  1. And with Ukrainian drones hitting different oil tanks and oil refineries every day......the money making capacity of russia decreases every single week.

  2. I heard the duma tried to pass a law limiting daily withdrawals at russian banks to 10,000 dollars per day....this way it would take years for millionairres to take all their money out.

  4. Zelensky's "Special Military Humiliation of Russia" is going according to plan. Western Russia buffer zone to be renamed "Newkraine" shortly....

  5. For all those stating the west has the same problem, that is just deflecting from the SEVERITY of russias declining population. Russia reached almost 150 million people by 1990 and has been in steady decline since. BUT what the charts arent showing is that about 3 million of the brightest, most innovative and richest people have left in the last 2 years (brain drain) since the start of the war. anyone who had a good life and the economic means knew that mobilization was coming and left. The other issue is that over a million men of child bearing ages have been lost in Ukraine in the last 2 years. Now with all western businesses pulled out of russia, western sanctions, increased cost of living, increased inflation, increased bank interest rates (18% now!), people have less and less money to spend on healthy food and are turning to drugs and alcohol to numb the hunger pains. and with russia spending all its money on war, less is spent on education and health and hospitals. Putin just announced BRAND new taxes on EVERYONE this year...the first tax increase in over 25 years! And businesses will get hit the hardest. Driving the cost of EVERYTHING inside russia UP! Food producers have already stated they are increasing the cost of food 40% THIS MONTH. No doubt this is in response to new taxes coming that take away their profits. Unfortunately for most russians living on a pension...their pensions arent going up 40 % this month...meaning those barely scraping by will now be starving, and worse wont be able to afford heat next winter. It is inevitable now that russia will economically collapse within the next year....but maybe the people will revolt and throw out putin before then. Regardless something has to change or russia is doomed!

  6. Corruption, fraud, skimming, scams all lead to poor quality or missing equipment that was paid for. The other issue is russia has always over hyped everything they have, but once on the battlefield, NATO weapons have been proven to be far superior in 100% of all cases.

  7. It has been inevitable for years that russia couldnt win.......now its just a matter of does russia surrender while it still has a little bit of money and army left? Or do they pul a Hitler and fight until all the money, equipment and troops are gone? If the latter, then NATO should go into russia after it collapses and seize all their nuclear weapons.....then they cant threaten anyone ever again.

  8. So besides increasing his military budget several hundred % in the last three years, russia after spending most of its reserves, owes russian banks over 300 Billion dollars. So the reality is russia has spent more than double what they claim they have been spending on the military.....and the piggybanks are all almost empty. Sending WW2 tanks and guns to the front.....as well as donkeys as there arent enough vehicles speaks volumes.

  9. yup...putin cant hide the truth anymore...no wonder russians are leaving him!

  11. last everyone else checked russias nukes are junk. most of their old stuff was never maintained properly...and the newest SARMAT and SATAN missiles exploded in the silos. besides..who will they shoot at? Ukraine? kind of defeats the whole purpose of stealing that land then...so not going to happen

  12. Russia has worse production than china with its tofu construction. On the verge of economic collapse now!

  13. China has the right to reclaim the Manchurian provinces that russia stole from China in the 1860s. Vladivostok was called Yongmingchen for over a thousand years. Russia forced china to give up those lands when china was involved in the opium wars and was weak and couldnt afford a second front war. Ironically russia is weak now and cant afford a second front war either! NOW is the time to take back stolen chinese land!

  14. heading to collapse now the welfare fund, chinese bank accounts and gold reserves are gone.....plus russia owes all the russian banks over 300 billion in loans over the last three years...that it is impossible for those military factories to pay back....as they arent selling weapons and ammo for profit, but shipping them off to ukraine to get destroyed.

  15. Finding out this week, that putin forced banks to loan money to armament factories in russia to make tanks, shells, guns, bombs, rockets, missiles, drones for three years now....to the tune of over 250 billion US dollars......and none of that is getting sold, so their is no profits, only debt, so those banks will never get paid by the government, means they are all going to be broke very soon

  16. except you forgot a few things that are causing russia to head to collapse now, that the welfare fund, chinese bank accounts and gold reserves are gone(all of russias reserves)....plus russia owes all the russian banks over 300 billion in loans over the last three years...that it is impossible for those military factories to pay back....as they arent selling weapons and ammo for profit, but shipping them off to ukraine to get destroyed. And once russia collapses, then the war reparations to ukraine have to be paid, before the sanctions come off.....and that could be in the Trillions of dollars...

  17. Seeing how poorly russian tanks, artillery, rockets, missiles. drones, armour, helicopters, jets and air defenses worked....it is no wonder almost all contracts russia had, have been cancelled. Seeing how well western tanks, armour, artillery, rockets, missiles, manpads, Javelins and air defenses are working is increased new contracts for western weapons by everyone.....earning them more profits, to increase expanding production and R&D. And now NATO is increasing weapons and ammo production everywhere......putting them WAY ahead of russia.....

  18. 2 years of war has proven Russia's Army, Navy and Air Force to all be paper tigers...and western weapons to be flame throwers!
