• Russia's economy is growing but headed for big trouble, researchers wrote in a recent article.

• They pointed to Russia's outsized military spending, which has come at the cost of its private sector.

• Russia's finances look rocky in other areas as well, thanks partly to Western sanctions.

Dang, I’m glad I finished my ice-cream sandwich about 6 minutes ago. I didn’t want it to be on my screen or keyboard.

Those stupid Russians should take a cue from America and operate with a balanced budget instead of burying themselves in trillion of rubles debt.

Wait!

What?

Never mind.

TOTALLY not gaslight-y or anything like that.

No projection at all. It's like being caught in a truthiness flood.

Zeepers gotta zeep.

Russia is the richest and best armed nation on the planet.

*** “Russian forces have been cut off south of the Reka Seym, and are completely surrounded with the pontoon bridges under heavy attack, and all paths of retreat destroyed.

This is a major Victory for Ukraine, as they drive forward crushing the weakened brigade and securing a very strong redoubt on their western flank.

Meanwhile the Kerch crossing continues to be set a blaze after an explosion earlier today destroyed and sank the last railroad ferry that is operating in the Kerch strait, a serious blow to Russian logistics.

The airfield in Marinovka has been seriously damaged by last night’s airstrike. Meanwhile Ukraine announced a new offensive in the Kharkiv Oblast.”

Ok so we are spending hugely. All of it is additive to the US debt. Russia is literally trading products for oil gas and gold which it has in abundance. It’s economy is growing. It has very little debt. And there are plenty of jobs. The war has been going on for about three years and everyone has been saying that Russia can’t do what Russia is doing. They say that BRICS will never work but a hundred new countries want to join. So, is Russia in trouble. Not sure how you defend that. They are better off now than when the war started. They control more of Ukraine now. And Ukraine has run out of men to fight. This war is done. Russia won.

Yep. Russian job growth was revised downwards by 800K over previous figures over the last year. Ooops, those numbers were from some other lying government.
