You can officially have a very low unemployment, and even you can have a really low unemployment, but it is also about the type of employment you have and the salary you will get for it. This includes the fact that if the currency looses value, salaries fall comparatively.
The RF, as any other country can do without external investment, perhaps better than others I reckon since the economy is based on commodities and raw goods exports, but, as the USSR proves, it eventually makes the country less competitive and inflation creates chaos.
As resilient as it is, history proves that this does not end up well.
Now its like the global financial crisis, poke your finger at any country and see how well things are going, everywhere you will find problems similar or even worse than in Russia - and this is without any sanctions. It's just the nature of the moment.
It reminds me 2023 forecasts by Medvedev, did you got influenced by him? But from what I remember you're not doing very well with future predictions. Russia from main security threat for Europe turning into security guarantee of Europe - that's good one.
Medvedev was definitely wrong in at least one point of his forecast - having predicted the possible collapse of the Bretton Woods monetary system, he did not take into account that it collapsed back in 1976.
Leaving people without electricity, water and heating in the middle of winter is everyday inonvenience - that's interesting logic. Paкeты дoбpa, like one propagandist called it:
https://t.me/logikamarkova/4625Let's take a sober look at things and call them by their proper names. How many people actually froze to death or died of thirst from interruptions in the supply of heat, water and electricity due to Russian missile attacks on the power grid? One hundred? Thousand? No, the death toll is close to zero. What kind of genocide is this? Common everyday inconvenience. Don't be dramatic.
It will be a great success if Europe manages to avoid a big war next year. Everything that is happening in Ukraine now is, by and large, not a story about Ukraine, it is a struggle for the redistribution of spheres of influence in Europe. Russia is not satisfied with the current state of affairs, in which Europe is actually occupied by the United States and is under the protection of NATO. According to Russia, this is a threat to its security and generally destabilizes the situation in the region. I think following the results of the special operation in Ukraine, continental Europe will pass under the military protectorate of Russia. That is, Russia will be the guarantor of security in Europe and ensure stability in the region.
be, you are dreaming. Only with an increase of a 1% of GDP in military spending in the EU the military power of Europe would surpass the RF. And that is happening already - guess thanks to who.
Not to mention the abundant evidence given by the RF not having most of the claimed capabilities, the number of vehicles, the technology, the manufacturing capacity... This war has evidenced that the RF army is unable to reach any objective even against a theoretically inferior enemy, with a weaker economy and a bad starting strategic situation.
For example, and I take this with a "pinch of salt", a brit general recently declared: "I am going to inform Putin of something that his generals do not dare to say: You do not have enough artillery shells for fighting". An American sources says that there's a "critical shortage" of shells and even other war "staples".
Instead of dreaming of the great Russia, you should be waking up to the harsh reality of a broken system.
I just realistically assess the situation, it seems you are dreaming and fantasizing here. Europe is now almost completely demilitarized, its armories are almost empty. She would be happy to increase the supply of military aid to Ukraine, but she cannot. And an increase in military spending by 1% of GDP does not solve this issue in the near or even more distant future, because GDP percentages cannot shoot. And Europe cannot accelerate military production, because it is in a state of severe energy shortage and is more concerned about how to survive this winter on the accumulated gas reserves in storage facilities, and then how to fill these storage facilities again by next winter. Europe is not able to defend itself, it is forced to rely on an external security guarantor. Today it is the USA, tomorrow it may be Russia. Europe will fall under anyone who turns out to be stronger and spreads her legs herself. After the Second World War, this position is familiar to her.
What kind of genocide are we talking about?
The attack on the Ukrainian people with the intent of erasing them as a nation and/or destroying their country. That kind of genocide. It's been 10 months, try to keep up.
Nonsense. It is not Russia, but Zelensky who is engaged in the genocide of the Ukrainian people. It is he who consistently pursues a policy of "fighting to the last Ukrainian" and it is he who has legally banned himself from peace negotiations with Russia. This is the genocide of the Ukrainian people. Even if Zelensky achieves success in his strategy and continues his senseless war without a chance of success until the last Ukrainian, the Ukrainian people will not completely disappear from the face of the earth, if only because there are several million refugees from Ukraine in Russia and no one is oppressing them here.
I am surprised by the schizoid behavior of your behavior here and the behavior of your supporters in a virtual uncompromising struggle against Russian aggression. You are almost simultaneously boasting about the numerous successes of Ukraine on the battlefields, which, they say, a little more and the victory of Ukraine is not far off. And while complaining about the genocide. Decide already, is Ukraine winning or is it being systematically destroyed?
