“Whether you like it, or not, history is on our side. We will bury you,” he said quoting former USSR leader Nikita Khrushchev.

Russian politician Dmitry Medvedev said on Tuesday Russia could have a right to go to war with NATO.

    IMF says Russian economy will grow by 1.5% in 2023 - https://www.imf.org/en/Countries/RUS

    For comparison, their projection for UK is 0.4%, US 1.8%, and Germany should drop by 0.3%. Yeah, sorry, Russia is doing fine.

    Is it a good enough source for you? Do you need more sources? I can give more.

      US GDP: $76339 per capita. x1.8% = 1374.102
      UK GDP $45850 per capita x 0.4% = 183.4
      RUS GDP $15607 per capita x 1.5% = 234.11

      RU can expect growth, but their GDP is still shit. 1.5% growth puts the UK economy at just under 3x the Russian one. I know which currency I’d trust more and where (all other things being equal, which they’re not) I’d invest.

        It’s not about your investment. The reality is that the war doesn’t have any negative impact on Russia at the moment. And if the oil war will continue to progress the way it goes right now, the Russian economy will only get better.

        We need to think about other measures if we want to help Ukraine, because sanctions don’t do shit.

          I disagree with your assessments - Russia is experiencing negative impact on a national level (they just grew NATO!) and on the personal level. Sanctions could be working better but are still effective, nonviolent methods to effect change. Add other measures to them, sure, but don’t take them away as some sanctions (including older legislation like the Magnitsky act) target the exact people being dicks.

            That’s not my assessment. Russia is doing ok, that’s just a fact.

      1.5% of zero is still zero. It’s like you practice being this stupid.

          No, it’s basic mathematics. But you’re too simple for even simple maths.
