According to the results of January-July, sales of Russian plants decreased by 10.9%, to 127.7 billion rubles, in most segments production in pieces decreased.

In Soviet Russia, you have to read between the lines on official data to understand what is happening in the economy. The last time you saw orders for tractors mysteriously plummet, the USSR fell apart. Communists in the West and Russia I am sure will have good explanations why everything is fine.

Have they forgotten the ways of the USSR?

These days, a tractor can be driven by GPS.

GPS makes machinery more expensive, and anything that doesn't need a human to operate means more people in the unemployment rolls Can Russia afford more unemployed and poor people?

If they’ve got unemployed people, they can train tractor drivers.

You mean that, unemployed people can train tractor drivers how to be unemployed?

Your English is very atrocious, or you can't communicate effectively.

Sure,

Right after the Ruble collapses, their rail system collapses, Putin is thrown out of office or assassinated...

Dude, stop it with the wishful thinking and shock and awe headlines.

It’s easy to concoct some connection and pretend like it has some real importance.

The Stomp Ukraine military draft probably didn’t help. If there are fewer men to drive the tractors there will be fewer tractors bought.

“Ah, Dmitri, come in. Good news! We got the results of your aptitude tests back. They indicate that you’d be a wonderful driver of either a tank, or a tractor! What’s that? A tractor driver? Excellent!”

Aptitude to be a tractor driver?

Well, that kind of aptitude requires much more brain power than the kind of aptitude you have for kissing Putin.s ass. Must be a full-time job, and Putin pays you well and with job security. I heard nobody does it better than you.

Biden is and always was mentally challenged, so, it's doubtful hat he or anybody like him would have the mental aptitude to make all you Putin supporters get so deranged and stupid.

Most GReepers are good people, the Putin supporting FReepers are very few, and lack the mental capacity to understand me.
