Russian food prices are soaring — but no one dares blame Putin and the war
CNBC ^ | 11/25/2024 | Holly Ellyat

Russian food inflation remains rampant, with butter prices rising 30% since December last year. Sunflower oil and vegetables are among the other items seeing ongoing price rises.

Russia's central bank last month hiked interest rates to 21% — their highest level in over 20 years — but the high rates have shown few signs of dampening inflation so far.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has denied that Russia has exchanged "butter for guns," as the country's leadership has deflected blame for price rises onto "unfriendly" countries.

"To say we spend too much money for guns and forget about butter — this is not so. I would like to underscore that all, exactly all the earlier announced plans of development and achievement of strategic objectives and all the social commitments assumed by the state towards the population — all of them are being performed to the full extent," Putin said at a plenary session of the Valdai Discussion Club in October, TASS news agency reported.

Fear not, Putin like Hamas will pull the Marxist Earth Citizen card and our fools in American courts revising history will make us pay whatever they lost...

This is the New New Deal of the crazy Obama world rulers parasites of WEF and what not, never letting a crisis go to waste...

Putin so strong, he wont even admit he has dreams on nuking BRIC nations leaving the deal like Ukraine did... He is strong in meekness indeed but it works in the third world that inhabits blackmailed Tucker’s head.

Putin’s silly nuke threats went over like a lead balloon with the oligarchs who really rule Russia.

I believe the Russia trolls should think about what they are supporting. Putin doesn’t care about anything except himself and his position.

The Russian trolls are beginning to realize that President Trump isn’t going to throw a victory parade for Putin after January 20th.

oh, he cares about russian trolls ... in so much they recruit idiots for his meat grinder, nuking threats at neighbors leaving the deal.

Marxists from India and Nepal are still slow on the uptake. China could pull Nazi-Soviet pact breaking with them and should but they too are stuck on some stupid of symbolically taking what Trump did to Ukraine there.

Symbolics are important to the scammer if anything.

* and the symbolics of what Russia is doing to Ukraine, China is swallowing too

Right now my bet is a Taiwan invasion followed perhaps by Putin taking his chances up and doing to China what Hitler had done to Russia in the meantime, if he had any brains...
