Four years after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Russian economy is showing clear signs of structural exhaustion. The contours of a genuine economic endgame are coming into view for Russia. This is the finding of a new Kiel Report published by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy and the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics.
You’re not serious. You can’t be. Nobody is this stupid and manages to make an account on lemmy. Please go away.
You’re accusing someone who practically lives right next door to Russia of not knowing how things look on the ground. My father is married to a Russian, and my mother’s grandmother was a minor nobility at the Russian tzarist court.
I believe I just might have a better understanding of the day-to-day goings-on than someone who sits and posts articles. You still haven’t answered my question, btw. What makes you such an expert on the daily life in Russia? Do you live close by, or do you sit in the US thinking you have it all figured out?
People are not stupid just because they don’t but your bullshit. Sarah Palin once claimed to be an expert of Russia due to Alaska’s proximity to Russia as well.
Day to day, sure. Nobody said that (or can you back your umpteenth straw man argument up with a QUOTE this time?)
But that doesn’t mean you understand an iota of its politics, economy, the ramifications of international sanctions or geopolitics in general. And it is blatantly obvious you don’t.
I never claimed to know anything about daily life. Where have we even discussed daily life? The only time was when I agreed with you. The discussion is about macro-economics, sanctions and war economy.
So if you claim something, quote me.
No really.

Otherwise fuck off, and leave grown ups be, you utter moron.
