Dumb? Where?

Buckle up, Baltic states

You sound very emotionally invested in this conversation, so I stop it right now. If you are still interested in the answer, please read the comment in another branch.

Please take care and don’t forget to drink water today.

Don’t play Trump’s card here. I was wrong in one argument, thank you for pointing it out, but overall it doesn’t seem that the claim that “Russia is collapsing due to sanctions and war” has been damaged in any way

I was wrong about 18 being “for a long time”. Still, if it’s indeed a measure to regulate inflation, it worked previously, why wouldn’t it work this time?

Another good metric to predict Russia’s collapse

No, this is a good reality check. Still we can see how the rate has dropped from 20 to 8 like nothing

Russia had 18 for a long time and it didn’t look like a big deal. All these talks look exactly like reversed copium meme from 2022

In contrast to what Lemmy or any other internet community is claiming, I do not know economics enough to say what’s happening with the Russian economy for certain.

But what can I see, is that inflation is not as high as in 2022 or 2014 and Russian authorities have downed the amount of foreign currency a company that sells something for dollars should exchange for roubles. And the war is still going on.

So… notwithstanding the colossal sanctions, Russia is still standing 🤷🏼‍♂️ but the west has run out of things that they can sanction. Unless you think that potash, ammonia, natural gas, and nuclear fuel would be sanctioned in the near future. In this case, please consult reality. The choice that we’re about to see made is between abandoning Ukraine and military intervention.

No, but it doesn’t seem a lot

Sanctioned to the stone age!

A lot of hard decisions have been made by Ukraine in the past year that I can’t support. These decisions heavily affected the initiatives to help Ukrainians where I live, and it’s fucking upsetting.

It’s “for any county” to me. Nationalism is a cancer
