If Russia did not need Europe why did they have so many pipelines? 🤔

Profit or revenue?

@igory3789 No argument. I don't watch CNN. I watch the footage of the armored vehicles blowing up. Best use of my taxpayer money. I pay, I get to watch Russian military equipment blow up while drinking the morning coffee.

Concern trolling.

German industrialists allowed this to happen. Their view is that we should jeopardize our defense and get in bed with the enemy, so I would suggest they start viewing things from a different perspective.

@derekwarner6898 That's missing the point. Now Russia has to spend money buying foreign cars, while the domestic industry suffers. Money that before didn't need to go to cars is being used on cars, and money people used to be paid by working at the car factory isn't coming. All the ways around the sanctions dorce Russia to spend more, essentially money that gets sucked into a black hole. All that extra money could be used on weapons.

@azmtkdzv But Russian TV commentators have stated Russia should use nuclear weapons.

Ruble is not physically backed, that's a fairy tale. 85% of the world is what, 120 countries you can't even point to in a map?

@slimhope1 There's not enough physical mineral/fossil deposits to back a currency. Modern economies have generated wealth beyond what's trapped in the ground. You can't back a currency with something that burns into an orange flame on everyone's home or gets turned into car exhaust fumes. The whole point of a gold backed currency in the old days is that outside of jewelry gold was really mostly useful to store value. You can't store value on gas if you need to burn it or turn it into fertilizer in the chemical industry. European countries are not paying in Rubles. They're paying in Euro to a bank account that makes the exchange, as the contracts stipulate the currency and Russia can't change them on a whim. Seven countries are not 85%. There's 195 countries. You can't point them all on a map without studying beforehand, it's just not feasible.

@harmless6813 Trump was intelligent enough to tell Germans to stop buying Russian gas.

At least you admit Russia is a gas station country.

@alexeishayya-shirokov3603 Yeah, you did: fuel for the car and shower at McDonald's. That's gas (petrol) and gas (natural).

They have record revenues because they have sold more volume.

@andrewstout5400 If they're not starved for funding why are they having to sell more? Going on a fire sale is usually a sign of desperation.

@igory3789 Nobody cares about fruits and veggies, we care about Su-57s and T-14 Armatas. Buy all the fruits and veggies you want, we just want Russia unable to project military power. China and India aren't being friendly, they're profitting.

@igory3789 How? Russia has lost a significant amount of armor and combat troops. We got what we wanted, preventing the series manufacture of modern equipment is the bonus. No Su-75 Femboys for you.

@igory3789 Russia already showed their "gestures of good will" by abandoning land. What does it matter that Ukrainians are fleeing and losing, when Russians will leave anyway? All those deaths were for nothing.

@igory3789 So how does this end? Every contract soldier gets a rotation in Ukraine for the rest of eternity, where they get shelled by Western weapons? The US called it quits in Afghanistan after 20 years, and they didn't lose as much troops as Russia lost in just 5 months. "Check facts", there was no good will not peace agreement. The Northern offensive failed, the Snake Island occupation was unsustainable as Ukrainian weapons could reach them there. There was no good will, that's COPE from the Russian propagandists who get punched every day and say the purple in their face is a new type of make up. The first phase of the offensive was unsuccessful and Russia should have known it wouldn't work. They've achieved much better success in the Donbas. Funny how there's no show of goodwill there. Only good will when they lose.
