God bless you Ma’am.
I know the media says Russia has passed unscathed through
the sanctions. They like to talk about China doing every
so much better than the U.S. too.
Neither of these nations is in a position to take over.
China has massive financial problems. It’s housing
sector is literally on the verge of collapse. Its
banking system is not on solid ground either.
As for Russia, on the surface it looks good, but the
center of it’s economy has been hollowed out. It is
not in a solid position these days.
I watched an hour report on Russia about six months
ago, and it touched on issue after issue where Russia
has been badly affected by the sanctions.
The Rubble is not on solid ground. The only way Russia
saved it, was it started paying over 20% interest to
shore it up. And then when that worked short term,
everyone jumped on the band wagon and praised the
Rubble as if it survived because it was a better
risk than the dollar.
If you wish to buy into all that, be my guest.
Russia can’t get parts for its aging fleet of
aircraft, in the private sector. New aircraft, parts,
are beyond its reach now.
That’s the sort of thing that has affected many of
the private sector companies in Russia.
“Russia now has gold backed currency and no debt.”
Russian currency is a fiat currency, same as ours. Though, Putin does talk about making the ruble gold backed. This is idle talk, in my opinion.
Oh you like those international agencies??😂😂😂
Here is a great read for you and everyone on how Obama set this all in motion.

They cannot make proper ball bearing for their trains under carriages. They were importing them. From Germany or Europe. These are now embargoed. Though Russians are not stupid, they might find ways of getting them. Via Kazakhstan middle man is one possibility.
I read one account that 10% of Russian trains are idled due to this (fwiw)
Russia had radiation sickness casualties at Chernobyl by having soldiers sleep in trenches. The Nuclear fallout will disable and kill a lot of Russian soldiers.
Using a nuclear device then sending mobilized troops through the danger zone is going to get lots of Russians dead and keep their portable crematoriums busy.
The Daily Mail!
Zeepers 😂
So Russia breaks through a serious red line by using battlefield nukes. What weakness this shows. That their stronk like bull army is a complete failure. A paper tiger.
What a joke the West is with our global warming paranoia. Use of nuclear weapons is the real threat.
Tis a dangerous game. We push and push....they threaten and push back. The bluster on either or both sides can get out of hand.
They have other weapons I think they like better. Waiting on the 5th.
Putin is doing great things for Russia. /s
The threat of using a nuclear weapon is of more value than actually using a nuclear weapon.
October 5th? We shall see. So Europe freezes this winter. This will make them stronger and more difficult for Vlad to deal with.
What’s really going on is that Putin’s unnecessary invasion is putting Russia into an economic depression. Europe too. 2019 was a very good year. No Covid19 pandemic and no invasion of Ukraine.
A poster north of you said the same.
Thank you
Ps. The last sentence should read. We are NOT part of the collective.
All that and I edited it wrong. Well, I did say I wasn’t well lol.
Wall street is booming!!!!
It’s only downhill for Russia from here. It’s military is being torn to pieces in Ukraine and its economy is suffocating. But from the Kremlin’s fan club that denial isn’t just a river in Egypt.
