline significantly the last 10 years as liberal leaders got crazier. Homelessness and crime rose. This all accelerated in 2020. Not hard to believe Moscow is nicer than Los Angeles or New York as the Russians don’t allow homeless drug addicts to shite in the streets.

Almost every European big city is nicer than any American big city. America's cities are crime ridden concrete jungle shitholes

I’ve been to at Petersburg and half of it is super nice and half is complete shite.

Russia is very different than the US. I wouldn’t say it is nicer

Before the Ruskies kicked him out YouTuber Benjamin Rich (Bald & Bankrupt) traveled through Russia visiting cities (Moscow and former countries of the Soviet bloc). His journey showed a delightful side of Russia I did not expect. I was impressed with the people. They were polite, always helpful, and appeared to be happy. He was free to travel to regions and cities. There didn't appear to be anything like the ghetto we see in cities like NY or San Francisco, Philadelphia, New Orleans. That's not to say there wasn't evidence of poverty but it appeared to be in the outlying areas of the former USSR countries. Certainly no evidence of crime in the streets like we're seeing in democrat controlled cities in America. I was impressed by that.

America has spent trillions and trillions on the War on Poverty and guess what? We still have poverty. Evidence of that poverty? Piles of feces lining the sidewalks,homeless people living in tents, thugs raping and killing people who make the mistake of wandering into the wrong part of town. Don't get me started on my observation of American subways. Yikes! Then there's this latest disturbing trend - loonytoon trannies walking in on Church services and schools shooting people. Not good.

IMO there is a reason Russia appears stable, while America is descending into chaos. Certainly, the fact the Russian people share a common culture, language, race, religion, has to be considered a contributing factor towards their stability. Plus they see fossil fuel as a commodity to use to create a better life for their people. They're not chasing after this absurd Renewable Energy "pie-in-the-sky" energy solution. More important, no sign of this absurdity we label D.I.E. (Diversity, Inclusion, Equity). DIE - it's well labeled. Hint: The Ruskies all sing the same Russian National Anthem at their sporting events.

So what's this absurd libtard loathing of Donald Trump and their perception that he's in bed with Vlad Putin? I would rather believe the two men get along because both Putin and Trump are Nationalist [Nationalism - an obscene word in the Globalist dictionary]. They understand each other - as in they both believe in secure borders and both focused on their people first. They both understand the trap that is Globalism.

So based on what Tucker saw, is it safe to say Joe Biden's America is in steep decline, while Russia under Vlad Putin is rising to new heights? Something to think about.

Dubai is a new city overall. 35 years ago it was little more than a coastal town. The British essentially built the place with local money.

Singapore very much the same in that before the British came it was just shacks by the water. The British saw the value and built it up. Then they gave administration of the place to the ethnic Chinese.

New York has always had a gritty feel to it because of it being an immigrant hub with lots of transients.

I would however caution about white knighting for Moscow and the infrastructure. Whereas some of the stations look nice, the maintenance of the trains suck . I was there in 2010 and got on a subway and it just stopped. Waited 45 minutes until some cops came down the tunnel with flashlights to get all the people to the platform. The next day that line was still down. That would not happen in NYC.

Also, the historical center of Moscow is nice around the Kremlin, St Basil's, etc. The downtown business district is impressive looking. However, there is a strong OC presence in the area that you can feel.....many of those "hot" Russian model types are "property". Once outside of the center, the place is pretty depressing. Old Soviet era apartment towers and very little feel that these are neighborhoods.....just rack 'em and stack'em housing that has problems with reliable electricity and from what I was told by a local, plumbing.

St Petersburg is only marginally better.

Notice the target bags and the sandals right off the target “pride” display. I’m sure he kicked in the extra funds for those bags to carry around.


The difference is Eastern European and Asian countries won’t allow and punish vagrants, vandals, and littering. Goes without saying they also punish thieves and assailants.

Lots of places have nicer cities than the US.

Lots of places also don’t have as nice cities as the us.

The Founders agreed that Constitutional Principle based (personal Freedom via God-given Rights) government only works for "a moral and religious people". I.e., people who possess the spiritual and practical ability to discipline themselves. Minus that it will be societal dysfunction and inevitable collapse. Authoritarian efforts via DEI nws.
