Their entire repair program is the definition of malicious compliance.

Hell, if there's a malicious compliance sub on Lemmy, this should be on it.

*oh there is a maliciouscompliance community. I should post this.

No surprises there. Unlike Ukraine, Belarus seems ready to bend over, so all Putin needs to do is make Lukashenko wealthy.

Doesn't the sub have 96 hours of air or something?

He's realised that his star power has faded in the US and he needs new fanboys.

I didn't dispute the data, I'm saying that the source isn't neutral.

The data may very well be accurate or not, I don't know enough to comment either way. I suspect it's not entirely accurate because both Russia and China have a history of massaging numbers and having inaccurate reporting.

But putting that aside - Russia and China both want to get rid of the US dollar as the dominant currency for their own interests. It's not surprising that Russia-China trades are now conducted mostly without the use of US dollars. The fact that this comes from a known government mouthpiece means it's just nationalist self-promotion.

Questioning the motive of the source is always good practice. If you see an article saying "Survey shows Hyundai emerges as the best car brand in 2023", it would make a difference if this news was taken from the Hyundai website or BBC.

It's not a matter of being pro-US or pro-Russia/China. There are skewed news sources in ever country, the US included.

Yeah. I think only a minority of people are calling out their bullshit and everyone else is still swallowing the propaganda.

Putin really deserves to be tried for war crimes.

In the past, corporate profit growth accounted for maybe a third of inflation. But a report from the Kansas City Fed found that nearly 60% of inflation in 2021 was because of corporate profits.
