War in Ukraine

Undoubtedly, he's more hero than you'll ever be.

 

More on the idea that Russia's economy probably won't survive much more than another year of Russia losing this war. Putin's core supporters (public sector workers) are getting 9% annual raises to help them cope with runaway inflation (the "official" inflation rate is 9%). The problem is that actual inflation is running closer to 20+%.

Russia's coal industry is starting to collapse, as the industry is losing money for the first time in four years. Numerous industries in Russia are lining up for federal assistance, but there is little to be had.

The government's rainy day National Wealth Fund is at its lowest level since 2008, at $31 billion.

Russia's economy has irreversibly turned toward a 'stagnation trap,' think tank says

That’s a shame

 

Sanctions have been so devastating that Russia has recently surpassed Japan to become the fourth largest economy in the world by GDP PPP.

 

From a rabidly anti-Russian publication …

Ukraine conducts a long-range drone attack on a 400-foot-tall skyscraper in Kazan, the fifth-largest city in Russia. The city is 540 miles east of Moscow and over 600 miles from Ukraine's border. The tower was an "elite" residential building. Kazan is in Tatarstan Province, which has extensive oil resources.

As long as the Russian people are willing to eat worn-out artillery barrels and tanks, there shouldn't be a problem. At some point, they'll want to eat more traditional fare. The Japanese can pretty much eat whatever they feel like eating. I'm sure the Japanese would not trade places with the Russians for all the tea in China.

 

Ukraine gets another financial donation from Russia to help them fight the War in Ukraine. This donation is courtesy of Russian seized assets in Europe, and could be worth up to $282 billion.
