You do know that hot showers have been a thing for like two hundred years, right?

Kings and Queens absolutely had access to hot showers 100 years ago. And indoor plumbing, soap, groceries, etc. The car had been invented for nearly two decades!

What in the world are you babbling about? It's wild that you call me ignorant when you seem to have zero grasp on history.

Also dismissing crises/problems we face in the current times because technology is better than X years ago is an absolutely fallacious, childish take.

And yet they are still in Ukraine after a year with Ukraines infrastructure decimated.

Meanwhile our military contractors are dancing their way to the bank.

If there was a swift victory we would lose out billions in sales of weapons/vehicles/etc...

Want the truth about anything in the world? Follow the money

Its ground to a halt because this is what is benefing our military sales

Kings and Queens didn't have hot showers, central air conditioning, cars, TVs, access to dental care, washing machines, indoor plumbing, toilet paper, soap, grocery stores, etc., etc., etc.

It's the best time to be alive in the history of the world.

But if you want to walk around like some ignorant, pessimistic, loser, have at it!

Western Europe generally opposes immigration from Eastern Europe. Even with massive pro-Ukraine media coverage, grudging acceptance is based on a) immigrants being mainly women and children since fighting-age males are conscripted, b) the expectation they'll go back once the war ends.

You pretty much have the situation backwards - as a general rule, the worse a country is, the less supportive people become of free travel, for reasons I assumed were obvious.

Seventy years ago. Many of rhe soldiers were Chinese, whom like Germany, Japan, Italy, & Vietnam have become trade partners at worst to allies.

The standard of living in NK is among the worst in the world. Legend amd myth dont hold a candle to the kidnapping of Japanese citizens to the genocide of their own people.

Not ever making excuses or goody goody on American power but the datas clear.
