Jotato tried to use banking and economic warfare to collapse the Russian economy and Jotato failed spectacularly......very reminiscent of the Afghanistan Withdrawal Debacle.

Is Russia at war?

It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.

This is a measure of rate of change. GDP Growth

This is getting you downvotes

We have some morons on here.

I believe its because a country's GDP cant be measured as a percentage, but the growth of the GDP can. Therefore anyone who passed the fourth grade knows they are referring to growth.

And then you had to double down, bless your heart

I wonder how much of this is due to having a mobilized war economy. Also, how much debt will russia have to get into to make it through the war and return to a post-war economy once things settle down.

One thing Russia doesn’t have is inflated MIC sucking tax dollars with ridiculous contracts that aren’t worth half of what we pay. We may drive up private companies but it’s at a huge cost. The market would be stronger here if they were in it, but that variable is only due to the above.

GDP per capita is a way more useful datapoint, especially when compared to a trend derived from linear regression. Nonetheless the sanctions were never going to work because there’s too many work arounds and I called that in the OT thread on day 1. Russia is an oligarchy so of course their GDP per capita is multiples lower. It’s irrelevant to the discussion.

Once again you prove that you have no clue and simply can not discuss anything in an intelligent manner.

Russia's GDP is smaller than it was in 2013.

Russia's GDP is about the same as that of Texas, despite the fact that Russia has 4.7 times as many people as Texas.

Over the past three years Russia has lost around 2m more people than it would ordinarily have done, as a result of war, disease and exodus. The life expectancy of Russian males aged 15 has fallen by almost five years, to the same level as in Haiti.

There are currently 13.1 deaths in Russia for every 9 births.

Russia is a failing state.

I think that Russia is winning the war. That's just my opinion.

CNN: This is no more than Russian propaganda

Another example of your inability to discuss an issue. You keep making my case.

FWIW, I never disputed the OP. I just posted the rationale behind those numbers.
