Except it clearly hasn't. Why are you manipulating public discussion in favor of a dictatorship?
How are you defining success?
I’d call Russia growing at around 3.5% and booking record revenues a pretty bad outcome, from the perspective of people who think these sanctions are doing anything much at all.
I have a bridge I want to sell you
You’re saying you think the figures are false?
Have you looked into them at all or is it just more comfortable to assume that?
Asserting so does not make it so. The Eurozone is in recession and growth is flat, meanwhile Russia is still growing. Russia is coming out ahead of this sanctions/trade war with Europe.
That said? The US is the real winner here. It gets to hurt Russia and Europe and the same time and make them think it was their idea! Meanwhile, people just assume anyone who doesn't say Russia is going to collapse any day now is working for Putin. 🤡
You mean like how the Soviet Ruble was worth hundreds of dollars, yet the USSR had to pay for western goods with old battleships? Oh, the irony - "Asserting so does not make it so."
I mean like how the IMF said their economy grew over 5% last quarter.
i think it's time for NATO to invade the IMF...
Someone calls an ambulance!
