For nearly two years, the United States and many of our allies have been imposing harsh sanctions on Russia following Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. It was an almost unprecedented example of “economic warfare” being waged at an international scale, hailed as a new alternative to traditional warfare that might result in a nuclear exchange. So how has that been working out thus far? It hasn’t budged the Kremlin one inch toward relenting in its attacks on Ukraine and life inside of Russia appears to be going on pretty much as normal aside from an excessive number of military funerals and an uptick in the arrests of people who speak out against the war. In fact, Russia’s economy is still in such good shape that they just approved their largest-ever budget with record spending going toward the military.

Biden's foreign policy is suspect. How do sanctions end up in a BOOMING RUSSIAN ECONOMY? :auiqs.jpg:

If Biden owned a cemetery, no one would die.

So Russia has a record spending budget mostly due to increased spending on armaments which are being blown up in Ukraine.

And this makes you happy...why, exactly?

It certainly makes me happy, but why does it make you happy?

Meanwhile, Russia's GDP has been declining since 2022.

You seem to be confused as to the difference between a budget and the GDP of an economy, son. Study up!

Meanwhile:

In wartime Russia, soaring prices bite as election looms


Headline inflation was 11.9% last year in Russia and this year the forecast is 7.0-7.5% - while at least 15.7 million people live below the poverty line of 14,375 roubles ($157) per month, according to official statistics.


And you thought our 3 percent inflation was bad! :lol:



 
Fun fact: When Russia builds a tank, that is counted toward their GDP, even though that tank gets blown up in Ukraine.

Pretty cool, huh?


 
Speaking of tanks, Putin has had to take Soviet-era tanks out of mothballs because his military has become that depleted.

They are more for mobile artillery and ground troop support than anything else. Their guns use HE shells that are in plentiful supply with millions in stockpiles. It makes perfect logistical sense.

But hell, the Ukes are so weak now I guess they might see more service.
 
You do know he is a DICTATOR don't you?
He can put out a report that says Anything he wants. WHOS going to stop him?

So Luisa is not only a Kremlin troll but also a “military expert” as well

Imagine how well the Russia economy would be doing if Putin did not blow up his own pipeline. (Allegedly)
