Russia is a potemkin country. None of this is real.
>>950196639My brother visited Moscow and said it was nice.
>>950196639Simply because so many Russians are escaping from the rest of that shithole country (where average wages are low and living standards are poor) to the capital.
>>950200964i guess
>>950200964Wages are lower in Moscow than the other russian cities apparently. This is true of most large cities around the world.

>>950202970Then I accept your apology.
>>950203367Every accusation is an admission
>>950202961>Russia is the fourth largest world ecomomy8thAnd they're spending like 5% of their total economy each year, plus losing a lot of working force. So now they have labour shortage, companies are desperate to find workers but can't find.While NATO countries have spent about 0.2% on this war from their total GDP.Bottom line is that Russia cannot go on like this for more than a year, they go into financial collapse, because they won't be able to find the money to sustain that kind of crazy spending on the war. And even if they do, they can't go on because inflation is around 20% already. It will kill their plebs who live on a little more than 100 bucks per month.It's gonna be really shit for them starting from the later part of this year. They're already hiking taxes to be able to keep funding the war.
>>950203392>Russia is the world's 4th largest economy based on purchasing power, 9th largest by GDPLiteracy, anon
>>950203023I don't see how acting like russians makes a good point.
>>950203385
Russia's national wealth fund had about 110bn euros in 2022 and now it's down to less than 10% of that.Yeah they spent a lot from this fund too, but also from the government's defence budget. They didn't spend from one single source but multiple sources.But since that wealth fund is getting depleted, they are increasing the share of spending from the public budget, so this year it's going to be mostly spending on the war from the public purse. It's close to one third of their total budget. Huge. Which means they had to cancel and cut a lot of investment and social spending.>%The total amount spent by Russia on the war (around 110bn euros) comes from multiple sources, as I said. And it includes all the spending on the war in the last 2 years until the spring of 2024. I don't have more recent data because in general finance institutions take time to compile them. Plus Russia's government started hiding the source of funding for the war, in many ways, they stopped publishing some statistics or declare a different destination for the funds.The percentage was expressed relative to one year's GDP, so maybe it's not correct.But it's just a ballpark to get an idea, it's impossible to have a very precise estimation.But from all the sources I've seen, the consensus is that Russia spent around 4.5% of its GDP on the war in the first year, then started growing up to more than 5%.While NATO and EU sent a total of funds and gear worth a bit over 120bn euros. Again data is until April 2024.Which represents 0.2% of the aggreggated NATO member's GDPs in 2023.So the war effort is a lot more debilitating to Russia. This doesn't take into account the costs for populations on either side, in inflation, etc.
>>950203392>It's gonna be really shit for them starting from the later part of this yearHeard that one before.>>950203509Good thing they're the largest economy in Europe.
>>950203425PPP is kinda meaningless.Think about it. A country can produce a fuckton of potatoes and because of that, they are very cheap. So you report that you have a huge production of potatoes and each individual can buy a huge quantity. High PPP.But that individual has shit healthcare, no roads, low life expectancy, he drinks a lot, high divorce rate. But he has a lot of potatoes. That's high PPP for you. You can have high PPP and be poor as fuck and live in shit, because PPP doesn't calculate your living conditions, it's just a basket of basic goods calculates as equivalent in dollars.So PPP is useful as an indicator but it shouldn't be taken as some kind of absolute measure of someone's quality of life
>>950203546At this point I can see you're a moron with no idea what you're talking about. Good day to you.
>>950203547>Think about it. A country can produce a fuckton of potatoes and because of that, they are very cheap. So you report that you have a huge production of potatoes and each individual can buy a huge quantity. High PPP.Now instead of 'potatoes' imagine the actual asset is oil and lng, the most important, demanded and valuable resources in human history.Lol.
>>950203605I hope you have a good evening anon.
>>950203606So you think the average russian just keeps large stockpiles of oil in their property which enhance their lives? you're pretty dumb my friend.ukraine has also destroyed a lot of their refinery sector. many areas of russia are now undergoing energy shortages.
>>950203669I'm not sure when we changed topics to quality of life. I simply commented that Russia is the strongest economy in Europe, which is not my opinion
>>950203724>which is not my opinionNah it is, and you're wrong, and clearly a blithering idiot.
>biggest city in europe>biggest economy in europe>not part of the EUsounds pretty based ngl
>>950203755I respect our opinion and I think you should be able to voice it, but I don't think getting emotional is helping your argument.
>>950203790I'm just correctly labeling you what you are: a delusional idiot. Also Russia is an asian country.
>>950203832Being wrong is part of the learning process and shouldn't be seen as ambarassing.
>>950203919Nah, it's Asia, sorry idiot. You're not european anymore. Chinese vassal.
>>950203988If that's true, the EU our vassal. And not nearly as strong a vassal as Russia, economically speaking.
>>950204053>the EU our vassalNah that's just another one of your delusions, sorry Igor the Stupid.100% dependent on China, you are Asian now.
>this thread
you can see the corn and sesame seeds in this one lol
>>950204083Racism is a weak argument, historically speaking.
Squeezed this massive rock out of my ear with a water syringe.
My, some people get very upset over simple facts don't they?
The big downside of Russian women is that they don't age well. Just like these two women in their mid-thirties from Moscow.
>>950204271You're not posting facts, just your delusions and propaganda, Igor. It's all been debunked.
>>950204300Would/10
>>950204357>It's all been debunked.Proof?What is the largest city in Europe?
>>950203919This is correct.>>950204053You cannot even produce 100 tanks or airplanes annually, pidor. Russia has always been technologically shit. Ukraine did all the heavy lifting developmentally, industrially and agriculturally during the days of the USSR.>>950204175This is arguably false as well though.
>>950196639>>950204482The question is more complicated.Is istanbul in Europe and do you count greater Metro or within the city proper administrative borders?
>>950204616
>>950204674>The question is more complicated.It really isn't.Istanbul is universally recognized as having about 70% of its population in Europe and the remainder in Asia.Moscow is universally recognized as being the largest city in Europe. Nobody debates this, period. Feel free to give a source that does.
>>950204746Nah you're a deluded russian idiot
>>9502048062 out of 3 isn't bad, you have to admit.
>this one russian retard desperately trying to brag about the size of moscowPeople on 4chan have a big misconception about Russia. They think it's just a normal nation like France or Sweden or something.However Russia never was a nation state. It was always an empire. If it would stop being an empire, it would shrink to the size of Moscow and die. It's an inherently parasitic construct.A bunch of Mongol tax collectors managed to enslave everyone around them and brainwash them they are Russian. Russianness is based on agreement, not on facts. As long as everyone agrees they are Russian, Russia persists. But only Muscovites, the actual real Russians, benefit from this.That's why they chimped out so badly against Ukraine. Ukraine refused to be fooled.
>>950204806
>>950204833>>950204877>bragging about high populationmy god, you poor, poor little idiot
>>950204874>>950204903I'm not bragging. I don't even live in Europe.I just said Moscow is the largest city in Europe.Why would that make people so emotional? It's quite a mystery.
>>950204937Many anons on /b/ would fail in geography trivia, apparently
weird theme but ok
>>950204696T-90 are refurbs, not new hulls.Try again.
>>950205138No, that's called a t-72B.Try again.
>>950204696>The publication operates with limited transparency regarding its corporate ownership and financial backers, leading independent analysts and fact-checkers to regularly classify it as a source of pro-Russian propaganda. While the website lists an operational address in Seoul, South Korea, outside defense experts have frequently criticized its coverage for significant pro-Russian bias and reliance on unverified state-media narratives.
>>950205190
>>950204937Nah you clearly are trying to (and failing). It's baked into your russian DNA, low IQ idiot.
>>950205186All initial T-90s were T-72 hulls upgraded to T-90.If they are producing new hulls it is because they have run out of T-72 hulls to modernize.
>>950205451>All initial T-90s>initialAnd we're talking about production numbers. Old chassis are called t-72B
>>950205332I respect your opinion but getting emotional surely isn't the way forward.
>>950205330>likely>mayI still don't trust a Slav, even one apparently in open opposition to Putin, but I will concede.
>>950205479Initial as in the first several hundred. T-72B exists, yes. T-90 was for years still built on existing T-72 hulls.
>>950204877China laughs at your puny small cities.

Instanbul is the largest city in europe and its capital
>>950203724>when we changed topics to quality of life.Just because the stockmarket in New York is going up doesn't mean the American economy is improving. Stop being pedantic, myopic and disingenuous.The Russian economy is built on selling petroleum, mainly to Europe and selling weapons to third world countries. That and digital fraud.Now it cannot do either of the former.
>>950208607Most of it is in Asia, not Europe. The Bosporus is literally the dividing line.,
>>950208706>Now it cannot do either of the former.Well its core economy must be pretty strong then, considering it's the strongest economy in Europe
>>950208607Hasn't been remotely a European city since the Muslims conquered it.The people are an ethnicity from Asia, and the religion is a cult from Arabia.It is not European. Its Greco-Roman history was blotted out by foreign invaders.
>>950208588Wow, if all that is true and Russia is still the strongest economy in Europe, they must have a lot of depth.
>>950208755You do know up to were the greek and Roman empire stretched right, you know the romans trusted Arabians more than they trusted Brits and Proto spanish people right
>>950208851Not after Islam. You're talking during the height of the empire, not after the fall of the west and Islamic expansion into the power vacuum left in North Africa. That's a thousand years before the Turkic people even arrived from the Asian steppes, you illiterate sand nigger.

>>950210010
>>950210010Not PPP, which is relative and arguably bullshit, especually aince you are now a net food importer.Strongest also does not mean largest in one cherry picked metric, it also means resilient.
>>950210103>it also means resilient.It seems the sanctions were highly effective...
>>950210073And yet your nominal is less than half of Germany, your per capita is less than a third and your average russian lives like shit compared to your average German.
>>95021015064% of Germany's GDP is debt.Less than 20% of Russia's is debt.Future generations are paying for that prosperity.Germany's (the EU's) central bank interest discount rates are 50x higher than Russia's.
>>950210125>5.3%>Look, is good!US is at 4.2 and people are losing their minds. 2 is the target.Now post grocery prices.
>>950210234Lol...
>>950210214Because russia is desperately trying to circulate
>>950210257>2.86% inflation on foodFuck. Can I move to Russia?
>>950210270Meanwhile Germany is desperately trying to de-industrialize, the terminal behavior of all collapsing economies
>>950210270Germany also spends >50% of their GDP on government services. So, 50% to government, and 64% is debt. That is a death spiral and is the state of most of the EU in a nutshell.

Russia's maintained an unemployment rate of 2.2% for most of the year.
>>950210427Germany just hit a 6-year high unemployment rate of 6.4%.

Ironically, Germany's military spending has increased more than Russia's since the start of the Ukraine war.

>>950210728
Where did all the anons arguing about how weak Russia's economy is go?
Even though Russia's consumer gas prices have recently spiked to levels not seen since the start of the war, Germany's gas prices continue to be around 2.5x that amount.
