Temporarily and thanks to trump's war jacking up the price of oil.
Wrong. Been doing fine since the beginning of the SMO. The whole bullshit line Russia is crumpling economically belongs in Klamdami's conspiracy thread. Only you, klamala and jelly buy into it
Or you could get off your lazy ass and, you know produce done facts…maybe read an article.

:blah:
Russian President Vladimir Putin made his concerns about the economy public as he vented frustration at aides and demanded they come up with solutions.

During a televised meeting on the economy Wednesday, he revealed that GDP shrank by combined 1.8% in January and February, adding that manufacturing, industrial production, and construction were negative.

“I expect to hear detailed reports today on the current economic situation and why the trajectory of macroeconomic indicators is currently below expectations,” Putin said. “Moreover, below the expectations of not only experts and analysts, but also the forecasts of the government itself and the central bank of Russia.”

The meeting was attended by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, Kremlin Deputy Chief of Staff Maxim Oreshkin, First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina, and ​the CEO of PSB ​bank.

Russia’s economy had already been slowing down as Putin’s war on Ukraine continues to keep inflation high and the labor market tight.

An economic contraction would be the first since 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine and was hit by Western sanctions that slashed energy exports.

Massive military spending helped GDP expand by 4.1% in 2023 and 4.9% in 2024. But weak oil revenue and deeper deficits forced Moscow to limit defense outlays. GDP grew by just 1% last year, and the Kremlin earlier predicted 1.3% growth this year.

How many times has trump declared the US has won the war with Iran? It's just around the corner!

The illegal invasion has cost russia in young men, world reputation, and economically. Only a fool would argue otherwise.
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

Were you just waiting to use that line just like a kid that can't contain his new joke? Blurting it out at the first chance.

What does Trump's statement on a different topic have to do with the Russian economy?

Is this you?

It highlights your double standard when it comes to anything related to trump and/or his sodomist, putin.

This was a war that was thrust upon Russia. Russia has been handling this SMO quite easily.

As soon as you tell me why it was okay for Ukraine to kill its own Russian speaking population that simply wanted to be left alone?

We can get to the bottom of this right now. Why was it okay for Kiev to kill its own citizens?

15,000 killed for simply wanting to be left alone is far greater than the two laughable examples you came up with.

Don't forget dropping Russian as an official language as well. If we dropped Spanish in the same manner, you'd stroke out over outrage.

15,000? You mean during the Russian backed Donbass conflict after Crimea? How many troops and how many civilians? Which side were they fighting for?

It could be argued that Chechen rebels just "wanted to be left alone". How many of them and Chechen civilians did russia kill? Estimated civilian deaths are 25,000-50,000. I don't consider that number "laughable". Why are you so callous about Chechen deaths but care so deeply about russian deaths?

Yes, multiple times.

Why was it okay for the Ukrainian government to kill its own Russian speaking citizens? They only asked for autonomy. Didn't ask to separate. Why was that okay? Employed the closest thing to real Nazis to go after them.
