Thank you for the lesson. I thought that China, India, Brazil, Mexico, Middle East and Africa played a role in the world's economy”¦Gediminas said:

I see a bit of Russophobia here”¦ banning Russian language and literature might provide reliefGediminas said:
You missed my point, I haven't said all of the grey countries are 3rd world. Most of them - yes. Especially the biggest grey area of the Russian Federation. Most of that territory is beyond 3rd world.

Showing a map of unaffiliated nations is wrong on so many levels that it would take me hours to respond.
So many areas of Lithuania are like Russian countryside, the only difference being that people must survive European prices with Soviet salaries/pensions.Gediminas said:
zero russophobia. I was just born in Lithuania so I know Russia a little better than most other non-Russians. I have been also traveling to Russia before. I know what the rest of the countryside looks like. That's just a plain fact, no hate.

BTW: Greenland is a dependency of Denmark, so it should be red. Nice ignorant map. ca#"!

I don't know about Lithuania, but Russophobic news from neighboring Latvia are terrifying. Like the recent law that strips Latvian citizenship to those who are not aligned with the Russia=evil main narrative.
If not mistaken, Lithuanian GDP per capita is 2x of Russian. In best case scenario, your statement is a stretch. Russian standard is along the lines of Bulgaria. Romanian GDP per capita is around 15% higher than Russian and it's among the lowest developed countries in EU.JohnnyDoe said:

Exactly my point. If something so fundamental is wrong with that map, then what else is inaccurate?JohnnyDoe said:

lol how old are you ?Gediminas said:
I can surely confirm that. I see a lot of information pass through my eyes and I can say it's even more than 90%.
People already understand it's too hard to do business with countries like Russia, Belarussia, Kazachstan, etc. The money is on the other side.
Russia now is like N. Korea, let's be honest.

All ex soviet countries that are in EU now, are doing so much better then they did when they were under 'CCCP'. I think I'm not overestimating if I say their standard got 4-5x better than it was 30-40 years agoGediminas said:
you would be surprised how different our villages have become in the last 30 years after Lithuania become free after the Russian occupation 😉 Yes, in some parts there are still similarities (obviously), but mostly it's uncomparable.

money is simple paper.......world reserve currency,swift,resources are real value......once you lose control over these your paper is not worth much anymore.Jerry1911 said:
Of course they (we) do. The west has the biggest amount of money, that's true. However the clock is ticking, just look at the US debt. EUR is also going down; EU has imposed sanctions yet they don't have a solution for the energy crisis they themselves have caused.
And there are a multitude of reasons as to why the west is rich right now. USD being reserve currency for example, and stuff such as economic blackmail (read the book Confessions of an Economic Hitman). You don't want to play by our (western) rules? No problem, we will assasinate you, replace you, and your country will get a nice loan from the IMF and hire our contractors. Do some research on the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant for instance.
So it's not that simple.

Did you mention Sri Lanka which is now bankrupt and people have no food or african countries where million of people will die because of sanctions ?Gediminas said:
But you are now speaking about imagination and your fears, and I am speaking about innocent people who get killed AND RAPED TODAY.
What is your point?
You are either a troll, ignorant, or low IQ human.

Lol this is irrelevant when you live in a country with one of the worst Covid restrictions in the world. As far as I know, (and Gediminas - feel free to correct me) every single shop in Lithuania required a Covid pass to enter.
Well that's true. But the Russians weren't the problem, the problem was communism, the economic system itself.MrPepper said:

Germany with no resources and 50% of their GDP coming from export will tank like the titanicMrPepper said:
This will not be solved overnight, but long run EU has learned the lesson and they will limit in the future how much and what they get from Russia. Short term, EU lose a lot, long term Russia lose a lot.
