http://cepr.org/voxeu/columns/recession-russia-deepens-evidence-alternative-tracker-domestic-economic-activitythe true measure of the war.'s cost in russian treasure (we know they don't consider the cost in peasant's lives)
because of the cost of the war, it'll be decades before the Russian people can benefit from spending some of that oil and gas revenue (unless.. I say unless you're an oilagarch!)
meanwhile infrastructure everywhere including buildings (1/4 all buildings in siberia) is collapsing, 20% of population doesn't have an indoor toilette
ya think maybe, just maybe somebody has misplaced priorities?
Russia is the RICHEST country on earth
but in the past 10 years, vlad has managed to decrease the Russian GDP by 15%
golly, what kinda political ads will Vlad air on TV for his 'election' campaign coming up next march
bragging about his military and economic success?
noooo - fighting western liberal ideals of tolerance towards sexual minorities will be the main sales pitch
yeah, the war on 'woke' is a real important topic to an orphaned gopnick with no place to take a dump when it's cold out and no job or money
i'm sure Putin will have a record vote tally (minus the voters who be dead now cuz of duh war)
which, dear readers, is yet another reason why Trump will face an uphill struggle
ya see, dear gentle readers
the anti-vax non-sense was absorbed mainly by Trump voters who died by the hundreds of thousands from Covid (mortality data for red vrs blue counties)
them folks ain't gonna vote for Trump
vaxed people like me, just got sick from Covid, and we'll be voting in 2024, but sure as hell not for Trump
Trump's only chance for victory is with russian help
and being as it's in their best interest
white powder
and white power
it's amazing how the poltics of trump and putin are are all based on massively deceiving and exploiting the people they're supposed to serve
they are both masters of the J. Geobbels School of Propaganda
there isn'a a group in America more vulnerable than dumb phuque rednecks
same in russia, old people, who wear old clothes and have missing teeth, all sing pootin's praises (and often emit a whistling sound 'tween their missing teeth!)
to them putin is pronounced pew-tweeeeeet-tin, which has a kinda melodic quality
is Pootin worried over using nuclear weapons?
NO!!!
WHY?
Because the winners of a war will not be judged, only the losers
and the nukes are his last hope of winning after Trump fails him again
