Four years after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Russian economy is showing clear signs of structural exhaustion. The contours of a genuine economic endgame are coming into view for Russia. This is the finding of a new Kiel Report published by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy and the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics.
Ok? Cherry picking much?
That’s not the conclusion they reached, is it? That’s the observation they’re making upon which they base their conclusions. The conclusion they all reached is that it will have major impacts at some undefined point in the future. But that is inconvenient for the point you’re trying to make.
And Deripaska, still, really? He only cares about his own pockets.
And I guess the editor is so far up his own ass, that he didn’t realize Russia has been in a recession since end of 2025?
LOL, these are literally in the titles of the articles. Except for the bonus one, which is the last sentence, in the last paragraph of the one with the headline.
You won’t stop trying, will you? Hilarious man!
Is a recession the same as being out of money?
And I thought questions were forbidden…
My condolences for having been in a coma for 20 years.
Here a development that happened to media while you were out to help your media literacy catch up to 2026
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clickbait
Hahaha so let me get this straight:
I said I will believe it when I see it, since I have seen people say things like the headline of this article for years
You: nah you haven’t.
I show you a bunch of headlines saying things like the headline of this article.
And your defense is: “click bait exists” ??
Hahahahaha just when I thought you couldn’t get any dumber –or more entertaining
no you didn’t. Don’t lie.
Also I never replied to that comment of yours, I commented to your Von der Leyen quote which you implied to be incorrect.
lol you dumbass read my initial comment on this article.
Yep, it was wildly premature to claim such a thing. And the data afterwards of the Russian economy hanging on for years have shown that.
Guess what I quoted above you illiterate clown
So you finally answered my initial question, amazing. Took for fucking ever.
No her claim was factual, dumbass.
You just read “will drain Russia’s economy” and understand “will immediately lead to a meltdown of Russia’s economy”
Don’t blame others for your illiteracy
Mate, you’ve shown time and time again that you don’t understand what is said.
Don’t quote it. Read it.
Ahhhh, so you were… how you say it… “just asking questions”?
And how many questions of mine have you not answered. My question to you was the answer dumbass. You could have figured it out for yourself. The sanctions were intended to drain the economy so much that Russia couldn’t continue fighting
And yes, she was wrong, as they were at their third sanction package at the time of that statement. They needed 17 (!) more to add on top of those. So no, those three packages in 2022 were not in fact draining the Russian economy, let alone the war machine.
Also, what you don’t get is the simple fact it was just one example. I’ve shown you a whole bunch more after that which you tried and failed to pick apart.
So yeah, I think you’re still very much the dumbass here :)
Sorry, better go look for that pink flying elephant up there.
Sure, let’s do that.
no mention of the word “headline”
no mention of the word “headline”
no mention of the word “headline”
huh
yeah, not engaging in your gish gallop
no
no, and that’s not what Von der Leyen said either.
That’s your wishful thinking based on incorrect understanding. Again, don’t blame others for your illiteracy.
There was discussion back in 2022 about what can and can’t be achieved with sanctions. And it was constantly reiterated that it would take years to have major economic impacts as Russia wears out industrial machinery beyond its useful lifetime, and burns through its substantial monetary reserves. The only short term hope was that the Russian elite would have more power and force Putin’s hand to protect their wealth.
So if you were one of the idiots who didn’t listen back then that it would take years, and then misinterpreted every clickbait headline as a factual statement about the immediate collapse of the Russian economy that’s on you. Maybe stick to simpler topics.
Since you’re still on about this, yes, I admit I was wrong about this.
I assumed you were informed on the subject matter and were “just asking questions” to push an agenda.
But turns out you were trying to employ the Socratic method. Which requires a deep understanding of the subject matter, which of course you lack. You’re just an idiot who doesn’t understand how economies work and who takes clickbait headlines as fact.
Me accusing you of “just asking questions” was giving you orders of magnitude more credit than you deserve.
