Russia is now the most sanctioned country in the world. What is it like to live under a war economy?China has already begun preparing for a Taiwan conflict, with the government bracing for severe economic recession caused by sanctions.
>>518011851Most of Russia doesn't even notice it. Most of Ukraine is living like there is no war. Real life is not like the movies where every factory is making tanks and bombs, lol.
>>518011851>What is it like to live under a war economy?it's not a war economy. Russians in general barely notice much change.
>>518011851>China has already begun preparing for a Taiwan conflict, with the government bracing for severe economic recession caused by sanctions.you think faggot sanctions from the likes of the US or EU would cause a problem for China?
>>518011851They don't live in a war economy. It's not commanded by the state, it's as normal. That's because the regime is afraid of abusing the population for too long.Right now, their prices are going all over the place, they get staple foods and gasoline shortages due to strikes and sanctions. Until now most Russians lived normal, but the economy cools since 2nd year of the war and overall it's not great. Coupled with the other shit, we'll see how their public opinion shifts soon. A lot of putin super-fans are the soviet boomers. Those people aren't tough like the ww2 generation or anything like that. IMO they'll start crying-shitting easily and tantruming at the worsening conditions.
>>518012003Pretty much every Ukrainian at this point has a family member that’s been killed as a result of the war. Meanwhile Russians are suffering high inflation and import costs
>>518012116A naval blockade would wreck China, Wang.
>>518012194>they get staple foods shortagesPlease elaborate.
>>518011851>a war economyIs this the cope in le liberal democracies for losing against Italy with nukes?
>>518012250gryka, potatoes etc. It has a lot to do with seeds not getting bought from Netherlands. Also tractor parts etc etcThey're not wiped out of the market, but the prices are hiked on one end and on the other the warehouses and farmers are told to not hike anymore, which will result in various market pathologies.potatoes going 4x price is a problem for a boomer pensioner.
>>518012220>A naval blockade would wreck ChinaThis is why the Chinese government has partnered with Russia to open the Arctic shipping route—China's export-driven economy relies heavily on the transportation sector.
>>518012194>Right now, their prices are going all over the place, they get staple foods and gasoline shortages due to strikes and sanctions.My little bro just sent mom a pic of the kebab he got just outside his hotel close to his uni in st. Petersburg. You are a mouthy retard.
>>518012116Yes it would. Very much it would. I honestly have no clue how they are going to bumrush Taiwan without bombing it to dust.
>>518011851Cant buy games on Steam directly. Thats pretty much it.
>>518012388China is investing over a trillion in the silk road 2.0 and so are the merchants outside of China. Arctic route is a joke
>>518011851Imported cars have gotten much more expensive. Other than that, not much has changed.>>518012361You're delusional. If anything, it's the expensive goods that became more expensive, not the basic stuff.
>>518011851Apple pay doesn't work
>>518011851Everything became a little more expensive but this was happening even before the war and by the looks of it not only here.Local food has been already dominating shops since 2014 only now instead of rare Western stuff we've got more Chinese and Korean junk.Electronics and other expensive things are as expensive as ever but you can easily find whatever you want regardless of the producing countryThere are now many more high-paid jobs available if you have a good education>>518012361Just yesterday I bought several kilograms of potatoes at 20 roubles per kilogram
>>518012361LMAO You are lost in your fantasies.
>>518012434Pidorsburg is not representative of average russian conditions.
>>518011851>What is it like to live under a war economy?>be 31, born during the demographic slump>work in a dead end warehouse job while living with my family>had my last engineering experience 6 years ago>got headhunted by a defense startup as a mechanical engineer>they are willing to train me just because I had some experience before, pay me good money, bought a 5000$ workstation PC with an Nvidia Quadro for me to work on>they treat me like they are privileged to haveI love the war economy, it changed my life.
>>518012361I live on my parents pension, and our table havent changed a single bit. Hell, I even bought some black caviar to celebrate New Year last time, something I never did even when I had a job.
>>518011851It was ok, but out pres-t is far right. He wants to block everything foreigner. New taxes each day.>Economy is empty No, he put new taxes, because he wants us to stop using foreigner things. Elites are delusional. They trust in fake stories>Jews wants to kill everyone through internet and technologies No, for real. Many our elites trust in it. P. Also banned all socialists/communists because they called him crazy. Basically it's hell here now. Right wing government is anti human thing.
need to jump hoops to pay for steam but I do not buy games much anyway. This is pretty much it. Some inflation but it everywhere inflation and pays was almost everywhere raised so it is not big deal.westerns nigers block some sites from ru
>>518011851Russia is single handedly holding Ukraine and 42 countries with the small help of North Korea (couple of troops and shells) and Iran (couple of shaheh-136).Remember after 6 months of war when there were plenty of articles claiming Russia was running out of ammunition? That is a clear example of war-time propaganda. There are not running out of anything. Their country is so big they have access to all materials and their neighbouring countries keep buying their oil.Russia also has the best missile technology, they are the one that sent the ISS into orbit using the Zarya protonrocket, oreshnik and the Zhinkal hypersonic missile was used during that conflict, we even have videos to prove it.
>>518012436>without bombing it to dust.ASML is dead man walking now. China can create anything ASML has monopoly on.TSMC can be bomed to dust, it will only hurt American companies. China has not used TSMC since May 2000. You're a bit slow on this fact because your kikes on TV haven't revealed this to you yet.
>>518012647Your work directly supports genocide of innocent people. You don't have a soul.
>>518012436they already have KMT under CCP payroll. all that's required is a spark of major civil unrest to purge the libtards and KMT will reunify with the mainland
>>518012531i heard you guys have not been able to pay for your anime softcore porn gambling games for a while now
>>518013134>innocent
>>518013304Yeah
>>518012116Absolutely false. It's in every the ears ane eyes of person with such hate that that they have waiting lists to kill enemy
>>518011851There is a fee on buying games on steam and cars became more expensive.Also, buying shit on ebay became far mord difficult.Fucking faggot sanctions.
>>518013401Xoxols did that one though.
>>518011851Why the fuck orcs are baddies? Always have played `em in muh Warcraft.Alliance -- libshitsElves -- femshitsUndead -- lmaoUNDABOO ZAGZAGFOR THE HORDE
>>518013301>heard you guys have not been able to pay for your anime softcore porn gambling games for a while nowWell, you need to pay a middleman to do this now.Steam is 5-10% more expensive now as a result.
>>518011851Everyone is required by law to build drones on weekends. So I just worked 5/2 week and tomorrow I will also go to build drones for 8 hours. Also all paid leave is cancelled. It was 28 days before war. Then 14 days and now you have 10 on paper but you can be refused. So for real you have 0 days of paid leave
>>518013544You have forgotten daily routine of service in the temple of Our Glorious Leader.Also, each Russian has to make one AK-47 from scratch each year, else he will be fed to bears.
>>518012489>>518012541>>518012600>>518012654It would be interesting to see how the situation is outside of clearly at least middle class people. You speaking fluent english and using 4ch already puts you in the top 10% internationally connected people living in Russia. a 10% or even 20% hike on basic goods is nothing for you. Ironically, City dwellers will also be less affected by petrol prices directly.
>>518013455You genuinely disgust me. Even dogs have bigger souls.
>>518012654
>>518011851>Russians in general barely notice much change.This.
>>518013507The Horde in Warcraft 3 is noble and escaped the demons clutches, wanting independence and their own nation.You are the Horde of Warcraft 2.
>>518013644>how the situation is outside of clearly at least middle class peopleThey don't use steam, don't buy new cars and they either work for government or are employed in our shadow economy.It is middle class which is fucked by sanctions.
>>518012647I’m so fucking jealous. I have a phd in electrical engineering specializing in autonomous operational decision making, with experience working in the defense sector for a little bit as an undergrad in mechanical engineering and I get 0 callbacks from any defense company or any headhunting firm offering defense work. I work in the energy sector now because it pays well but man is it boring. I guess western defense companies now exclusively hire women and jeets. I just wanna work on rockets man…
>>518013644I'm pretty shure guys on the outskirts are even less affected, since they dont have to compete for the market as much and they buy local anyways.>>518013648>no argumentDimwit. You probably dont even know what is happening in your own city.
>>518013544How do I get this job? I'm 24 years old and I've never worked a day in my life. I need to start doing something.>>518013644>speaking fluent english and using 4ch already puts you in the top 10% internationally connected people living in Russia. Kek you're delusional. Every zoomer here can speak English, it's an easy language.
>>518013681Me fr. Beard not as long though.
>>518013644>10% or even 20% hike on basic goods is nothing for youMy earnings went up at least 30% as I am now working with sanctions law.Lower class now has the option to profit massively from war effort, either by going to contract or working for defence ministry.I won't go to the factory and I have much to lose, so all these opportunities naturally pass over me.
>>518013866>Every zoomer here can speak English, it's an easy language.You have a really bad grasp on statistics, anon. English speaking zoomers ARE less than 10% of your country.
>>518011851Our govt has been dumping their savings into the war for all this time. As a result, the economy got overheated — people got money and therefore demand, but supply was not able to catch up because of sanctions, so prices had been also going up.So for a while we had 20% interest rates to cool the economy — it was motivating people to save instead of spending.Recently the interest has been slowly declining (at ~15% atm), and now it's considered more or less stable. Overall wages and prices got increased by the same rate, however the more sanctioned and irreplaceable the good is, the more it costs.
>>518013634Gl in the Smirnoff mines
>>518013945I've seen 30+ years guys calling each other a zoomer. It is sort of lightly derogatory term here, meaning "one who is too much modern/a fan of stupid fads".
>>518013945He's probably right. Maybe 10-15 years ago knowledge of English was rare but nowadays it's relatively commonBesides you need a really basic understanding of it to chat online.
>>518014034>Gl in the Smirnoff minesI see you are a man of culture indeed.Mining vodkium ore is a dangerous task Indeed.
>>518012215russian inflation is vastly exaggerated. they're fine
>>518011851The Russian economy is not a war economy. It's a normal civilian consumer economy with a few state-owned corporations in the arms manufacturing sector, which don't even enjoy special resource access privileges. Russia is freely trading with almost all of Asia, where the center of the world economy and the majority of the global Great Powers is located. The sanctions regime is located on the fringe of the world economy, North America and Europe, and has basically only one Great Power, the US of A. All the other countries who sanction Russia are either minor nations like the UK and Germany, or insignificant small satellites like Lithuania, Canada, Australia.
>>518012220>A naval blockade would wreck China, Wang.The US is incapable of any such action. Oh and China has the world's largest navy.
>>518013945>English speaking zoomers ARE less than 10% of your country.Nah, where do you get this information? I live here and all my friends can speak English.
>>518014160Also there is a massive shadow economy which is always hunted my our Tax Service but still manages to slip away.
>>518012489inflation rose by 50% in 3 years, mostly due ukraine war, a car that I wanted to buy 10.800€ here in 21 is 18.000€ now, and another car that was 20.000€ is 28.800€.europe is at war as well, so we get the same problems.
>>518013945>You have a really bad grasp on statistics, anon. English speaking zoomers ARE less than 10% of your country.It is a basic skill here. How tf are you going to shitpost in Dota and CS, our national sports?
>>518014060>>518014093To be clear: I am not saying only 10% of people living in the Russian Federation can speak basic english.I am saying the anons I responded to in this thread are clearly in the top 10% internationally connected of their country. Speaking basic english is not the same as discussing abstract ideas on 4ch. If we remove the zoomer attribute I would say its about 25% of people living in Russia right now are capable of this particular discussion. but w/e. But yes, its obvious general english skills have improved massively in the last 10-15 years, this is very true for countries like Poland, Romania, Finland, and dare I say, Hoholstan, too.
>>518014232>Nah, where do you get this information? I live here and all my friends can speak English.>You have a really bad grasp on statistics
>>518014285Fucking hell I hate these games so much.
>>518012215Guessing you're housing a Ukrainian (unlikely) or you're literally parroting that shite from some MSM news site you ogle at all day
>>518011851European taxes, african salaries, absolutely cucked country
>>518012967the only thing we don't have is skilled labor because 30 years of the service based economy and no competitive manufacturing created the conditions where nobody wants to be an engineer or a machinist. it just didn't pay. Now Russia suddenly NEED to make things urgently so I, a 30 years old dude who had some experience 6 years ago am now treated as world class talent, designing certain things for the technicians who are learning how to use the tools as they go.
>>518014329You are no true Russian man then.Now tell me you don't have Crusader Kings installed.
>>518014302>25% of people living in Russia right now are capable of this particular discussionPeople don't have this discussion not because they can't, but because they don't give a shit

>>518013821>I’m so fucking jealous. I have a phd in electrical engineering specializing in autonomous operational decision making,Just put your resume up on HH, they'll call you. I remember being unable to find any engineering work in Moscow, then they invited me to Zelenograd and it's like a different world. Zelenograd is where all the tech is and I had no idea.
>>518014374>the only thing we don't have is skilled labor because 30 years of the service based economy and no competitive manufacturing created the conditions where nobody wants to be an engineer or a machinist. it just didn't pay.>Now Russia suddenly NEED to make things urgently so I, a 30 years old dude who had some experience 6 years ago am now treated as world class talent, designing certain things for the technicians who are learning how to use the tools as they go.This.I know a guy. He is basically a retard and steroid junkie.But he knows how to code microchips and weld and suddenly he is treated as a fucking Oppenheimer at his factory.
>>518014405that might be true, but I doubt more than 25% of alive people in the russian federation are able to have the discussion we are having right now, in english.dont forget the young who havent yet learned and the old who cant learn fast anymore.
>>518014430>trolls>my niggas...Fully agreed. Also imagine their orgies.
>>518014485Ah ha ha. I have a feeling i know your guy too.
>>518014485KekI know guys like that.Mainly because that guy is me.

Hehehe im wondering if those russian citizens torn to shreds in those cold and damp trenches also picture themselves like that xDDD Every dead hohol is at least 3 dead russians and it's a sacrifice i'm willing to take
>>518012471Do the games you bought before still work?Do you get updates?
>>518014693Taras, get back to your farm, pan is missing his bydlo.
>>518012215The inflation-adjusted real wages in Russia are growing by 5+% per year. The sanctions-related market disruptions and import price spikes lie almost four years in the past, there's not much left of them. Russia is mostly self-sufficient resource-wise, the foreign trade is a relatively small part of the Russian economy. And what can EU and US even produce that China cannot deliver cheaper and in higher quality?This entire war has proven how weak and unimpressive the western sanctions weapon has become. Everyone buys Russian commodities. While nobody in Russia buys European products anymore.
>>518014617>Stalker GammaI am still laughing at my random screenshot.>Even in Death I must Heiland the name, too
>>518012215Let me tell you about your country.
>>518014702Steam is still working and I highly doubt that even our idiots will try to block it. That would be too much even for them.
>>518014702We can buy everything you can, but there is a markup around 10 percent. And it is disrespectful from Gaben.What goes at console market, I don't know, they are kids and retards who bought into closed ecosystems anyways.

>>518014814There have been Steam games that have hidden content meant to spread news from the outside world to russians, to get around your censorship.
>>518014744Man St2 is such an embarassment, I'm not buying it even on a 95% discount.
>>518014888I don't need money that much to go to war anyway.Let poorfags and adrenaline junkies kill hohols, I fully support them living happy, fulfilling and eventful lives.A year in Ukraine sets you up for a good pile of cash and a great career opportunities.
>>518015025>Man St2 is such an embarassment, I'm not buying it even on a 95% discount.Are you fucking mad, buying a hohol game?
>>518014879>you forgot to turn off your vpnBack to your toilet cleaning, Janeck
>>518015025>Man St2 is such an embarassmentI dont understand why it got so much hate, actually I think it has something to with it being a Ukrainian game.I had alot of fun playing it. But I just like sneaking, dare I say stalking, through dark old factories and getting surprised.Not groundbreaking, but pretty solid,7.5/10
>>518015085Read my post again. I said I'm NOT buying it.
>>518014951Wut? We all have vpns, for fucks sake, since forever.Remember when US assholes started to block torrent trackers? That's when.And our main information source is telegram anyways.
>>518011851Lots of work that needs to be done as their economy falls short 1 100 000 men. The borders keeps closed and we will shoot down any HIV infected drones.
>>518014239Effective fiscal enforcement would bring a huge boost to the public finances and the public infrastructure spending in Russia. Lowering private market costs for production and transport all across the board.I assume a common mindset in the provincial elites is "the emperor is far away and doesn't care anyway". But the Soviet Union could do it right, China can do it right. The RF should be able to do it right too.
>>518014475>Just put your resume up on HH, they'll call you.Put your resume up on ... Hail Hitler?
>>518015139Even a thought about buying it at less than 5% of its price is shameful and can't be discussed.It's not even because st2 is made by disgusting hohols, it's because they try to sell you a half-baked shit pile of code.
>>518014951It always made me laugh. What fucking censorship? The only censorship I see comes from you guys. Most websites are blocked not by our government but by the website owners. Not to mention that all this “truth” is complete nonsense that doesn't match reality if you just look out the window.>>518015117Instead of being an original and unique game like the originals it's just generic Farcry clone

>>518015153>And our main information source is telegram anyways.Kremlin telegram channels are not reliable sources for information, I'm sure you know.>>518015250>no we don't have censorship you doI never understood this kind of russian mental gymnastics. You live in one of the most censored and least free countries in the world. The fact that western countries do not have any of that kind of censorship and are very free is completely alien to you. But because you're brainwashed by government propaganda, you believe their lies over the truth. Are you able to access western MSM sites and read news about the Ukraine war without a VPN, out of curiosity?
>>518014374Your average polytechnical education is still leagues better than in Germany. Everything went to the dogs here with the so-called "reunification" and the introduction of the West German model to all of Germany. The American occupation has been working hard to dumb them down to American levels for three generations. You can barely even talk to those clowns anymore. Narcissists and imposters galore, genuinely high-skilled men are rarer than faithful women.
>>518014931>you imposter.Nah, in my orchish localizagtion it`s fucking "wind". Due to purely poetical beauty oldies did a right translation choice for russian "Veter (wind)" instead of original "Storm".>>518014931>good timesOh man.
>>518015250>Instead of being an original and unique game like the originals it's just generic Farcry cloneFair critique, I gotta say. In my opinion it did improve and continue the atmosphere I felt playing the very original first game. >>518015280>>no actual A-life from the previous trilogyNot sure what this means, is this story related? I have only completely finished the very first game.>AI is garbageEhh, it does do some basic tactics sometimes, but overall its not very good, true.>NPC models make it impossible to tell friend from foeKind of true, but I dont mind it, thats the chaos of combat.>xoxol language up the assTrue but caring about that doesnt seem like a game critique motivation.
>>518011851>under a war economywe dont have it yet

>>518015379>Are you able to access western MSM sites and read news about the Ukraine war without a VPN, out of curiosity?Plenty of Western websites often won't let you visit them and just spam “stop the war” message across the entire screen. Most Western news sites are still working but the obvious enemy propaganda channels are blocked.

>>518015622>the point is, they put it in the game out of spiteHuh, did they? Did absolutely nobody in the first stalker speak Ukrainian? >out of spiteI mean, that much was obvious when "Russian" was literally the last selectable language in the settings, after Chinese and shit, I kind of keked at the pettiness of it. >>518015667You are obviously upset and what you said makes no logical sense if you think about, I am gonna leave you be since you apparantly saw some sort of insult in your head and needed to response with nationalism.
>>518015817Yep, absolutely zero xoxol language in the first three games. Non-russian speakers even put their games on Russian voiceover because of how good it was.
>>518015379>I never understood this kind of russian mental gymnastics. You live in one of the most censored and least free countries in the world.Russia has a smaller population than UKUK jails 10 times as many people as Russia does for speech. The UK censorship is roughly 30 times worse than the russian.
>>518015410>>xoxol language up the ass>True but caring about that doesnt seem like a game critique motivation.Even if you don't mind the Ukrainian language it just sounds awful in the game. None of the people who voiced the game can speak Ukrainian at a level sufficient to voice games.>>518015717Mostly Ukrainian websites and stuff sponsored from abroad like “Radio Svoboda” The only big one is BBC News, everything else is completely irrelevant

>>518015817Have a (you) of grace, bot. Ukranny lost btw
>>518015939>Non-russian speakers even put their games on Russian voiceover because of how good it was.The original game I played never had any other. I specifically remember inviting my friend from school (Ukrainian) to translate whatever the fuck the Wishmaker says in the final parts. Its like playing Gothic II in english. fuck that.
>>518016009>None of the people who voiced the game can speak Ukrainian at a level sufficient to voice games.I will admit that this would fly right over my head, I am not familiar enough. It sounds like "softer" Russian, with more "i" sounds than "o" sounds, kind of like a mix of Russian and Polish, to my very ignorant ears. But its not really what I wanna get into.
>>518016062Like you see normal people having normal discussions and you act like this, what is wrong with you? How is me understanding basic statistics some fucking nationalistic insult.

>>518015953>Russia has a smaller population than UKRussia's population is 3 times larger, wtf are you on?>UK jails 10 times as many people as Russia does for speech.That old lie again. It's sad how russians are so stupid to believe everything kremlin tells you. It is simply not true. And we have seen you post that unsourced low quality meme pic before.>The UK censorship is roughly 30 times worse than the russian.Funny how you can't give a single specific example. Tell us how many people in the UK have been arrested for holding a blank piece of paper outside? We can tell you how many russians it has happened to.
>>518015817>>518015939Original Stalker games had a full Ukrainian text translation, but the voice acting was only partial because most of the voice actors did not even knew Ukrainian.
>>518011851>muh sanctionyou would believe much weaker Iraq would fall from them, yet it still took boots on the ground (and worked half assed anyway)
>>518015622I never found that system very impressive. Big ambitions, big talk, sure. But the actual product was just the usual scripted behavior, the actual NPCs were barely more intelligent than a thermostat. It's even less impressive from the current perspective, with actual AI around. I would love to play Unreal Tournament or Stalker against a squad of AI-controlled NPCs. Real AI, not that overhyped 2000's scriptbot shit.
>>518016009I don't quite get you, are you saying BBC News is "enemy propaganda"? As usual, you russians avoid answering the question and sperg out with more kremlin propaganda.
>>518015451It is not a joke. We really have an AI working with Tax Service.I had a court case vs a failed detection by it, and lost on the basis of "ai data is more liked by the court", even if incorrect.
>>518016228Go and burn a Talmud in public. Tell us about the results.
>>518016250USA is conquering countries on the other side of this planet. Russia is losing a war to its next door neighbour with completely flat farmland with no natural advantages.
>>518016269>I don't quite get you, are you saying BBC News is "enemy propaganda"?...yes it most certainly is?I'd say, even British people would agree with this.
>>518016282Interesting.
>>518016269No, I'm saying that BBC is the only somewhat real (It's still propaganda as fuck) news source that has been banned. Everything else is complete garbage from Ukraine or sponsored by US/Europe designed against us
>>518016369Propaganda generally means saying things that are false. Can you link to one recent BBC article that has a lie in it? Something that's not true? It's not like russian state media, where 99% of everything said is a lie.
>>518016389They're continuously updating it, the shit is scary.When a detection is made, human officer has to make a case AGAINST it if he doesn't want to put it in action.Naturally, no one wants to argue with an AI.Courts see the telltale AI-generated proof models (A1 printout, quite telling) and very rarely read the defense points, if at all.So, the money and brainpower starts to be invested into grey schemes, which, in turn, pushes the Tax to invest more
>>518016626>Propaganda generally means saying things that are falseNo, it means distributing politically motivated messages and news. Me saying that switzerland has better conditions for entrepeneurs and you should start companies there and not in Austria is both propaganda and true.
>>518016689>tfw capitalistbot takes over
>>518016626>Propaganda generally means saying things that are falseOh god, you're retarded
>>518016010>>Limbless burnedfaced cuck>>and a great career opportunitiesKek, war is money. Yes, you could die but most likely you will return fucking loaded and your friends will go too.
>>518012471>not pirating gamesWhat kind of Russian you are?
>>518016353How is your conquest of Afghanistan going?
>>518016468>designed against usWell, if the truth and facts are against you, then maybe that says something about you. Maybe you shouldn't do daily terrorist attacks on civilian populations, for example.
>>518011851>Retard doesn't know what a war economy is
>>518017196Most of these "news" aren't even real news, just made-up bullshit with a call to action.
>>518016689I argue with AI models all the time. Only a matter of time until someone finds a way to exploit the naive trust of your judges in a gloriously scandalous way.
>>518012003It almost seems like they aren't at war at all? Is it just people living on the eastern front living in a war zone with the rest just worried about rockets hitting their cities?
>>518017190We got tired of keeping military there forever + Russia actually lost against Afghanistan in the 1980's.
>>518017306Can you give one specific example? You never do when asked, for some reason. Russia bombs civilians daily in terrorist attacks, that's a fact.
>>518017511Nah, I've got better things to do than rummage through a pile of shit.> Russia bombs civilians daily in terrorist attacks, that's a factWe don't need to visit random news websites to find propaganda like this. It's a pity (for you) that no one cares because Ukrainians have just flooded the entire internet with gore videos and threats. It's too late to appeal to sympathy now.
>>518012116YeahAs would losing all the computer chips they import from Taiwan
>>518011851Apart from clowning in media and trolling western woke left with more fun there're no much significant changes in my life. Feels good.
>>518017306I see them as behavioral instructions: "If you get involved in a war discussion today, this is your government-approved range of allowed viewpoints. Any deviation from it might cost you your job, your health, your existence. Heil Ursula!"
>>518017688>Ukrainians have just flooded the entire internet with gore videos and threats. It's too late to appeal to sympathy now.This. After their /uhg/ tier genocidal spam everywhere, I don't care how many of their civilians are bombed, they chose to fight "orcs", orcs it is. Also neither the Ukrainian ruling elite nor Europe is going to negotiate for real, they will be spamming us in hohol waves to the last hohol. It's THD either way.
It's okay. There are talks about on a local pikabu (plebbit analogue where they despise minorities and spit on govt). But it's nothing out of the ordinary it's just one of these days, everybody sucks, everything is fucked..>>518012116Yes. They bought a lot of chips from them, so you can expect a HUGE worldwide chip shortage. Nothing like during 2020s, much MUCH worse.
>>518017688Russians commit daily terrorist attacks in Ukraine. It's only a matter of time before you try it in European countries. Russian agents have already been caught a few times inside Europe planning terrorist attacks. It's stupid that we are still not reacting. It's time to end this and put russia down like the rabid chihuahua it is. A few thousand NATO troops marching into moscow would be all that's needed.
>>518018285>they chose to fight "orcs"And you chose to fight "nazis".
>>518016806Well, war is money but not for soldats but for elites and oligarchs>>518016182I wouldnt say cheap, it's well priced
For me bad happened, quite different actually. Salaries are up and I greatly improved my quality of life. There is no 'scarcity' in a term you would imagine, like empty shelf. Just visited two shops and they are full, bought a food for myself with no problem.Sanctions basically boosted Russian industry (because before they out-competed Russian companies), so sanctioning Russia was the most stupid decision in human history. You literally gave Russian companies low-competing market that they filled pretty fast.
>>518018585*nothing bad happenedfix
>>518018416You can stop. Ursula is not going to let you sniff her cunt, no matter how loyal and servile you present yourself here.
>>518018617Imagine the smell.
>>518018513>war is money but not for soldats but for elites and oligarchsElite either flee the country or sever all ties with overseas, either way making things worse than ever. They probably lost the most from this whole war and sanctions.Meanwhile soldiers get paid extremely well
>>518018798>Meanwhile soldiers get paid extremely well>probably lost the most from this whole war and sanctions.This is on Hillaries "women suffer the most in all wars" tier.
>>518011851Befor the war we used to pay for our apartments 5k rubes now it's 10
>>518013644>You speaking fluent english and using 4ch already puts you in the top 10% internationally connected people living in RussiaAhahahahahah
>>518011851doesn't feel much like a war economy desu. some stuff got stupid expensive, but in some cases it's not even a russia specific thing, like nvidia GPU pricing being bullshit is a global thing
>>518016228>The UK censorship is roughly 30 times worse than the russian.>Funny how you can't give a single specific example.Well how about being required to use a passport to access 90% of the most common internet services? Oh yeah that's Kremlin propaganda to make the protection of children seem like censorship
>>518017196Do you genuinely believe that there is no bias against Russia in western MSMs and it's always reported on objectively? I have never met a someone more brainwashed than this in my real life. Even the most obnoxious vatnik can recognize biases
>>518019678>being required to use a passport to access 90% of the most common internet servicesWhat a surprise, the brainwashed russhit is spewing complete nonsense. You take something that is actually real and then wrap it in lies so it's 1% truth, but to you that's still truth.And funny because you can't even access most of the internet at all without a VPN. Your government doesn't want you to know the truth about how badly your war in Ukraine is going, nor how your leaders have stolen billions from you while you live in abject poverty. You can't even make fun of your weak pitiful Monke leader on the internet because you would get arrested and sent to the frontlines to be droned.
>>518020097No argument, just full on pig screeching and projecting his echochamber, ok. The quality of the westoid debate
>>518019301its so fucking funny seeing troglodytes like you being incapable of grasping basic statistics out of nationalistic nonsense.what a good slave you are.
>>518020299Yeah you talking out of your ass is definetly "statistics"
>>518019935Aтeчкa is filled to the brim with radio svoboda type shit and seething fulltime in every thread Russia mentioned for years. retardo lost it completely
>>518011851They're doing just fine. Russia having been sanctioned forever made them innovate to get around sanctions. The BRICS countries are all Russia needs to not only stay afloat but to thrive. According to the US Russia's economy was supposed to have collapse a gorillion times by now, but they're chugging along just fine.
>>518020097>Your government doesn't want you to know the truth about how badly your war in Ukraine is going, nor how your leaders have stolen billions from you while you live in abject povertyYou talking about the EU or Russia?I can't even tell at this point.
>>518020287Yep, the slave got triggered by the truth. Are you looking forward to being drafted and sent to the front lines to be sacrificed for Putin's fifth palace with golden toilets?
>>518012194>Russians are running out of potatoes!>Russians are running out of eggs!>Russians are running out of toilets!>Russians are running out of FUEL! (lmao)Man can you guys get a room because this is annoying to anyone above midwit IQ.
>>518020608Same goes for the Russian side because I don't know how exactly they plan to kill all Ukrainian men because killing all the men has happened in like Paragyuan war and nowhere else.
Da tovarish economy not katastrof only normal katastrof. No gasoline very good pay after entire villages wiped out of men and 21% annual interest rates to control inflation.
all the lying russian flags in this thread
>>518020693>just 2 more weeks until Russia collapses, go--I mean guys>source?>le kyiv independent of course, you dumb chudYou've been saying that for 3 years now, get a new line you faggot ass nafoid
>>518020805All me btw
>>518020886>russia didn't collapse yet, that means russia stronkThe desperate cope of russhit shills.
>>518020369You responding like an animal is def. a counter argument to my statistics, fucking snownigger.
>>518021096Two more weeks? Maybe the next round of sanctions will do it?
>>518020672With enough time, I guess. The more the status quo of this war remains unchaged the more Ukrainian and Russian men die. Both Russia and EU seem to agree on this point.
>>518021096How many more weeks do we have to wait?Also, are you really Swiss or are you that visajeet who spergs out in every India hate thread?
>>518021057all the lying other flags in this thread. still hidden russians.
>>518021130You haven't provided any statistics to counter, you're genuinely tranny levels delusional. The burden of proof is on the one making the unhinged statement
>>518021589>seething germanoid cuckShouldn't you be sucking Israel's cock? What are you doing here?
>>518021718just checking on russian propaganda. did you get gas this week?
>>518021589Stfu and go kill yourself, t*rkroach
>>518021153At the current pace maybe 1-2 more years. The russian economy is starting to crumble. Not even Putin is trying to deny it anymore. You never leave home so you wouldn't know but there are severe gas shortages and it's only going to get worse.
>>518021855kek
>>518013866>Kek you're delusional. Every zoomer here can speak English, it's an easy language.How dare you...
>>5180216361.1 million dead or maimed russian soldiers. 21% interest rate. Gasoline shortages. Tripled prices of potatoes and bread. Recession only deepening. And so on. Why do you still think russia stronk?
>>518013304Russniggers are subhuman who don't have empathy or any sympathy, go die in a trench
>>518022108Everything you said is true, we are collapsing, Crimea about to be retaken any day now, I'm hiding a ukrainian flag for when the western liberators enter
nice specs btw. amd ryzen 9 7950x 16 core. 32 gig ram. amd radeon rx 7900 xtx. :3
>>518021173Except the contact line is manned pretty thinly compared to the past wars, attack and defense is done by small teams, nobody is grouped and from the Ukrainian side there's sole focus on drone operators.And all of those guys are sleeping underground.So I don't know how exactly Russians can kill several million more of Ukrainians in this setup.This is no longer 2022 where either side is sleeping in some building serving as barracks which gets hit with one bomb and takes away lives of 150 people.
>>518012003>Most of Russia doesn't even notice it. 35% inflation since the start of the war>Most of Ukraine is living like there is no war.you're a retarded faggot. air raid sirens going off in every population center daily still.
>>518013301Xsolla came to the rescue
>>518011851Russia is nowhere near a war economy. The most regular people feel is higher rent prices and army ads.
>>518012489I honestly think we are suffering more from the war than you guys are. Since it started, everything is so much more expensive. But the western countries made it clear that we are the ones who needs to fund/build Ukraine back up again, so it’s basically better for everyone if russia takes all of ukraine at this point.
>>518025781You can always go back to Russia & sign up to the front if you want to compare the situations.
>>518024150I think you need to realise how big russia is and big areas are underdeveloped and self proficient. A guy living in a village somewhere making his own alcohol, buys food at a local market etc. my gfs family is Romanian and their family lives in a town not far from the ukraine border and they drink homemade wine, homemade spirits, drink milf from a pan. Like it came straight from the cow. And buy everything locally. Most of Western Europe can’t comprehend this as locally made stuff to us is more of a luxury.
>>518026215Russia is underdeveloped everywhere outside of the two main cities. You don't even need to go more than a few minutes from moscow's center to see all the backwards poverty. Something like 90% of russia's population doesn't even have access to indoor plumbing.
>>518026020I would never want to fight myself, and why would I fight for Russia? I’m not a fan of Russia or Putin, but in this case I’m less of a fan of Ukraine. It’s the same with Palestine, and Israel. I don’t support any of them, but I’m less of a fan of Israel.
>>518024150We've had at least 35% inflation since the start of covid. 50% in some sectors.
>>518026340Defending our borders from an empire is not a football game.
This thread really shows how delusional belters are
>>518026545if they were an empire they would have exterminated you like rats when you sided with the Nazis after you singed a cease fire.
>>518026305Exactly. And from what we have learned in this war, it comes down to manpower, artillery and drones. That’s it. An extremely expensive tank blows up from the same artillery shell that blows up an ancient tank. And same with equipment. High tech soldier gear and weapons can’t stand up to a farmer spraying with an old AK
>>518012472Lol a war between Pakistan and SAAARland is going to Nip that in the bud. The skirmish was to evaluate each sides capabilities
>>518026305>Something like 90% of russia's population doesn't even have access to indoor plumbing.lmao, people here will actually believe this

>>518026668We clearly made a mistake by not enrcircling Leningrad & letting Putin live.
>>518012436China responsible for all the protests in Manilla right now or just plain corruption?

>>518026735It's 3:45 in the morning in New Zealand. I wonder why someone would be up so late there defending russia on the internet and spewing low quality kremlin memes.
>>518027265>>b-b-but you spelt it wron-ack! If you did half the shit to Britian that you did to the Russians you would have ended up like the Abbos.

>>518027972Okay Ukranny maybe you can ask Ursula and mutubu how food gets to the supermarkets in the morning.
>>518028170It's strange how dumb you russian shills are on the internet and don't realize when you pick a completely retarded VPN to spew your zigger cope.
>>518028220Ah yes the Swiss expert on colonial affairs speaks again are you going to cry that we won't recognize Palestine next?
>>518012361>>518012194>seeds not getting bought from Netherlands. Which is going to result in some small potato blight, etc.>Farm equipmentFirst you borrow stuff from you neighborThen you get the local fixer to start doing weld repairsAt worst you start making bootleg partsWhat that means, is that its not a problem until you have supply chain problems with getting more material and fuel.EtcSo I don't think any of that is likely. Its fairytales, even more so when you have the fertility and land to potentially be a big net exporter.What is more likely is:1. Enough oil refineries is bombed2. ACTUAL fuel shortage, which hasn't happened yet. Queues are just demand side, yet3.. Piotr has to ration Gasoline, while the farmers get as much as they likeBut what makes this complicated is that Russia is a bunch of tier 1 city states, and some land. The city states is the last to receive tapped resources, while the farmers & miners & driillers might experience rationing long before they are needed

>>518026714Tanks were designed with the idea that enemy fire comes from the front. They're really good at taking hits from the front. Autonomous drones that can freely choose their attack vector are the end of traditional tanks. You cannot just slap armor on all sides.

>>518027197To secure their western flank. Look at the geography of that region, the choke point is at the Carpathian mountains, after that it's all plains. Russia needs its borders there to feel safe. Ukraine as a NATO country would be game over. Finland has nothing if strategic value to them.
>>518012003### Fact-Check OverviewThe claim that most in Russia and Ukraine barely notice the war, with no major industrial shifts, is largely false. Evidence from diverse sources shows significant disruptions.### RussiaMany Russians feel economic strain: inflation up 15-50% on basics, shortages, reduced goods (20% less variety), no savings for 38%, high debt. Drone attacks cause fuel shortages, airport closures. Over half report life worsening; 41% say invasion hurt daily life. Economy militarized: defense sustains factories, including civilian ones.### UkraineDaily life disrupted by raids, strikes: 42K+ civilian casualties (up 40% in 2025), 11M displaced, hunger crisis. Business closures, job scarcity, inflation, aid dependency. No transport in cities, remote schooling, mined areas. Defense production surged amid industrial decline.### VerdictStatement minimizes impacts; war affects economies, lives broadly. Balanced sources (Western, Russian, Ukrainian) confirm this. - Grok

>>518024150Just for you to know, russia had 1000% inflation in 90's in one fucking week, while being full of "american economic advisers". All the possible downsides of the current sanctions is literally nothing lol. People mostly perceive the current economy as the best in the last 50 years.
>>518026305You are a sick faggot and obvious shillA waste of life basically
