    Fun fact, as of last I checked the Russian interest rate was 19% and rising. This will not help.

        Yeah, exactly. At some point you have to think people will stop borrowing from the government entirely, and then the central bank is in the equivalent of an airplane stall - they can pull the lever all they want, but nothing will happen. When that actually happens is a question for a real economist.

    Well, today I learned Russia is converting dinosaur juice into 6,200 disposable soldiers each month. That’s depressing as fuck.

      More if you count maimed and disfigured. And that excludes the Ukranians he actively hurts with this.

      Ok but consider that you can turn the soldiers back into juice afterwards. It’s not great fuel but it’s decent lubricant.

      Think those are rookie numbers, they’re hitting 1k days pretty often.

      But yeah, we gotta pump those numbers up.

      They need the houthis gone and Iran stopped, that doesn’t happen till Russia gives up.

      Russia is trying to set the middle east on fire to pull support from Ukraine, and the middle east is where the saudis keep all their stuff.

      They want $100 a barrel. Russia is selling too much at say $90 a barrel. If the Saudis flood the market so it’s only $80 a barrel, it will really fuck Russia’s shit up.

      Saudis are hoping Russia starts playing their game with the price fixing.

      Are we still doing the Genocide Joe thing? I thought people like you had moved on to “Holocaust Harris” or whatever.

        We’re going to keep doing the Genocide Joe thing until Donald Trump has the nuclear codes

          “Until?”

          You’re hoping for a Trump victory?

          You like the idea of additional genocides on top of the ones already going on?

              Check their comment history. It’s the latter.

                It’s the former. Anyone checking your history would be able to see a pattern of bad faith misinterpretation of other people’s comments, so I’m going to assume that’s what’s going on here, too.

      All the same, right? Silly stance!
