Dude, get right with the Lord. Somehow the good old days of the past 50 years are over. I'm pretty old so I guess if I have to go, I've lived a good life. I hope we get through one more football season though. Are you scared? Do you speak the Chinese native tongue?

Big juicy melt right there. Good way to end the work week.

Lol. Just saw your other post. So emotional. Bad week in gold speculation?

What are you even talking about? Isn't your friend in the DOJ or DOD?

No. My former roommate is Ukrainian and is an officer in the Ukrainian Army. His brother who I am friends with as well is in Ukrainian intelligence and his other brother is in the Ukrainian Spetznaz.

I bet that you probably would look perfect with a ghey powder blue striped Russian Spetznatz shirt.

Why do you support Nazis?

Are you a serious person? I'll accept that you are.

You're asking about my investments? Potentially hard currency investments? How about I ask you about your religion and beliefs? That's also deeply personal.

No matter what the Kremlin says, the sanctions against Russia are working and 'catastrophically crippling' its economy: study

Five months into the invasion of Ukraine, Russia's economy is imploding from sweeping international sanctions and a corporate exodus, a Yale University analysis has found. The analysis, released July 20, was led by Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a professor at the Yale School of Management.

Conclusions ( of the study )

In the previous sections, it has been established that:

- Russia’s strategic positioning as a commodities exporter has irrevocably deteriorated,
as it now deals from a position of weakness with the loss of its erstwhile main markets,
and faces steep challenges executing a “pivot to Asia” with non-fungible exports such
as piped gas – as we explain further in Section II of this paper.

- Despite some lingering leakiness, Russian imports have largely collapsed, and the
country faces stark challenges securing crucial inputs, parts, and technology from
hesitant trade partners, leading to widespread supply shortages within its domestic
economy – as we explain further in Section III of this paper.

- Despite Putin’s delusions of self-sufficiency and import substitution, Russian
domestic production has come to a complete standstill with no capacity to replace lost
businesses, products and talent; the hollowing out of Russia’s domestic innovation
and production base has led to soaring prices and consumer angst – as we explain
further in Section IV of this paper.

- As a result of the business retreat, Russia has lost companies representing ~40% of its
GDP, reversing nearly all of three decades’ worth of foreign investment and
buttressing unprecedented simultaneous capital and population flight in a mass
exodus of Russia’s economic base – as we explain further in Section V of this paper.

- Putin is resorting to patently unsustainable, dramatic fiscal and monetary intervention
to smooth over these structural economic weaknesses, which has already sent his
government budget into deficit for the first time in years and drained his foreign
reserves even with high energy prices – and Kremlin finances are in much, much more
dire straits than conventionally understood – as we explain further in Section VI of
this paper.

- Russian domestic financial markets, as an indicator of both present conditions and
future outlook, are the worst performing markets in the entire world this year despite
strict capital controls, and have priced in sustained, persistent weakness within the
economy with liquidity and credit contracting – in addition to Russia being
substantively cut off from international financial markets, limiting its ability to tap
into pools of capital needed for the revitalization of its crippled economy – as we
explain further in Section VII of this paper.

- Looking ahead, there is no path out of economic oblivion for Russia as long as the
allied countries remain unified in maintaining and increasing sanctions pressure
against Russia.
