ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!!
(((PING!)))
Join and laugh at the Zeepers!!
It was the leading supplier of oil & gas to Europe, with lots of hard-currency Euros flowing in ... that's all gone now, and ain't coming back
Plus, the costs of rebuilding destroyed Russsian refineries, factories, power plants, and the Black Sea Flotilla
What a giant mistake for Russia Putin's invasion was!
One thing for sure. Regardless of who wins there, with the amount of money we have dumped into that war, our debtor nation has already lost and we will have nothing to show for it. This is money Biden could have out to better use to globally pay off everyone’s student loans. That theatre arts major in Somalia will thank him.
Ukraine looked like a pushover. His compliant intelligence sources told him it was.
The U.S. President Biden showed himself to be weak and incompetent. He appeared to give Putin the go-ahead, with his famous "as long as Russia doesn't take too much" line.
NATO and the USA had done nothing as he gradually grabbed more of the former USSR back into Russian control.
It all went spiraling into the toilet when the Ukrainians refuse to follow the program, fought back with everything at their disposal, and halted the Russian blitzkrieg.
The West, startled by what it saw, felt compelled to support Ukraine, for their own defense.
Here we are, in a quagmire.
“Put simply, the war against Ukraine is now the main driver of Russia’s economic growth”
Which just goes to show that whatever measure of economic growth they are using is BS.
What a giant mistake for Russia Putin’s invasion was!
It’s as if they shot themselves in the paw. 🐾
Sounds like Bidenomics to me.

It’s STILL the leading supplier of oil and gas to Europe. They just blend it offshore with 5% oil or gas from another country and call it non-Russian energy and pay twice the price.
Neither can we.
Which means.. we all are going down.
I thought you finally did the right thing like you proclaimed you were going to do and disappeared after your embarrassing clown show tirade and insults to the boss here. 🤡

Few people in human history were as set as he was when he became Russia’s leader.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia was poised to enter the world once again, but this time as a good neighbor and friend, and not as a conqueror and promoter of communism, Satan’s religion.
And, for a nice long time, Putin seemed to be fulfilling prophecy and leading Russia to that new place of prominence in the world as a good neighbor and friend and the world was happy to welcome Russia back, too! Good times!!
Ah, but then Putin went back on the bottle, getting drunk on Satan’s Soviet poison once again, just like they did last century!
And, just like last century, in his ego’s drunken stupor, Putin sent his army to kill his neighbors and break their stuff and steal there country.
And so, here we are and it’s deja vu all over again. “SSSDD”: “Same Soviet sh!t, different day”.
And, this time it will end the same way as it did the last time, with the implosion of the Russia.
All that was good is lost now, because Putin’s ego pissed it all away. D’oh!! What a fool!!!
Before the war, Russia was in long-term population decline.
Then they decided to kill the fertile men on the battle field.
Reality walks up slowly, carrying a big stick.
Why are you still here?
You PROMISED us you were leaving...

This is a good example of why FR is dying
FR used to be fun, positive, something to look forward to
Now it’s just rampant bullying and personal insults every day - and you do nothing about it
So good people quietly leave ... with their donations
Look, it’s your site, if you want to turn Free Republic into “Free Russia”, just keep doing nothing
But then make sure you hit up the Russia cheerleaders for your donations (funny, we never see their names on the donor board)
Go ahead, flame me, I don’t care ... I’m on my way out of FR too, it’s not fun anymore

Actually, all other sources say the Russian economy is fine. This is another faux piece trying to make it look like sanctions are hurting the Russkies, when they only hurt the Euros.
Instead, Russia's economy is growing faster than our economy and almost any other in the West.
Two years, we heard the Russia was running out of ammo and missiles. Instead, Russia is outproducing the entire Western world in producing ammo and missiles.
< We were told Putin was dying of stomach, blood and thyroid cancer or that he was already dead and Russia was using a body double in his place for the past two years. Yet, he is still alive and well and about to be sworn in for seventh term in office.
You and your pitiful sources have been consistently wrong, spewing out propaganda that would be too ridiculous for a Babylon Bee propagand and would make Baghdad Bob blush.
Take your propaganda and shove it up Justin Trudeau' behind>

Saying anything for a quote, economist calls mom....I did it!
"A protracted stalemate might be the only solution for Russia to avoid total economic collapse," Foucart wrote. "The Russian regime has no incentive to end the war and deal with that kind of economic reality. So it cannot afford to win the war, nor can it afford to lose it. Its economy is now entirely geared towards continuing a long and ever deadlier conflict."Yeah right.
“ The nation is now short around 5 million workers…”
Coincidentally, there are lots of excess workers in nearby countries, like Germany, Sweden, France, Italy, and the UK.
