Of the 22.6 percent of households without a centralized sewage system, 16.8 percent use a system of pipes connected to pit toilets, RBC cited the State Statistics Service, Rosstat, as saying. The other 5.8 percent lack a sewage system altogether.
I guess piping sewage into an open pit counts as a kind of system, and it's definitely septic.
I don’t want to mock people pretending they don’t have indoor toilets.
Sadly, it's not really pretending. This article is from 2019, but the situation isn't much different today:
More than one-fifth of Russian households do not have access to indoor plumbing, according to official statistics obtained by the RBC news website on Tuesday.
and
In rural Russia, almost two-thirds have no access to indoor toilets, 48.1 percent of whom use outhouses and 18.4 percent do not have a sewage system.
USA has done next to nothing to help Ukraine or to put pressure on Russia.
Since the 2022 invasion, the US has given $135 billion in military and other assistance to Ukraine, as well as imposing wide ranging sanctions on Russia individuals and businesses. If that's nothing, then Europe has also done nothing.
Is "CBS News senior foreign correspondent Charlie D’Agata," a Ukrainian citizen? If not, then what does that have to do with the article, apart from the fact that he mentions Ukrainians on his way to being racist?
I don't think you're remotely antisemitic, or at least nothing I've ever seen you write has given that impression. I'm just responding to a response to word in a comment which is getting lost here, to wit:
I would say it’s a massive case of not providing citation of Zionists (the State of Isreal to be fully clear what I am referring to.) Is actively blocking weapons to Ukraine.
The person above me asked why they said "Zionist" when they specifically meant Israel, and then I said what I did. I don't think you even the term "Zionist," in any of the removed comments, but feel free to correct me.
Because when they said "Zionists" what they actually wanted to say was "the Jews?" And I only mean that tiny bit facetiously, because why else do you need to immediately and defensively explain what you meant by that specific imprecise choice of terms unless it's a dog whistle.
You're so mad about this, and I can't figure out why. I'm saying the Iranian government is bad, so when you say this:
Talking about how the Iranian regime “massacres and persecutes their own people” to support the the notion that America is less murderous and to claim that Iran’s actions of self-defense against American bases used to attack Iran in its allied nations around it aren’t justified (which is where this whole thread started) is self-serving tribalist hypocrisy.
It's a non-sequitur. Nobody was defending the US and the only reason why they even came up is because you mentioned them by way of were praising an objectively awful government. It also occurred to me to ask since you put "massacres and persecutes their own people”," do you think Iran doesn't do that? Or is it just inconvenient to acknowledge it while fighting American imperialism online?
I don't really know what you're talking about and I strung the suspect that you don't either.
The Iranian people are victims of their own government , it's absolute garbage institution and should be destroyed and replaced with something that doesn't carelessly destroy so many innocent lives. If you care about the Iranian people as you say, I have no idea why you want to condemn them to that hell with silence.
That shit is invariably wheeled out by aggressive, murderous foreign invading regimes (like the ones of American and Russia) to justify doing even more murderous things to the people of a country than those people’s regime ever did to them.
The glib willingness with which to write off all their atrocities with whataboutism and minimization is revolting, people like you are why those regimes continue as long as they do. Believe it or not, you can hate all the shitty governments, even when they're fighting each other.
Mate, next to both America and Russia, Iran are fucking angels
Please stop. Iran's government is an authoritarian theocracy with, among other things, a very recent history of massacring and persecuting their own people for protesting said government. They're absolutely horrible and remain so despite fighting other states with horrible governments.
"We're very tough but also too scared to threaten you directly, so just be afraid ok?"
Yay, new bingo cards!
The US had ice cream barges in the Pacific to produce fresh ice cream for troops.
Say what you will about Bibi Netanyahu, but the man's talent for being a piece of shit is top tier.
I probably should've quoted this part, as well:
I guess piping sewage into an open pit counts as a kind of system, and it's definitely septic.

You're just grandstanding about the US on an unrelated article, though
Since the 2022 invasion, the US has given $135 billion in military and other assistance to Ukraine, as well as imposing wide ranging sanctions on Russia individuals and businesses. If that's nothing, then Europe has also done nothing.
I'm asking about why you're talking about the US media as opposed to the Ukrainian media, which would actually be relevant.

Oof, there's some dumb comments there, e.g.:
Does that count a perfidy, in a war crimes sense? It seems like it would but I don't want to make baseless accusations.

I really don't know how I got here, tbh.
Because when they said "Zionists" what they actually wanted to say was "the Jews?" And I only mean that tiny bit facetiously, because why else do you need to immediately and defensively explain what you meant by that specific imprecise choice of terms unless it's a dog whistle.
Probably not red handed, if it's capitalism.

It's definitely because many non-disgustingly-rich EU citizens are clamoring for it.
It's good he's ok, and I wish the drone pilot's entire unit a quick and painful death.
