I was talking of the overall view on FR. To me that is so frustrating. This economy overall living is awful in the west right now. It’s seems more relevant that the state of the Russian economy. Pure diversion. Most people here probably couldn’t name 10 Russian cities or describe popular trends currently going on among Russian youths because no one really cares about what’s going on in Russia. You may be right, people are living it so don’t post about it but it seems crazy to me.
Are you under any kind of restriction by the moderators that prevents you from posting articles? If not then post the articles you wish to see.
Meanwhile the shortcomings of the Russian economy are part and parcel relevant to the matter of Russia’s war against Ukraine in which Russia has been issuing near daily nuclear threats at forty or fifty different countries.
Russia’s petroleum industry grinding to a halt due to a lack of Western tech is welcome news to me. The Russians will freeze this winter, their military will run out of gas, and their mobile missile launchers won’t be quite so mobile.
