  1. guess russia learned a very simple truth: It is much easier to find a new supplier, than it is to find a new customer. If you have money and are willing to pay, there will always be someone willing to supply. It may take a few years to build new supply chains, but no supplier is irreplaceable. Finding a new market is much harder, especially if you are seen as an unreliable supplier.

  12. it is not real growth. A wartime economy will increase gdp in the short term, but it brings no actual long term value to russia. If I used my retirement fund to buy firecrackers, then it would increase my economic activity. But it does not make me richer.

  13.  @QwertAsdfg-ih1ow  turned off the gas flow to Germany, to put pressure on Germany.

  14.  @QwertAsdfg-ih1ow  doesn't matter. Russia turned the energy supply into a tool for leverage. Who would want to be dependent on russian energy after that?

  15.  @FischerNilsA  so why did Gazprom recently announce a $6,8 billion loss in 2023? Reality does not agree with your narrative...
