Here the favourable views from a poll of 137 countries conducted by the Centre for Future of Democracy, Cambridge, UK
- USA: 62%
- Russia: 56%
- China: 55%
What’s more that Russia & China are more popular than the U.S. in developing nations, where 85% of the world’s population lives.
In Belt and Road (BRI) nations, China is extremely popular.
The last time we had an influx of immigrants over the Norwegian-Russian border they came on bikes because they couldn’t afford cars and it’s illegal to walk across. I think that sets the bar for how expensive it is to flee to Norway from Russia.
I don’t think we’ll only see the well-off.
Fair. I suppose you have a better picture from the other side of the fence
