Dude you have gone from criticizing Ukraine and U.S support (fair) to white knighting for Russia (pathetic)

white knighting
Correcting a poster and showing that Russia has the #4 Economy in the World in terms of PPP GDP according to the IMF is not white knighting. It's called telling the truth. I am sorry you have a problem with that.

The account that's been a solid firehose of embedded twitter propaganda may have an operator that occasionally says non bullshite....like a brief fart in between massive streams of hot russian diarrhea.

Trump has instructed a review of U.S. sanctions policy, as it undermines the role of the dollar as the global reserve currency, stated U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessant.
The Director of National Intelligence, Gabbard, commented on the conversation between Putin and Trump, saying:
"We have two leaders of two great nations who are very good friends and focused on how we can strengthen shared goals and common interests."

From JB:
You referenced GDP, not GDP PPP. The fact is although you your Rusdia they are behind Canada and Brazil in GDP.
You only try and change the debate to cover for Russia’s shortfalls.

I did not reference anything. The tweet did not clarify between Nominal GDP vs PPP GDP. I provided that clarity for you like I have to do consistently.

- Trump and Putin agree a ceasefire is necessary, negotiations for that + permanent peace will begin "immediately" in the Middle East.
- "Enormous" economic deal between U.S./Russia expected after Ukraine peace.
- Both say Middle Eastern cooperation between U.S./Russia is necessary to prevent future war.
- Both want better U.S./Russia relationship.
- Both agree Iran cannot be in a position to destroy Israel.
FULL readout from the White House can be found below.
"Today, President Trump and President Putin spoke about the need for peace and a ceasefire in the Ukraine war. Both leaders agreed this conflict needs to end with a lasting peace. They also stressed the need for improved bilateral relations between the United States and Russia. The blood and treasure that both Ukraine and Russia have been spending in this war would be better spent on the needs of their people.
This conflict should never have started and should have been ended long ago with sincere and good faith peace efforts. The leaders agreed that the movement to peace will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire, as well as technical negotiations on implementation of a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, full ceasefire and permanent peace. These negotiations will begin immediately in the Middle East.
The leaders spoke broadly about the Middle East as a region of potential cooperation to prevent future conflicts. They further discussed the need to stop proliferation of strategic weapons and will engage with others to ensure the broadest possible application. The two leaders shared the view that Iran should never be in a position to destroy Israel.
The two leaders agreed that a future with an improved bilateral relationship between the United States and Russia has huge upside. This includes enormous economic deals and geopolitical stability when peace has been achieved."

Full excerpt from the Kremlin's statement following Putin and Trump's negotiations regarding the initiative for a 30-day ceasefire.
In the context of the U.S. President's initiative to introduce a 30-day ceasefire, the Russian side outlined several key points concerning the effective monitoring of a potential cessation of hostilities along the entire line of contact, the need to halt forced mobilization in Ukraine, and the rearmament of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Serious risks were also highlighted regarding the Kiev regime's lack of willingness to negotiate, as it has repeatedly sabotaged and violated previously reached agreements.
Attention was drawn to the barbaric, terrorist crimes committed by Ukrainian militants against the civilian population of the Kursk region."

You copied and pasted a teeet referencing GDP. You used it as a baseline to show Russia’s economy was increasing 4.1%.
You did that because it sounded better than thd 3.8% growth in GDP PPP.
Your first post said GDP. Rusdia not top ten.

You make absolutely no sense. The tweet did not clarify Nominal GDP vs PPP GDP. This shows why you have mental problems that you think I planned this all out like it's some big conspiracy.

You got caught in a bait and switch. You posted that Rusdian GDP rose 4.1% which it did. I pointed out that they are still 11th in world economy behind Brazil. Now you are saying you didn’t specify GDP it was GDP PPP. But it couldn’t have been GDP PPP because it only rose 3.8%.

Again, let me know when Russia makes the top ten.

They are #4 by PPP GDP which is the most accurate measurement because it removes currency disparity. But keep telling yourself a country that has just defeated a NATO funded and equipped Ukraine in a 3 year War with sanctions on it is not ranked #4. Your delusional thinking is on the U.K. propaganda level

You can increase GDP drastically by kiting checks between multiple central banks and build dozens of cities which are still empty, like China has
You can increase industrial output by mandating increased and inefficient use of materials while decreasing quality like the USSR did.
You can increase GDP with drastic expansion of MIC like Russia has on money raised by sales of bonds internally to those profiting from that expansion. Also, price controls on consumer products to keep the public lulled asleep. Not so efficient use of resources and setting up for failure.
I see houses built from playing cards in all three scenarios.
