The Russian economy is not doing well.

They even released numbers on Tass that weren’t good.

Anyone who claims otherwise is wrong.

They have enormous pay issues and

Most of their soldiers aren’t getting paid nor are death benefits or injuries being taken care of. Early on it was a lada. Now it’s a set of towels.

When they burn a billion a month in missiles that are shot down by cheaper and more effective weapons it’s not a winning proposition.

The war costs them approximately 900 million euros per day.

That’s not something they can afford.

They’re like a chained pitbull you have to point at the enemy and let them go, then run away and hope they cause as much damage as possible and none of it is to you.

Russia's top five in every major economic category, Actually their economy is kicking a** and the percent of g d p on the war is nil.

A month after launching the SMO the Ruble was up 45%.

I remember when the Russian government declared that all energy purchases had to be paid in the Russian currency. In an attempt to ridicule the Russian government the news anchor on Norwegian public television said: "..., but there aren't that many Rubles in circulation."

That begs the following supply and demand question: What happens to something that has a limited supply and an unlimited demand?

Why, it skyrockets in price, of course.

Which again begs the other supply and demand question: What happens to something with unlimited supply that has a declining demand like the US Dollar?

How is it doing now?

Not so well.

Russia has been invaded this year twice. Putins the first Russian dictator to ever have that happen.

Belgorod held a referendum and wants to become independent. To stop it’s warmongering ways it needs to cede belgorod and Kursk oblast for peace.

They also don’t forget how we have been stopping them from conquering free people like their former colonies.

They don’t like that at all.

“I can’t invade any genocide my neighbors!!? This is outrageous!”

You really have no idea on the negative impact on Russia economy.

You are merely repeating limp Putinoid propaganda.

Russia can’t even beat Ukraine

If you want a city devastated, large amounts of war crimes, mass graves of civilians, blown up apartments, and stolen toilets and alcohol yes.

Russia is on day 467 of its 3 day war and still no end in sight. The terror bombing isn’t working and Ukraine just launched some more probing attacks that are breaking through the Russian lines

We did beat Korea.

Look at north and South Korea. There is a massive difference.

53k American lives saved a nation and today they are still grateful and help us out a lot

If that's what you consider winning, good luck. Noticed you didn't mention Vietnam who whipped our ass, kicked us out and NOW is a major trading partner. You guys have no clue what these war games are really about and thus are just part of the pogrom that killed millions of Vietnamese and God knows how many Ukrainians will die because of the pogrom proxy war you love to support. I seriously doubt you even have the capacity to wake up.

If we didn’t support Ukraine millions of Ukrainians would die again, just like 1932-33. The Ukrainians want to keep their sovereignty and nation and not be erased from the earth by a madman.

Surrendering makes folks safer? Interesting.

Maybe we should just cut a deal with Biden. He will honor this agreement. Right?

You already work for Biden. But frankly, I don't have much stock in your ability to see the future. Sorry

There are a bunch of people here who work for Biden. A lot of fed employees came here for relief and help

When the mandates came down.

And guess what?

He’s your president and you pay taxes to

Him.

The past Repeats itself.

Russia did this exact scenario

100 years ago when it invaded all of Eastern Europe with the intent to make

It to Germany but was stopped in Poland

You're really going to upset all those who bought the party line Russia is doing economically great.

I know your data is accurate and I've read some of this data recently but I doubt Mr. Childers will reverse his stated policy that Putin's leadership is proven with the great Russian economy today.

Except he's wrong, again.

Well duh...I'm referrring to Dylan Mulvaney, the transvestite freak that Jeff has written about many times. Maybe you should go back and read a few comment threads, but I'll spare you the trouble. You and your furry friend Horsey are both just as legitimate as Dylan's boobs, so I've decided to call you that. Horsey is Dylan Boob #1, or simply Dylan's Left Boob. You, my overpaid and underwitted troll, are Dylan's Boob #2, or simply Dylan's Right Boob. If you need further information, look up the phrase, "as useless as tits on a boar hog."

I didn't say NATO is 'bad.' Why would you think that? Nazis are preferable to transvestites, all day long. Makes you wonder what books were actually being burned back then, huh?
