Russia's economy is finished they said

[TomWanks]

So what did we accomplish for us? Russia was never a real competitor to the US, but China is, and now their factories are going to be fueled by all the base materials Russia can produce. The plan was supposed to be that Putin would be replaced by a western puppet like Zelensky, without that it seems like we're just fuking ourselves over. I mean if you really hate the Russian people so much it warms your heart to hear about them suffering then kudos, but meanwhile we've still got out of control inflation and a supply chain that is a disaster.

Yeah brah I hate the Russian people so much that I moved to Russia, learned Russian, and live in Russia. Not sure if srs.

[TaeBoNinja]

These are the internal expectations of Russian economists. Cliffs: there will be a major decline as they transition from an import economy to domestic production but it will be short term, one to two years, before returning to normal

Why do you keeping acting like you don't have bias in this?

You use a state-run Bejing article lol

[Phil9]

Is this the same Russian Central Bank that had kept the Moscow Exchange closed for the last three weeks?


And phucking LOL at Snizzel using some website called “China Global Television Network.” Holy chit lol.

[Phil9]

CGTN (formerly known as cctv-9 and cctv news) is an international english-language chinese state-run cable tv news service based beijing, Chinese. It is one of six channels provided by china global television network, owned by the Chinese state media China central television (cctv), under the control of the publicity department of the Chinese Communist Party.

lmao, Snizzel compromised as fuk.

I didnt mean you specifically, i meant 'you' as in any random person. I just dont see what we got out of this. People are celebrating the misery of the russian public like thats a big win in itself. I just dont see how harming americans is worth that

[yabbayabba]

I know right? No one has jobs, wage growth sucks, and GDP is negative.

Things look pretty bleak...lmfao

You talking about Russia or the US?

[TomWanks]

Because it is in the strategic interest of the United States that Russia be a weakened power. They push propaganda that makes this war to be a noble Ukrainian cause in order to justify the fact that the American consumer is left holding the bag for American sanctions on Russia which have zero chance (I agree with you here) of unseating Putin. Even if he were to be removed from power, which I find almost beyond the pale, the siloviki clique is not going to be uprooted by these sanctions.

The American interest is understandable, but if at the end of this war we redraw the borders of Ukraine a bit and agree that they won't join NATO, I think the west bears the brunt of the responsibility for this war. If Russia starts annexing territory, okay, it was a mutually aggressive conflict, but until then-- this war is a failure of western diplomacy. SRS.

Yeah, its just a vague global chess board win that ends up being an L after the fact. But for the average american there is a tangible cost with no tangible benefit. Which means the people happy about this either hate russians, hate americans, or are enormous retards

Time to take your meds, Snizzel.

Gas is about $2 a gallon in Moscow this morning.

So who's economy is in trouble?

Thats what i've been saying. Russians arent being told they should sell their cars and eat lentils to survive an economic war their government has imposed upon them. Maybe that is yet to come but the people telling us that are the people that have been lying through their teeth and getting everything wrong for as far back as I can remember

god you conservatives must all be poorcells. Wage inflation ain't that far from regular inflation and if spending $5/hr on gas wrecks you, that's on you. Maybe if your master hadn't cried like a baby about interest rates getting raised we'd be better positioned to combat inflation.

Idiots.

Wage growth is negative and thats using the borderline retarded calculation we adopted in the 90s. $5 a gallon gas isnt a big deal to me, but we'll see what it gets to in the future. To say nothing of food shortages, rent increases, etc.

We're talking about Russia though, stupid. If the rouble trades lower internationally but the labor cost of basic necessities in Russia remains generally stable it really seems like the average American is getting chit on by this more than the avershe russian. Thst may be a bonus for you considering how much you hate the blue collar class of Americans

Like I'd say that fighting russia without doing harm to Americans should be a priority but maybe you feel that squeezing the American working class is the whole point? How much do you hate the citizens of your own country?

Shanghai Snizzel is using CCP media as a source. How fuking embarrassing. It’s bad enough you are a bald fuk but you are also a dumbfuk.

lmfao. That's more than a days wages given what the rubble is worth now dumbass.

These shills want us to think the U.S. Dollar is their national currency. Putincels aren’t even trying anymore…

[Dave22reborn]

I'm sure struggling working Americans with families love balancing their tight budget, to afford 5 dollars a gallon.......

Looking down on the lower class again? What next? Gonna laugh at people who don't like paying 6 dollars for a gallon of premium?

Seems more like a comment on gas prices rather than the economy as a whole

I watched a couple cold weather survival videos and youtube started recommending videos about siberia. Holy chit dude, fukin can't stand outside for more than 30 minutes without literally having your bones freeze solid, even with 15 layers on
