Well, Europe East of Berlin wall is only so much. But we talk about Germany here.

> Germans are actually good at that when they want to be.

Yeah, whatever that is. They don't know themselves.

Unlike the ex-DDR folk craving for Russia to take care for them. There's a reason why that part of Germany turns right and votes AfD now. It's a mix of USSR nostalgia and dislike of the Western Germany because they believe they are still mistreated, 35 years on.
