@akselmani russian economy is doing fine, what are you talking about? Ruble is performing very well, debt payment is always secured, gas price stable, food is secure, and not much changed. Meanwhile cnbc keeps predicting the next debt default and keeps failing. I guess you are rich enough to afford the ever increasing 5 dollars a litre of gas. Meanwhile your farmers had to pay 1000 dollar for a ton of fertilizer, meaning it won't be long before the farmer either protested, stopped farming, or raise the price.

@akselmani funny how you based your economy on your experience but based russian economy on conjectures. I'm telling you from personal experience, the economy in russia is fine. Gas price stable, food is in good supplies, fertilizer is in abundance because we're one of the biggest exporters. And the west isn't the only source of high tech. Both china, israel, and several other countries has rejected embargo on tech to russia. So no, russian economy is not doing badly as you claimed.

@akselmani chinese chipset like those made by SMIC is actually okay. Plus homemade chips as well as the imports are also okay for the purpose of running the server, corporate, weaponry, etc. It is also pretty decent for its needed purposes. There's no need for a gaming grade chipset unless the situation demands. Plus, there's always a third party seller that can forward those to russia if the legal route is unavailable. And if the war did not end the way the west wants, i doubt they will lift the sanctions either. So even if the war ends, there's no guarantee the global price will stabilise. The 2014 sanction is punitive to russia, the latest ones hurt everyone in the world more than russians. even the mid/low income people in a country with a strong economy is affected. But the one that felt it the most is the poor in 3rd world countries. Egypt, africa, sri lanka. All having food shortages. Russia is seeing decreased wheat export due to sanctions and india just banned wheat export, while indonesia banned palm oil export. I fear global recession is where we are all heading.

@akselmani what are you talking about? what are the source of that? because i can tell you both the US and UK is in worse situation in the last 50 years. the contraction of rus gdp in 2022 is at 0.9% according to the EU estimate. the IAE has came out with the figure that says russian energy exports is rising this year with major sale to china and india, the latter is refining it and selling it to the EU and US at a premium. in 2023 rus will actually register growth according to the IMF, which only gonna get bigger in 2024 with the opening of new major pipeline to china. rus is actually one of the country that's going to enter major economic boom, along with china and most of asian nations, all of these while most of the asean and brics are ditching the USD. sourced from financial times, politico, BILD, as well as WaPo, all western source. it's you who talk smack.
