That is the only good thing left in Russia,people still love families and degeneration is not as en mass as is in the West.However this does not justify at all going to invade another country just for the sake of it and blaming it on NATO expansion,this was the first reason they started this war after all and now they have failed that objective miserably as they just added 1300 km of borders with NATO as Finland join NATO exactly because of this Russian aggression out of nowhere.

I don't think Russia is in a position to call itself lucky nor their citizens unless they agree to be at least 30-40 years back in technology advancement.The sanctions clearly prohibit Russia advanced chips and they are now looking to buy them from India and China which suck compared to Western quality.

Not the only one. I can also attribute to the advantages of Russia its vast territory. There is no need to especially fight for a place under the sun, because there is plenty of space for everyone.

Somehow the people of Russia are finding your theory unconvincing. Russia has been bleeding population for decades and the projections are even worse. I guess in a way you are right, there is not much of a fight to have a place in Russia. The invasion of Ukraine however shows that there quite of a fight to stay well away from the "sun of Russia" and its "vast territories". If you like to have plenty of room for yourself... you are in the right place.

Apart from that, most the RF territory is just too unhospitable, unless you are a deer.

Even if people in the west have gone mad, it doesn’t change the problematic situation in russia. You can not confident yourself and your position as a better one only because you think that somebody else has worse conditions, which you don’t wish for yourself. Maybe you don’t have “parent #1 and #2”, but it doesn’t mean at all that russian families are healthier or happier, considering a lot of cases of incomplete families and domestic violence, the inability to provide for their children, and so on.

The gender discussion is senseless. Allowing people to decide about their lives is not "degeneration". Killing them is.
