More evidence is piling up that Russia's military-industrial complex is nearing the brink after nearly three years of fighting in Ukraine.
President Vladimir Putin mobilized the economy for Russia's invasion, resulting in massive amounts of state funds for defense contractors along with low unemployment as working-age people build weapons in factories or serve on the front lines.
But that also stoked inflation, which has hit 9% and even forced Putin to acknowledge that it's "alarming." Russia's central has hiked its benchmark rate to 21% to rein in prices, but businesses are feeling the strain of all that monetary tightening.
In recent months, leaders in the defense industry and adjacent sectors that are critical to the war machine have sounded alarms.
The head of state arms giant RosTec warned that if rates stayed high, "then practically a majority of our enterprises will go bankrupt." The owner of Russian steel giant Severstal said it's more profitable for businesses to scale back operations and park their money in interest-bearing deposits. And the head of the Chelyabinsk Forge and Press Plant said at an economic forum that key areas of mechanical engineering could "collapse."

At least all the unemployed workers can now be sent to the giant meat grinder and do their patriotic duty to die for Putin.
Unfortunately, this story could also just be propaganda by the globalists to keep the war going, by making the arguement the war can be won if it lasts just a little bit longer and gets a few billion dollars injected into it, and ultimately into the pockets of the globalists.
Just BS.
One way they can end the war in Ukraine is to continue to replace tanks they've lost in the war. That will prevent the factories from going idle.
Basically all of it is, both sides. Consequently, millions have died to enrich both sides.
Apparently you are either mistaken or an idiot. I have never called for nuclear war with anyone. This is just another example of Putler Youth making $#/+ up out of the blue to try to score points and slavishly serve their master.
Now that unconventional war is all the rage, wouldn’t be interesting if the Chicoms started to destabilize Russia economically and send over “immigrants” into Siberia for living space. They could do what’s been done in Europe and US. After enough of them have crossed over, China would have the pretext to protect them.
Russia is very overextended. Its population is smaller than Bangladesh and its GDP is less than Canada. It’s not a unified militaristic state as was Prussia.
IMO, Siberia is potentially worth more to China in the future than Taiwan in terms of land and natural resources.
Putin is a thug, Xi is a thug. Hitler and Stalin were thugs, they had a pact until Hitler invaded Russia.
Marcus? Is that you?
Can’t they just print money like we can?
Funny, isn’t it? They are not interested in the truth or debate. Anything negative to Russia or Putin and they start screaming ZEEPER!! PROPAGANDA!!
And I never see them post anything to refute or support their position.
True, Russia still has its role in Biblical prophecy. It will survive....Russia has ten percent of earth’s land mass; it ain’t going nowhere...
I don’t think you guys ever played Chess.
What is going on is to wear Russia down.
in Conventional warfare.
They have Nukes so you can’t kill them off
but you can disrupt their society so much
that you have time to rebuild and they cannot.
Think population and number of effective trained
workers and soldiers.
Just wait until Trump turns all the oil production on back here. Russia and Iran will go totally bankrupt.
May it be so!
And you are just another example of a mindless robot programmed by the Obama/Axelrod brainwashing operation.

The permission structure machine that Barack Obama and David Axelrod built to replace the Democratic Party was in its essence neither modern nor conservative, though. Rather it is totalitarian in its essence, a device for getting people to act against their beliefs by substituting new and better beliefs through the top-down controlled and leveraged application of social pressure, which among other things eliminates the position of the spectator.
Thus the mindless "If you are against the Ukraine war you are a Putinista" demagoguery.
I find the Russia/Ukraine threads fascinating. It’s like watching two opposing AI’s in rhetorical combat.
just one more push and the whole rootn edifice will fall and then it will be springtime for Zeepers an NAFO ‘fellas’.
