According to the mathematician [Immanuel Niven], the "Putin system" is beginning to collapse, exactly what he predicted mathematically already in March: "The announced drastic tax increases in Russia (the highest tax increases in the history of modern Russia) as well as Putin's recently published slogans (according to which "everyone must work as if they were at the front") are dramatic signs that the toxicity of the Russian war economy is reaching a critical level."
In a post on X some days ago, he explained what this 'toxicity' means: "If the cost of replacing material losses (in such a way that the speed of replacement is in balance with the speed of losses) is no longer within the scope of the financing of the state budget, then a system becomes unfinanceable. This unfinanceability is toxic for a system because it causes the system to collapse in the medium term (unless the war is won)."
Niven explains further that Russia is familiar with this type of toxicity: "The USSR collapsed when the costs of the arms race (pushed by US President Ronald Reagan) could no longer be financed from the state budget, which led to the collapse of the state." ...

Golly, it’s almost as if they’re saying that Russia invading Ukraine itself is reason to spend money to defend Ukraine!
So, is it your opinion that Russia isn’t really almost doubling the income tax rate on middle and upper classes, or is it your opinion that that doing so is harmless?
It wasn’t that obscure a reference. Coincidentally, I was talking about the Caine Mutiny just this morning, apropos of some strawberries we had in the fridge.
Everybody over 50 knows that movie, c'mon.
Meanwhile, Russia's economy keeps growing and is now the fourth largest in the world:

And this fresh data shows how Russia actually overtook Japan to become the world’s fourth largest economy in terms of PPP-based GDP in 2021, while also managing to stay on number four ever since.

A couple of months ago, you copied us on a message (see below) you sent to the Robinsons. The message said you were leaving FR because you were no longer having fun due to pro-America FReepers.
Well, you’re still here whining away like a little girl, telling Americans what to do.
Please keep your word and go away.

This is a good example of why FR is dying
FR used to be fun, positive, something to look forward to
Now it’s just rampant bullying and personal insults every day - and you do nothing about it
So good people quietly leave ... with their donations
Look, it’s your site, if you want to turn Free Republic into “Free Russia”, just keep doing nothing
But then make sure you hit up the Russia cheerleaders for your donations (funny, we never see their names on the donor board)
Go ahead, flame me, I don’t care ... I’m on my way out of FR too, it’s not fun anymore

Serious cope.
What the war is really about :
600,000 dead Ukrainian boys so that they can hang on to office.
Russia’s GDP is increasing, oil revenues just broke a new high, Putin and Xi just signed more deals…..Brics is establishing a gold back currency……and they expect us to believe they are crumbling?
The West’s GDP continues to languish, debt spiraling to unheard of levels ( unpayable) and now default is not if, but when?
Sorry, I am not buying into the corrupt Western narrative …
