1) l I don't speak Russian. I have studied German off and on for 30 years and will at this point never speak like a native speaker. Past 40 I would imagine it would be impossible for me to achieve true mastery of Russian.

2) The division between Germanic peoples and Slavs is pretty wide. I believe Putin even said that in an interview stating that although he is white and we may this k he looks us, we are not the same I tend to agree.

3) There is a lot I like about Russia, and I think Putin is the lesser of all evils, but he is corrupt.

That stated if I won the lottery and would be allowed to keep my earnings, if not Russia I might consider a place like Hungary. Germany I am just not sure about. Have wanted to live there since I was 16, and have worked and lived there but Germany is just so far gone I am not sure I could handle living there per any. It would be like the Dali Lama living in occupied Tibet.

Isn't it far whiter than the UK outside of a couple cities? And I think culturally it's not as accepting of migrants in practice from what I've heard, remember seeing a chart that put Germany as among the harder countries for international students to assimilate to.

Not a good sign that you compare Germany to the UK. Things are really bad in Germany.

I only used that because I thought you were British tbh.

No I am American, unfortunately.

I think all Americans in the DR should be investing in real estate/residencies in latam and europe just in case. I don't think all of it is lost but it's important if you become unpersoned in America to have backups.
