@Jimmy-ye3wg Where do you get this stuff? Ukrainian food exports are at pre war levels, Agriculture accounts for 63% of export revenue.

@Jimmy-ye3wg Trump also said Russia was a "weakened state right now, one because of Ukraine and a bad economy."

@Jimmy-ye3wg Feel free to look it up instead of making silly posts on youtube.

@yagsipcc287 There aren't WB or IMF detectives to investigate economies. Russia self reports their cooked numbers and are taken at face value.

@yagsipcc287 Chemezov, head of Rostec said about the economy. "It is simply not profitable for enterprises to use borrowed funds, as I have already said many times. It is just that if we continue to work like this, then practically the majority of enterprises will go bankrupt," He warned that this situation could lead to "stagflation." Nabiullina countered that lowering interest rates will lead to extreme inflation. So one of those is the future, stagflation or hyperinflation. But yeah, everything is going great.

@yagsipcc287 It's funny how you think you know more than the head of the Russian central bank and the CEO of one of the largest arms producers in Russia. You don't.

@yagsipcc287 It's also funny how you feel compelled to make up stuff that's so easy to look up. The EU's top exports are Cars ($361B), Packaged Medicaments ($288B), Refined Petroleum ($251B), Vaccines, blood, antisera, toxins and cultures ($203B), and Motor vehicles; parts and accessories. ($179B). While agriculture was $240B.

@yagsipcc287 There aren't world bank and IMF detectives who investigate countries economies. Russia self reports their cooked numbers and the IMF and WB take them at face value. Moreover all of the supposed growth is due to massive government spending on their military, it isn't real growth or sustainable.

@yagsipcc287 Sergey Chemezov, CEO of the state-owned Rostec said about the economy. "There is no 20 percent profitability anywhere. Even the sale of weapons does not bring such a profit," "It is simply not profitable for enterprises to use borrowed funds, as I have already said many times. It is just that if we continue to work like this, then practically the majority of enterprises will go bankrupt," he said. He warned that this situation could lead to "stagflation," referring to economic conditions of slow growth, high unemployment, and rising prices. Chemezov's concerns echo those made recently by other Russian businessmen, who warn that the high borrowing costs could hamper economic growth. Nabiullina countered that lowering interest rates will lead to rampant inflation. So one of those is Russia's future, stagflation or hyperinflation.

@yagsipcc287 Moreover inflation in the Eu is 2.1%, it is 8.9% in Russia. And that is all with an interest rate at 21% ( 3% in EU), which is set to rise to 23% by the end of the year. Nobody has interest rates that high for single digit inflation and the actual inflation in Russia is likely 2-3 times larger than the official number.

@yagsipcc287 EU inflation and interest rates are a fraction of what they are in Russia goofy.

@yagsipcc287 Another pointless comment that addresses absolutely nothing. Good job.

@yagsipcc287 Little buddy you came into this thread saying this was "some of the dumbest crap I have ever read." So save your tears ok. You then make the claim that Russia is doing great, based on a misunderstanding of what the IMF and WB actually do. They take Rostats own made up numbers for their claims, you understand that right?

@yagsipcc287 After that you proceed to make up a bunch of data saying that "exports are up on almost everything." which is laughably untrue, hydrocarbon revenues are down by over 50% since the start of the war, no big deal though right? That's only 40% of all state revenue in Russia. Russia's revenues from agri-food exports are expected to shrink by 25% compared with the 2023 figure, and arms exports have disappeared almost entirely. You then say "Europe no longer make much outside of food items and other small bits and pieces." which again is laughably untrue as I showed with actual data, not imaginary facts you made up in your head.

@yagsipcc287 I provided statements from head of Rostec and the head of the central bank about the absolute state of the Russian economy, which you completely ignore and instead engage in pointless whataboutery for some reason.

@yagsipcc287 "ha so says the person who hasn't addressed the fact that nearly all major companies in Europe especially Germany are down." This is the first post you brought up this point, so yeah I haven't addressed something you hadn't said before because I don't have magical powers. The main stock market index In the Euro Area (EU50) increased 449 points or 9.94% since the beginning of 2024. The main stock market index in Russia (MOEX) decreased 548 points or 17.69% since the beginning of 2024 The markets don't tell the whole story but it's a fairly good indicator of how businesses are doing.
