In 2014 they said he had Asperger’s,

In 2021 they pulled another one from their @ss: psychopath, https://www.businessinsider.com/bill-browder-vladimir-putin-psychopath-since-childhood-2022-6.
Of course that was all factual and western censors let that stand.
No propaganda on our side. Just factual “news.”
I had never heard that before. What’s the purpose do you think?
We’re far worse off because so many here believe what the see on the news.
I’m pretty sure Russians believe nothing they see.
Oil and gas “sold at a discount” means less cash for Russia. In addition, due to sanctions, Russia no longer gets the imports of technology and specialized products needed to keep her economy functioning properly. Meanwhile, the war is consuming cash, troops, and military equipment at an unsustainable rate.
That's cool, because Russia doesn't use the worthless U.S. dollar anyway.
In addition, due to sanctions, Russia no longer gets the imports of technology and specialized products needed to keep her economy functioning properly.
The sanctions are having zero effect on Russia.
Meanwhile, the war is consuming cash, troops, and military equipment at an unsustainable rate.
Russia has only utilized a fraction of their manpower and military arsenal. Drawing out the war and bleeding the U.S. dry has always been their strategy.
How you people can continue to cheerlead for our pathetic, corrupt buffoons in D.C. & in NATO is beyond me.
Baghdad Bob was more credible. And he doesn't have 7 cats and drinks boxed wine alone in a studio apartment.
The International Monetary Fund's latest world economic outlook jacks up the agency's forecast for Russian GDP growth in 2024 to 2.6%, from the 1.1% it was seeing back in October.
I am sure that China gives the Russians all that they need. We should have made Russia and ally against China by Kissinger the vampire wanted to grow China’s power.

Interesting comment from Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the IMF:
Russia has successfully transitioned to a “war economy” in which state spending on the military is crowding out other forms of economic growth. This mirrors the economic model of the late Soviet Union, Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the IMF, told CNBC.
“If you look at Russia, today, production goes up [for the] military, [and] consumption goes down,” she said. “And that is pretty much what the Soviet Union used to look like.
High level of production, low level of consumption.”
Then why is Russia shipping oil and gas at all? If you are correct then they shouldnt bother. They should never had bothered, ever. Im just being silly here, to put a point on your assertion.
The Russian economy is not an autarky (like the North Koreans wanted to be). It has to import vast quantities of stuff from abroad, and it has to pay in dollars. And there is no BRICS “out” here. The Russians wont take rupees from the Indians and the Chinese wont take rubles.
China does not “give”, it sells.
>Interesting comment from Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the IMF:<
Ms. Georgieva helped shape the agenda of the EU while serving as European Commission Vice President for Budget and Human Resources. In this capacity she oversaw the EU’s €161 billion (US $175bn) budget and 33,000 staff, as well as the EU’s response to the Euro Area debt crisis and the 2015 refugee crisis. Before that, she was Commissioner for International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response, managing one of the world’s largest humanitarian aid budgets.
Ms. Georgieva began her career in public service at the World Bank as an environmental economist in 1993. After serving for 17 years, and in many senior positions, including Director for Sustainable Development, Director for the Russian Federation, Director for Environment, and Director for Environment and Social Development for the East Asia and Pacific Region...

Georgieva is a greenie globalist.
Just like mommy and the rest of the zeepers.
GDP goes up in a war economy.
Military expenditure counts as GDP.
The peak GDP “growth” the US ever saw was in 1943, 17%
The peak for Germany, also in 1943, 10.3%
LOL!!! 🤣
Russia’s greatest threat lies to the East, not the West. Putin’s folly with Ukraine has/will weaken Russia sufficiently to make its resource rich and thinly populated East a very attractive target for China . An invasion of Taiwan would be fraught with risk for China, but who would come to Russia’s aid if they decided to take some of Russia’s Eastern territory?
Three questions for mommy:
What happened to your daily prayer request for Ukraine?
When will one of your fellow zeepers appear on this thread to post some unreferenced links to your boss Denys’ monetized YouTube channel?
Did you check to see if this article was already posted by someone else before you posted it?
On another site, I just read how great the Russian economy is doing. I don’t know who to believe.
This is why I don’t donate to the site. Anti First Amendment.
