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 should go touch some

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.

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.

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.

Largest gdp growth in 2024
1) US
2) China
3) Germany
4) Japan
5) India
6) UK
7) France
8) Italy
9) Canada
10) Brazil
11) Russia
12) S Korea
Everyone knows it’s easier to show percentage increased when your numbers are way smaller,
When Russia passes up Brazil and gets into the top ten let us know.

So your assertion is that Biden pressured Ukraine to not take a deal in 2019 when Trump was president?
They create unique ways to shift blame away from Putin and put it on Zelensky, Biden and the US.

Unreal, Ukraine is shooting down more if their planes than the Russians are! Even with the ineptness shown by Ukraine, Russia can barely move West. Wow.

Depending on where you get your news, I would say its just as likely that you get more Ukraine propaganda than Russian. Both are working overtime for sure.
Recent example. Thousands of Ukrainian troops were supposedly surrounded in Kursk. We saw on a regular basis that these troops had no chance of escape. Even the president pleaded with Russia to let them out of the trap.
What happened after that? Was as it true? It was it propaganda?

But if they are beaten down it might be too late by that point. That's the entire premise behind giving up more now to avoid potentially catastrophic losses later.
If Ukraine wants to fight to tgdd Ed death ftom bring overrun by Russia, it’s not my business to tell them not to do so. They obviously believe their freedom is worth dying for.

We are all speculating. I hope their resistance in doing that is because they have information and insight that I don't have access to that gives them hope. I just don't think that is the case. I believe they have been mislead by the previous US Admin and Europe into thinking they have a chance when they don't. Hope I'm wrong.
We are all speculating and bring influenced by Russian propaganda,

We are going to make a million even if terrible and just exist. Can you recoup the multiple millions if push all in. It's a legitimate question.
If it were strictly business, you wouldn’t put ten million into WBB, but they do.
I am saying that if you intend to spend millions on a sport, MBB is by far the best sport to invest in that’s not football. A school thst plays in the tournament will sell more tickets, more concessions, and get more tv money. Those are facts.

So why is it "giving in to bullies" if someone would rather Ukraine give up more that they (& we) would like if it ends it now?
If Ukraine is pushed to surrender it’s not because they are being bullied, it is because they have been beaten down.
I don’t think Russia has reached their brink and they see the US bailing and they do not fear Europe so they e we I’ll not accept a peace unless Ukraine surrenders their govt.

f you think Russia's economy and military are near collapse, yeah you'd probably think agreeing to a peace that isn't favorable to Ukraine right now is giving in to a bully.
I do not believe Russia’s economy or military is on the verge of collapsing, but I do believe that imthry are being strained. To what degree, I don’t know. If it’s not enough to push Russia to peace then there will be no peace. I don’t think Ukraine is close to surrender, however.

Who do you believe has the upper hand? Russia or Ukraine?
Russia has for three years.
Russia will negotiate a peace only if it’s in their best interests. If the price they are currently paying is too high then there will be a peace treaty, if it’s not then the war will continue.
It’s not complicated. The ball is in Russia’s court and they are trying to squeeze all the juice out of it that they can.

If Russia says "no NATO troops" is a necessary condition for a cease fire, then there had better not be any NATO troops there, or there will be no cease fire and Russia will keep on pressing forward.
That isn’t negotiating, that’s dictating terms.
Ukraine can agree or disagree, they don’t have to surrender.
