I see nothing wrong with living in a shitty country. He was born there, he currently lives there, and he might even die there, depending on his luck in life. Just because his country has the asshole as wide as Jupiter's diameter because of Russia and Murica contesting around it, doesn't mean he can't live a nice life. Sadly, he won't have the luxuries many rich Europeans or Muricans have.
I know for a fact that here, building a PC would cost me more than building the same shit in Sweden. Sweden might be the poorest Scandi country around, but they fucking melt gold into houses from all their riches, so it's not even comparable. Same goes for Poorgentina.
