If that's true, why do they all want to come to Nazi Germany so badly?

Russia appears to have lost its Black Sea flagship
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/r ... ff-ukraine
The Russian Ministry of Defense says that the Project 1164 Slava class cruiser Moskva suffered serious enough damage to force the entire crew to evacuate after a fire broke out while it was sailing the Black Sea, causing munitions aboard to explode. This follows reports that the ship was on fire after being struck by Ukrainian Neptune shore-based anti-ship cruise missiles.
I would say that it would cost Russia several billion to replace this ship, except it can't; Russia hasn't been able to build any ship larger than a frigate in decades.
So far this war has been a financial disaster for Russia.
Frigate? I heard they were reduced to building corvettes.

Latin America is a meat grinder and overcrowded rape camp. (Yes, the language is harsh,
but true.) Life isn't cheap in Latin American, it is worthless. Rape and murder is common place. And murder in Latin America is often slow and tortuous.
The Mexicans are the worst; absolutely the worst of the bunch in terms of murder and rapine. 99.9% of murders and rapes are never prosecuted in Mexico; let that sink in. Corruption is in the blood and Central America is a string of failed states that easily rival Pakistan for dysfunction.
Mexicans are like Russians: If you have a nice house and they don't, they will burn down your house so that no one has a nice house. How has that philosophy worked out for Mexicans and Russians?
Having lived in Latin America, I can assure the gringos that the region is fueled entirely by hypocrisy.

So you wouldn't be for trying to make a getaway spot in Mexico, then, I presume? Ha
The good thing about LatAm if there is a surveillance state in the "west" is that they'll likely never have that infrastructure set up. But as you suggest, there can be other problems if locally not much food is there (usually one can grow it in those climates, though) and they are envious or single you out.

This is one of the more crazy, out there takes I've seen in a long while. There are so many anti Russian outsiders that are just MSM shills, and this guy clearly seems to be yet another.

Admittedly that is much of what I am coming across (and I am a Russophobe myself...all eight of my great-grandparents we Bohemian and the USSR's treatment of Czechoslovakia pained the older members of my family)

They are still building a few frigates, though it's true that much of the Russian Navy (especially its modern vessels) is now corvettes. They are cheaper and easier to complete with the limited shipbuilding capacity that Russia has. It still can build submarines that are much larger than any of its surface fleet which tells you where it has placed its priorities.

Since the Russian Army (and somewhat their Air Force too) have shown themselves to be incompetent, the Russian Navy has now joined them.
What the Moskva, the multi billion dollar flagship, was doing (before it was sunk) is beyond me. I cannot even comprehend why it was anywhere near the Ukrainian coast.
It did, however, show the lethality and effectiveness of modern anti-ship missiles.
