If they are admiting this publicly, the situation must be much, much worse.

    Don't worry guys Trump is helping as much as he can! Causing a global oil crisis and then lifting sanctions on Russia has massively increased the profits Putin is getting from oil.

    They can't. Russia's economy is only war now. Large parts of the private sector went bankrupt some time ago. Stopping the war would also cause an economic crash

    plus 1million+ men fled russia early in the war too. since russia has 144m people, they lost 1/14 population from that alone, and then the "deaths and casualties"

    Sorry the math ain't mathing. 1M is a lot, and russia has significantly damaged its demographics, but the math just ain't mathing

    Nah, it works out fine. If you lose 1 in 144, that clearly calculates to 1 in 14. Maybe even 1 in 1. Anybody seen Russia lately?

    There is a very simple answer.

    Have more babies, right? Or failing that, kidnap children from occupied Ukraine? That'll fix everything, immediately!

    Oh, and send more young men into the meat grinder. That'll help too.

    There are sometimes Russian news of courts confiscating everything from yet another awful corrupt person, that somehow infiltrated crystal clear ranks of government.

    To me it always feels like Putin scrambling for spare change in the pocket: when budget is thinning just pop another corrupt official from the ones you left on the top shelf in case of a black day

    Exactly. Dude's pointing Solovjov at Elvira Nabiullina. They would have been buggered years ago if she wasn't such a genius (or allowed to resign). Now they've even burned through their gold reserves.

    Twisted wiener up their own ass buggered 👉👌

    If only we could figure out WHY everything there sucks... Couldn't be the leadership, could it? Naaaah. Could it though?

    How about we remove the one in charge since all accountability should be at that person's feet. Hmmm. Such a conundrum. Guess we'll never know.

    (Fucking snakes never know when to just fuck off. The Epstein class and the rest of parasites are ruining our world--- when are we going to stop this already??? So tired...)

    If they are saying that, does that mean they are actually not in trouble?

    How many times have we heard this story? Russia days away from collapse, Putin with cancer dead in weeks, Russia is fighting with WWII shovels, only 1 week left before Russia is out of weapons.

    Being in a war is bound to become more expensive the longer it drags. Most people, with their instant gratification, think Russia will fall any minute now, but reality is far more of a slow burn. It was obvious from the moment Russia failed to subdue Ukraine, that they would repeat the consequences of their Afghan invasion nearly 40 years ago. The Soviet defeat in Afghanistan was a slow burn that dragged for 10 years, in which the economic costs-- along with mitigating the disaster at Chernobyl-- contributed to the fall of the Soviet Union.

    I do not trust the Russians and Vlad can carry on wrecking his country. Just remember, Russia signed the Budapest Agreement and fucked it all up. Zero sympathy.
