@ruigomes1098 Well, we see whatever west can do this forever, especially when their economies go into recession.

@anglet64 Well, we do know whom is going into recession - Europe is - they say they will be in recession in the last 3 months of 2022 and first 3 months of 2023. But what is multiplier of goods for that 1.4T ? If its 20 as an example, then Russia represents ending of value added product of 28T while NATO is only 18T. Clearly 28 >> 18. I think what pp do not understand that a lawyer in NY making at least 500 USD per hour needs a desk, which is nice, which costs also 500 USD. That desk needs mostly wood to be made into a desk which costs in say US (its a nice desk) $50. The said wood is from Russia and Russians get maybe $20 for it... So you say, look these poor smucks, how they can ever compete against mighty economy of Europe.... They do not realize that lawyer needs that desk to work and wood worker needs that wood to make a desk. Without that $20 for wood, 1000s of USD cannot be made in value added products. UK alone is spending on "energy subsidy" about half $$$ which Russia receives in revenue for energy sold to all of EU. If you make it a model for EU, they will spend at least 5x as much $$$ to deal with subsidies so their energy sector survives then what Russia made $$$ from energy (!) And these are just subsidies. Price of oil and gas is still super high with them - so if you count that you are probably at 10x or maybe even 15x of what Russia made - total. Or to make it uber simple, do not anger farmers, without them there would be no life ;) Many may be poor (especially in 3rd world) but they are far more important then lawyers that make 100x ... even to overall economy.

@anglet64 Let me explain this in simpler terms for you - if you are rigth, west should not even feel a fly hit it. Explain to me recession in Europe... well go ahead. Explain. Price of oil is still very high - its well above 80 USD. This is much higher then pre war level. EU has been embargoed on gas imports - notice Russia is not sending much and has leaky pipe. World bank has been constantly upgrading Russian economy. At the start of the war it was like 1/3 GDP drop. Ruble was to be removed form existence. And now what do they say, at most 6% drop. By year end at that rate it may be 0% or even plus. This is by somewhat independent agency. Russia trade with China is booming. Where do you get reduced imports???? Its booming. Growth is more then double digit. Chinese imports from Russia were so great they were #1 supplier of oil for China surpassing Saudi Arabia. You do know, Russia produced about 5% more oil after start of the war then before the war. Yeah... more. So much for sanctions. I also fact checked your trading partners BS - out of top 10 trading partners only 5 sanctioned Russia. Out of top 30, 10 did not sanction. You do not understand simple economics of value added product. A poor country such as Ukraine may be important if it is a very large producer of basic commodity. Even poor countries in Africa may be very important - if what they produce is then heavily value added on. Reliance on simply looking at dollars got these idiots in EU into recession.

@anglet64 Let me explain to you this way, I did not say Russian economy is worth more then NATO, I said it is essential as without its basic products advanced economies cannot do value added production. I looked at trading partners of Russia and exposed you BS. You lied. You made stuff up. I gave you out of 10, 20 and 30. Russian budget is set to survive oil at around $45. Learn about basic economics - clearly you have no clue about value adding. May also stop you clear lies and BS spreading.

@anglet64 First of all I did look up trading partners - you did not. 2nd of all type of export counts - Russian export is raw resources so they are not married to EU - the can sell elsewhere. 3rd of all Russian economy is doing fine - even according to world bank. 4th of all unemployment in Russia is low compared to the west - their manufacturing is up by double digits. 5th of all many business that west closed are reopened again - with huge loss to western companies and big gain to Asia - some of these were bought for less then 10% of their value, some for like 1% - essentially free. So don't expect that these are just "gone". Russian exports and revenue are UP - even the west says they are up. Their production is up in oil compared to 2021, the oil price on average is much higher so they made a lot of $$$ extra. I do not fudge the numbers, you just need to cope with the fact that sanctions failed.
