The figures show a collapse in the aggressor country's economic performance. After 4.5% GDP growth in the fourth quarter of 2024, a sharp slowdown began: the indicator fell to 1.4% in the first quarter of 2025, then to 1.1% in the second quarter, and in the third quarter it was only 0.6%.

The falling price of oil is hurting Russia and its economy.

Incredibly, there was a FReeper earlier today on a recent thread trying to tell me the falling price of oil will not be a detriment to Putin and his warmongering aspirations. It takes lots of money to fight a war, folks.

We've been hearing this almost FOUR YEARS.

It's not Russia that is completely dependent on other nations for oil and gas and other rare earths. It's the EU that is.

I bet these economic statistics are every bit as reliable as those the Fed produces.

A decade huh? Not a year, not a lustrum; Not 9 years or 11 years; Not a vicennial, but a DECADE. I wonder how these guys determined how long the stagflation period would be.

Modern warfare is powered by lots of oil also. There are no viable alternatives. Cheaper oil is cheaper combat. Money is a just a pretend representation of energy, which Russia has plenty of.

Russia’s growth rate has disastrously declined to match the EU’s growth rate.
