TG, when I think of Liquid Assets it is NG and Oil. Russia is 1/7th of the world’s landmass - I doubt that they lack anything.
The guy running the show in Russia since 2000 has increased the standard of living 15x, by some accounts 10x, but at any rate the US and EU are mired in self inflected financial pain. There is a reason they reelect Putin, he has raised their standard of living.
It is not propoganda or outdated that Russia is north of 4% GDP this year, again.
Sanctions do not hurt Russia as people in the west are led to believe. Russia has historically been the most sanctioned country in the world since WWII. Russia long ago adjusted to sanctions.
Brics was a loose confederation of countries bound together by ONE SINGLE OVERRIDING LAW - No Country can Engage in Sanctions. Enter NATO Countries leadership sanctioning Russia and threatening to steal their frozen assets - the net effect of this idiotic idea has worldwide ramifications.
Today Brics is set to expand to over 100 countries. Saudi Arabia is concerned we might steal their assets. Brazil and India also have that concern. Indonesia and Thailand have expressed concern if they run afoul of the US, the EU, or Swift they too could be robbed. The EU themselves have actually stated that everytime they threaten to steal Russian Frozen Assets they are held in check by fear the rest of the world will disinvest from EUropean nations.
Trump is not simply going after China, but rather he is targeting without saying it, Brics. Biden’s lack of diplomacy allowed Brics to absorb 2/3s of the worlds population in a Barter/currency swap/metals swap scheme or BTC. Trump has to do something. Tariffs can be used not only to destroy his Western Globalist/Deep State enemies but also make those politicians around the world unelectable coupled with the impending recession. Brics is Trump’s biggest concern beyond funding the MAGA Agenda. Those 70 countries are Brics or potential next meeting memebers.
Listen to everything Trump is saying. The Secret Sauce has a special ingedrient called Brics that has the potential to break Swift and the USD as the primary reserve currency. Trump’s pivot to BTC over Gold is classic in this regard.
Trump’s has one single group of enemies all of whom are united over Ukraine against him. He is dispatching them all by walking away from Ukraine, allowing Russia to liquidate the Banks of England/France/Poland/EU and US investors aligned against him over Ukraine. They tried to kill him 3x and Trump knows coupled with the recession England, France, Poland and those EU autocrate Marxists will have be destroyed along with their economices by turning Ukraine back against them economically.
Trump is a master. I wish him well. He will not be successful in stopping the growth of Brics - Blinken and Biden put that Genie on steroids by their shortsighted decisions and lies. Trump will not end Biden’s war in Ukraine, but he will destroy all those who have attacked him becasue of Ukraine since 2015.
Trump told the world the US will have a great power sphere of influence; China their own, India there own, and Russia their own.
The EU will collaspe in Brussels within 7 years. Freedom of Speech is a major issue for England, France, the EU, Romania, Poland and Germany.
Trump has signaled by deeds and words that Ukraine will not disrupt or hold his administration hostage as his first.
Face it, Ukraine is a past issue. Trump is going to walk away. Not his war. Those who did it attacked him as viciously for opposing it in 2015-2024 as they have attacked Russia or conservatives. Ukraine will break the Globalists, the LGBT, the Facism of the World’s Socialist Marxists.
Cheap oil in the US will rule. Cheap oil for China and India will rule. Russia’s liquid asset was budgeted in 2024 budget at 60 a barrel, but they are selling more than they anticipated so their budget will not collaspe because of oil prices. Hell we can’t even shut off Iranian oil in world markets.
Russia made the decision during Biden forgoe any future dependence on trade with Europe or the US. Their aircraft engines are now being produced, microchips in 3d gen since 2022 and auto market is booming again.
About the only thing that can harm the Russian economy is becoming dependent on western sources and products again. Just likke the West, Russia has seen how good military production can be followed by the reconstruction. They plan to rebuild Ukraine without western companies for the next 30 years.
From your mail: “It is really sad that our western handlers have gone to such lengths to prevent even internal Russian government information from reaching the west.”
It is REALLY sad that this pro-Russian propaganda is being spread here.
“The guy running the show in Russia since 2000 has increased the standard of living 15x, by some accounts 10x,”
ROTFLMAO! Maybe you are referring to Putin’s standard of living.
Putin in driving Russia to ruin.
Since 2000, the ruble has lost 75% of its value against the dollar.
“It is not propoganda or outdated that Russia is north of 4% GDP this year, again.”
That number is Russian propaganda. Wartime economy supported by the government selling off gold and other liquid assets.
A lot of that GDP is wasted on the battlefield field.
“TG, when I think of Liquid Assets it is NG and Oil. Russia is 1/7th of the world’s landmass - I doubt that they lack anything.”
LOl!
The liquid assets they are selling off to support the war are gold and currency assets. Those assets are running low.
Also, those assets are comming out of their rainy day fund which is also their pension fund.
