Russia diplomacy has been far superior than time in history. It has gotten rid of former vassals that didnot contribute anything and gain some thing that cannot be visibly measured. Those countries including Ukraine has very negative impact on alot of things domestically in Russia. that fundamental restructuring is going now.I'm making the point that Russian diplomacy has been demonstrably incompetent since the fall of the USSR, so them running their mouths so much about how dumb the West is while simultaneously seething over NATO expansion is just very stupid. Your enemy can't be a bunch of dumb oafs and also a cabal of evil masterminds at the same time.
Luanda and Sao Paulo are also very nice cities. Hong Kong was a very nice city in 2000.Tucker went to UAE to tell them Moscow is nicer than any US city as If Wealthy Arabs does not know this fact.
dude come onIt has gotten rid of former vassals that didnot contribute anything and gain some thing that cannot be visibly measured.
He cannot say in front of those wealthy Arabs that is not true. he compared to the best of best of Gulf states and Asia.Luanda and Sao Paulo are also very nice cities. Hong Kong was a very nice city in 2000.
Directly from your own source:NIBRS (and previously, the UCR), the main source of crime statistics, has always been voluntary but 94% of US police departments participate ()
regardless, homicide, which is separately inferred from death certificates have gone down since the 1990s and otherwise flat over decades ()
Is modern Russian diplomacy that incompetent? They negotiated a border treaty with China. Which basically ended a multiple decades long conflict which could have flared up into a full blown war several times in the past. Which is more than the Soviet Union managed to do.I'm making the point that Russian diplomacy has been demonstrably incompetent since the fall of the USSR, so them running their mouths so much about how dumb the West is while simultaneously seething over NATO expansion is just very stupid.

Correct: I said that NBRS and its predecessor, the UCR all had voluntary submissions ( “NIBRS (and previously, the UCR), the main source of crime statistics, has always been voluntary”Directly from your own source:
Even though the violent crime rate has been decreasing since 1990, the United States tops the ranking of countries with the most prisoners. In addition, due to the FBI's recent transition to a new crime reporting system in which law enforcement agencies voluntarily submit crime reports, data may not accurately reflect the total number of crimes committed.
Yes: measuring crime and making comparisons between time is hardEven though 93.5% of law enforcement agencies participated, submission of crime report is still voluntary and may underestimate the numbers. Also that is if they even report to law enforcement agencies.
Yes. That is why it doesn’t make much sense to compare rates of petty and nonviolent crime.I mean can't count them if they aren't reported properly.
I’m comparing to both decades prior, including the 1990s and the recent few yearsAlso you can't compare to the years 2020, 2021, 2022 as base since they are skewed due to covid lockdowns.
Yes: the post Covid crime boom has made the U.S. more crime-prone than it was pre-COVID but still as peaceful as it was during most of history and more peaceful than in the 1990s.Compared to 2019, 2023 still had higher crime rate especially in car jackings and homicides.
Calling it blanket incompetent was too far on my part, I was meaning to highlight Russia not succeeding in keeping most ex Warsaw pact and USSR states close after 1991.Is modern Russian diplomacy that incompetent? They negotiated a border treaty with China. Which basically ended a multiple decades long conflict which could have flared up into a full blown war several times in the past. Which is more than the Soviet Union managed to do.
