United States Vice President JD Vance called on Russia on Sunday to adhere to President Donald Trump's request and "sit at the negotiating table" on the conflict in Ukraine.
Speaking to Fox News, Vance insisted that Russia is not making any gains on the battlefield and is only provoking losses in human lives.

Oh, Happy, you're a one-trick pony at this point.
I voted three times for our President Trump, and therefore once for Vice-President Vance.
Nonetheless, "Your Austrian source is always entertaining. It re-reports FOX News, but the two links inserted into the article go to other Baha pages, and not to FOX News. Clicks. It's about clicks. But not for FOX News, it turns out."
Pssst, Vance. Stop wasting everyone’s time with your performance art and virtue signalling.
“Russia is not making any gains on the battlefield”
Neither is YouCraynee.
Here’s the formulae for GDP. “Gross Domestic Product (GDP) includes consumer spending, government spending, net exports, and total investments. “
Consumer spending no longer includes people on a pension. They can barely afford food. Government spending during a war in this case is hardly good for the country as whatever they spent it on goes Boom! and doesn’t add to the real economy. Net exports are declining, and total investments include only stuff that is being built for the war effort, which is not good for the overall economy.
The health of the economy is not measured by GDP. It is measured by the number of starving people meaning those on a fixed income. (Roughly half the population.) They won’t drive the collapse. Not yet at least.
GDP of a country at war can’t be compared to the GDP of a country not at war. That would be an attempt to compare apples to pineapple grenades. Completely different animals.
So is that being on the "Trump-Vance train?"
It seems definitions here flow about in a flux and flurry.....
Here’s the formulae for GDP. “Gross Domestic Product (GDP) includes consumer spending, government spending, net exports, and total investments. “
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////
That’s a sentence, not a formula.
GDP = C(onsumption) + G(ovt Spending) + I(nvestment) + (exports - imports)
Nothing wrong with the sentence, but there is always danger using english to describe numbers.
Now then . . . the ever popular word . . . collapse . . . and how things in history always do this or that.
The Federal Reserve started 1913. History started then as other countries went in that direction for their central banks.
When you have infinite money, as a central bank does, there is no such thing as collapse. Quantitative Ease is unstoppable. Think it guarantees inflation? QE went on and on and on from 2009 to 2020 and inflation? 0.
The Soviet’s Central Bank was constrained in the 1970s-80s to only create money aligned with the Interior Ministry’s 5 yr plan. When oil price fell and they needed money to be created, they could not do it. By law.
That law has been erased. Russia cannot collapse. They have infinite money.
Quantitative easing in the United States, because the dollar is the world’s reserve currency, forced our economic problems on those others holding dollars. (Nice trick if you can do it.)
Russia can produce as much money as they want. But the problem with the Soviets wasn’t that they couldn’t print money, they did. It was that nobody wanted the money. Everyone who could was surviving the Soviet catastrophe by bartering. That’s great, so long as you have something to barter. After a while what is left to barter?
Remember -- "A '60 Minutes' episode that aired on Sunday raised eyebrows after the Minneapolis Fed President said that there is an 'infinite amount of cash.' This was said as reassurance, but many didn't interpret it that way. The Federal Reserve has been active trying to calm fears recently regarding everyday people's savings. In a recent interview on '60 Minutes' Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari assured the public that their money is safe."

Jump on the Free Republic donations train, freeploadusmaximus.
“Hey, marcus, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.”
Like a rock, deadbeatusmaximus stands against donating a cent to the forum he’s trying to disrupt with his spam.

Those other countries did their own QE. Bernanke’s QE didn’t rely on anything elsewhere. It didn’t need to. When you have infinite money you needn’t care about elsewhere.
Oh and that 60 minutes interview, maybe not the one World Traveler guy means, but the interview with Bernanke. It became famous. Went like this:
So people are saying you’re just creating money.
BB: Of course not. We’re buying bonds. That’s all we’re doing. Buying bonds.
The interviewer moved on. Did not pursue it. AND THERE WAS RAGE. How could there not be a question . . . Where did you get the money you use to buy bonds? There has always been talk that this question was asked . . . and yanked.
Overall, when you have a central bank and are self sufficient in the stuff that matters like oil, gas and food, you can’t collapse. The internal society will percolate just fine.
It’s a substance created from nothingness. It doesn’t have to make sense, but oligarch types and senior types in the Admin dare not ever accept this.
