Russia is the largest commodity supplier on earth. The world will always need food, fertilizer, oil/gas, timber, metals, etc. Russia is a major exporter of all of the above. If the West doesn’t want to buy the commodities listed above, somebody else always will.

Western sanctions, launched in response to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in February, have wounded Russia’s long-term economic prospects. Blocking the world’s ninth-largest economy from accessing foreign technology and expertise has cut its growth potential by as much as half, forecasts suggest. Output of oil and gas, the lifeblood of the Russian economy, is about 3% lower than it was before the invasion and may fall further once European embargoes come into effect at the turn of the year. In the first six months of the war somewhere in the region of 250,000 to 500,000 Russians fled the country, reckons Liam Peach of Capital Economics, a consultancy. Lots were highly educated and well paid.

” The British magazine The Economist drew attention to the improvement of the economic situation in Russia, while Europe is teetering on the brink of a deep recession. “

That Putin guy is EVERYWHERE. Now, out of the blue, he just took over the Economist and is forcing them at gunpoint to print Russian propaganda.

Thankfully, us Ukraine supporters have CNN to find out the TRUTH about what’s going on in Ukraine, along with why that war started - which was because Putin was bored the morning of Feb 24th, so he decided to attack another country, out of the blue.

I know the truth because I trust CNN, not the Putin-run Economist...just like I trusted CNN on vaccines, Trump collusion with Russia, the 2020 election being the cleanest ever, and everything else they report on.

I’m following your posts since you’re posting excellent info.

I found a short clip referencing this book which names the US as an enemy to France.
