Russia’s economy isn’t growing
oil and gas accounted for 1/3 of its revenues before the war, and half of that came from Europe
so now that Russia is shut out from Europe, its economy has basically shrunk by about 15%
and no, it’s not being made up by the meagre “sales to China” or “sales to India” ... that’s more Russian BS
like many police-state dictatorships, they cover for it by subsidizing food and gasoline prices, so it APPEARS that the economy is going well
“Russia’s economy isn’t growing”
I didn’t say their economy was growing, I said that the WORLD BANK said that Russia’s economy is growing.
If you don’t like that, make up a poster and go to DC to protest the World Bank. Otherwise quit making crap up just because your side FAILED in its attempt to bring Russia to its knees.
Rooskie GDP took an 8% hit in 2021-22 but is expected to grow .04% this year. In other words, the bottom was hit.
As with everything else w/ this war, expectations for the doom of Roosha are six months too late.
