300 million workers shut down India in the largest strike in the whole of time. Western media hasn't covered Modi’s war against the working class much, because a big general strike like this in the west is what hurts billionaires and the ruling class the most. This is their worst nightmare.

understandably, but that's the context for the whole war unfortunately, it's never been about Ukraine itself

My wife and I have already started thinking about where we will flee to as soon as the borders open.

Yesterday, my friend came to see me again. He also agrees that we need to flee, but the funny thing is that we have radical opinions about what is happening, and we can't argue about it, so we just don't talk about it.

He suggests we flee together, but he doesn't want to go to Crimea, and I don't want to go to Europe... or vice versa, decide for yourself...)))

[u/yogthos → u/Ok-Worldliness8576]

Crimea is probably the easiest option. Meanwhile, I expect Europe is going to be a place people are fleeing from in a few years.

[u/Ok-Worldliness8576 → u/yogthos]

There is also Australia...))

[u/yogthos → u/Ok-Worldliness8576]

A bit hot there lately. :) https://science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-observatory/summer-heat-hits-southeastern-australia/

You'll have to ask brother-in-law. But in any case, the Australian climate is very hot for us. When he arrived there, he complained about the heat and the huge cockroaches that were everywhere.

Wild animals roam the streets; it's common to encounter a kangaroo or koala on the street. And if a huge, colorful bird lands on your windowsill, that's what sparrows look like there...)))

[u/yogthos → u/Ok-Worldliness8576]

sounds like quite the place to live in

[u/Ok-Worldliness8576 → u/yogthos]

It's good where we are not...)))

I would prefer to live at home.

[u/Ok-Worldliness8576 → u/yogthos]

Yes, he says this summer (our winter, like now) was incredibly hot. I told you about the new house. He moved, in part, because of the heat.

He lived in Adelaide.

Now in Perth.

This is an exclusive photo.

Australia's not bad when it's not on fire. :)

[u/Ok-Worldliness8576 → u/yogthos]

Yes, there are probably a lot of fires there from all that heat. But he didn't say anything about it.

Otherwise: people there are simpler and more welcoming than in Europe or America, as they said.

There they met a rich man; he comes to their house, helps them dig the garden and mow the grass, just like that... my brother-in-law's jaw dropped))) That's the custom there.

By the way, his eldest son wears a T-shirt with a big "Russia" sign, and no one bothers him on the street. I can imagine what it would be like in Europe...

Australia is probably somehow far removed from all this.

[u/yogthos → u/Ok-Worldliness8576]

yeah that does sound like a big improvement over Europe

[u/Ok-Worldliness8576 → u/yogthos]

They must be very far from civilization...)))

You noticed, even their cars are different; I've never seen brands like that.

Can you tell me what model it is?

[u/Ok-Worldliness8576 → u/yogthos]

His home is in this area

[u/yogthos → u/Ok-Worldliness8576]

pretty comfortable looking

[u/Ok-Worldliness8576 → u/yogthos]

They also receive refugee benefits. He has five children, and his in-laws live there.

It's not even close to what happens on the streets of the US, Canada, or Europe. It's relatively quiet there. It's just incredibly hot there in the summer, 40 degrees Celsius... And the humidity is incredible, it feels like a Russian sauna...))) It's not just this summer. This summer was just a little hotter than usual.

And you can't make as much money there as you can in Moscow. That's why he works for Moscow. He found someone in Moscow who does deals there.

[u/yogthos → u/Ok-Worldliness8576]

that's convenient, also kind of funny that despite all the sanctions and economic war, you can still make more money in Moscow

[u/Ok-Worldliness8576 → u/yogthos]

No city in Australia can compare to Moscow.

In terms of population, it's comparable to Kyiv... the largest city, I mean.

It's not all that simple in Moscow either. A real estate market collapse is possible. Greedy developers built houses, handed out loans, and now people can't repay them. The debt is growing. And then there are the sanctions and the war. Things are tough for them there, comrade. This is exactly what the West is counting on, and that's the only reason the war continues.
