Not sure who had did this. Maybe even some from his small connected with mafia circle. Concurrence to get closer to money flow is high.
Maybe KGB¿ If you don't like them for some reason, they might blow you up, you might get accident, beautiful tea etc.

Yeah I have.
You're wrong. I don't think your lies are intentional if it helps, you're just a moron who can't help being wrong.

Obviously, you don't know how to search a topic on Google. I'll do it for you:
October 2024: "By June, the World Bank had confirmed that, as per its most recent data release from the International Comparison Program (ICP), Russia had overtaken Germany and Japan to become the fourth-largest economy in the world (using the purchasing power parity [PPP] method of GDP calculation)."

An excellent video in understanding the Ukraine conflict. How much of it was brought about by the United States. How Ukraine is being used as a pawn by the US against Russia.

A mini documentary on the background of the Ukraine conflict follows Jeffrey Sachs’ lecture at the Cambridge Union. The journey begins in the early 1990s and continues to the present day. The documentary features interviews and statements from world leaders along the way, shedding light on significant historical geopolitical events and questioning the narrative created by Western media. However, the most important thing is not who is right but that there are understandable explanations for everything that has happened, and that these events are merely the result of a chain reaction of numerous events, the consequences of which we are now witnessing.

3 February 2025
Russia's military operation in Ukraine intensifies with heavy casualties and strategic advances. In the Kursk region, over 200 Ukrainian troops have been killed, and Russian forces continue aerial and missile strikes across Ukraine. Ground offensives in Donetsk, Kupiansk, and other key areas cause significant losses on both sides, with Ukrainian forces suffering heavy casualties. Meanwhile, Russia claims thousands of Ukrainian casualties and destroyed military hardware since the war began. As the conflict escalates, civilians face mounting displacement and infrastructure damage. The situation remains critical, with no signs of de-escalation in sight.

Your sources are buttcheeks.

In case anyone was wondering, Times Now is an Indian tabloid rag who currently holds the record for largest defamation suit ever lost in that country. If you want a peek at some of their stellar journalism, I offer this nugget:

On 6 September 2021, Times Now was criticised for a report using video that suggested a Pakistan Air Force jet was hovering over Afghanistan's Panjshir Valley. The video was soon revealed to be a United States Air Force F-15 jet filmed by a YouTube airplane enthusiast in Wales filming the jet within the Mach Loop three months before.



If you had to resort to sources this shitty, russia must be doing really bad.

Bro I already told you you're wrong and that its because you're a moron. You don't have to go proving me right.

• GDP and GDP(PPP) are not the same thing. They're not interchangeable.
• You're using a website for your analysis that is taking respectable data then applying stupid rules to it.
• This is not how GDP is measured nor is your website an official agency that measures GDP
• IMF measures GDP, says both are basically double Russia
• World bank measures GDP, says both are basically double Russia
• United Nations measures GDP, says both are basically double Russia.

Your problem is you don't understand the basics of most subjects.

I lied too. I didn't google it until now. I knew what you were saying was wrong and I knew you were talking about GDP(PPP) and not GDP but were too ignorant to know the difference. I don't need google to tell me Germany and Japan both have larger GDP than Russia.

I had posted approx the same stuff but there isn't human reading text but some kind of chatbot.
Usually average HS economy fundaments class is place where students are learning what stuff is PPP and difference between NET GDP and PPP GDP.
Cos this is simple and quickly to learn. Easier than to do balance list for for example self employed person ....for real life. For taxman.

If about Ukr ...

Looks that with Putin actually isn't possible to negotiate with.

Initially looked that Trump and Europe might agree that war is stopped in current frontline.
If to be fair they doesn't want that Ukr will get occupied areas back because then Ukr will demand money for their reconstruction.....

Lurk how in autumn 2022 th Zelensky told europe and US that they will need damn a lot of money for reconstruction....after this weapons supplies slowed down.... only idiot can't see " coincidence " here.

Ofc they might tell Putin that they doesn't want Ukr in EU and NATO.
For what reason they need? Ukr isn't Finland or Sweden, where at least smooth payments for expensive weapons sales are warranted, + proved 70+ years in row stability.

Plus to pay huge subsidies for Ukr agriculture ? Jesus.... infrastructure and so on? Why ol europe needs to pay this?

However looks that Putin had demanded more that they might agree, even MAGA or Trump.
As first demand to recognize these 5 provinces as de Iure Russian Federation territory and force Ukr to recognize this too... Jesus....
After this next negotiations.
Dudes like Lavrov, Ivanov, Morozov, Medvedev and Co demands this.
For Putin it isn't easy because nationalists supporting Kremlin had been promised to liberate annexed on paper provinces.... physically and to force Ukr and international society to recognize these as part of Russian Federation.

There it is so called Dugin imperialism lineage. Empire that should be.

Nationalists - imperialistic ideas supporters are usable for Kremlin because they easily might forgive Kremlin inflation and pumping federal budget money into occupied areas...aka Grozny No2, No3, No4 etc.

 

[SandisLL]

There does looks that now despite talks about nice peace perspective, Trump and Europe had re started weapons and ammo supplies.

For Trump administration this will be easy because they had money not spent from previous administration funding. More than ~3 800 000 000 . Plus stuff looks that is in europe long ago.
They also does have Benny.

Benny wants to get modern bombs and to keep stationed THAAD battery.

Bombs Israel anyway already does have, maybe lesser modern but still a lot.

THAAD is different stuff. These batteries are manned by U.S officers and engineers.
It isn't mainstream Patriot, where customers usually does have their own perssonel 100%.
Actually also might operate battery without U.S permit and there in real life 0 chances to prevent this to happen. Ofc link 16 and AWACS then will not be usable...
So Trump really might easy peasy remowe THAAD battery from Israel. In 2 hours in reality...if Benny will not agree to send some old stuff for U.S without re export clauses...
