Sadly for your argument Walt there are many on this site who not only agree with my posts but applaud me for standing up to the likes of you & your dementia, your bullying friends & psychotic indoctrination that you wish to infect the rest of the world with.

Ugh? Wasnt it 80+ years ago?
If there hadn't been paranoid stupid Americans plotting against Russia for the last 78 years but working cooperatively with them as they do in space people could be living on Mars & the Moon by now.

@K9Kohle789 They've never done that - just lobotomise them.

@K9Kohle789 How's that war economy working out for the stinking Russians?

@K9Kohle789 That would be incorrect.

@barjoe Very well from what I can read Joe. Seemingly in the great "democracy" & land of free speech most of what I read is censored so that you poor muppets cannot read the truth. That's why you'll see me copying articles rather than just giving an url! Example:

The regulator says the economy has stabilized, but still needs to adapt to the new conditions

The Russian economy has managed to evade an inflationary spiral due to the policies of the Central Bank, the head of the regulator, Elvira Nabiullina, said on Thursday at a meeting with the Association of Russian Banks.

However, according to Nabiullina, it is “too early to exhale,” as the process of adapting the economy to the new global conditions amid mounting Ukraine-related sanctions may be lengthy and difficult.

“The coming quarters will not be easy, as while the economy adapts, the process will be difficult for both companies and citizens,” she said.

According to the Central Bank governor, the past two months have been a time of tactical decisions, aiming to lessen the first shock of sanctions that were placed on Russia by the US and its allies. As a result of these punitive measures, roughly half of Russia’s forex reserves have been frozen, as well as the assets of many Russian businesses and individuals, while international companies from various spheres started winding down their business in the country.

Russia not leaving global economy – Putin

“Our measures were aimed at combating the problems that arose, as they say, here and now. As a result, we managed to protect our financial stability and prevent the inflationary spiral from unwinding,” Nabiullina said.

The measures she referred to include a brief hike of the key rate to an unprecedented 20% in March, and the introduction of strict capital controls. These and other actions helped keep the economy afloat and lift the ruble from the historic lows it reached in April.

However, it is too early to lift these measures, she added, as the Russian “economy is entering a period of structural transformation and will be in dire need of financial resources.”

“The time for tactical decisions is coming to an end and now we have to develop strategic decisions… We need to define new parameters for the functioning of the Russian financial system. Reconsider approaches to regulation so that, without allowing excessive risks to accumulate, banks can continue lending and support the structural transformation of the economy.”

How's your American inflation Joe? How's your credibility with the other 6/7 of the world population who now understand what a bunch of duplicitous arrogant hubristic people you are.
Strewth mate, only a few years ago you had an aspirant President trying to tell you with his silly red MAGA hats that you are no longer "great". Please wake up to reality before it's too late & these stupid¹ people get you all exterminated.

@K9Kohle789 Russia no longer has to be paying extortionate profits to American pirates. They must be saving a fortune. Their oil is in demand as is their wheat. The Russian currency is reportedly at it's highest ecchange value - I wish that I'd followed instinct & bought when USA imposed sanctions & the value first drastically fell.
