We need to remember that Russia will do everything to make sure that the economy looks stable. If you print money and grant high risk loans to weapons suppliers you will have a positive GDP growth, though absolutely not a healthy economy. You won't see Russias GDP slowly start to go into the negatives, it will grow and then it will suddenly collapse.

Any day now.
Well, sadly 1.4% growth is still growth
It's important to look at their financial sector though. That growth is artificial and increasingly dependent on their war. It's not sustainable, let alone could they really compensate all losses if things won't go their way. So yeah, while technically it's growth, it's literally borrowed.

This is what it feels like seeing these news title about Russia's economic collapse
alt text
An endless gif of a truck about to hit a bollard
I know right? First it’s “the collapse has already begun” and then it’s “starting to collapse” and then it’s “collapse is imminent” and then it’s “colllapse is guaranteed” and then it’s “on the road to collapse” and now it’s “growth has slowed.”
Jesus fucking Christ call me when Putin is dead.
Genocide loving, terrorist putin and his Nazi based wagner group won't last forever. karma will make Russia pay for collaborating with nazis to start WW2.
nobody will have to tell you, you will know by the celebrations here in the street in russia when putin and his Nazi group is defeated.
After germany invasion of poland, the soviet union invaded eastern Poland on 17 September 1939, following the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, which divided Poland between Germany and the Soviet Union, which triggered WW2.
Yes, curse Putin for something that happened decades before he was born! (And also didn't really happen at all, by but you know what I mean)
lol. nazi lovers are such deeply fickle careless people. I separated putin and russia, please read again. 2 separate sentences. Also, note he has talked about restoring Soviet empire lands with tucker carlson.
Lol. Liberals are such deeply unserious people
Wild thing for a troll that talks trash on practical calls to action, nor will explain what that "better" ideas to be saying.
Fuckem.
If you wanna have a fun time watch the Russian victory parade from a few days ago, a lot of the Russian soldiers are not carrying guns most of the generals have to be 80+ years old, and there are a few times when they use CGI from a ps2 to show the inside of vehicles and planes. It’s wild.
Not fuckem. Let's hope they get the mind and power to overthrow the oppressive regime they live under.
I mean, that's the whole point, isn't it? If other states wanted to completely cut off Russia they could (even though at incredibly high costs). Balancing between not giving Russia sufficient reason to completely escalate, not primarily hitting the Russian people but their oppressive regime and oligarchs (sth. never truly possible unfortunately), but raising the pressure more and more until a nation or government collapses one way or another. Unfortunately the Russian culture is prone to suppression historically speaking, those who tried to rise up already did years ago and unfortunately failed.
It's awful and frustrating given how long it takes and it's obvious both blocs already are deeply engaged in a shadow war, however right now (despite what all the propaganda says) the EU is rather stable with an increasing amount of genuine union-wide pride growing while Russia is weakening, carried propaganda, fear and probably ~1% stupidity. …Let's better not talk about the US though, that's a whole other nightmare to unravel.
Unfortunately the Russian culture is prone to suppression historically speaking
Yeah... unlike Western Europe...
LOL
