Well, when the Ukrainian paramilitary increased the shelling of the Donbass on the 16th, in preparation for an assault, it required their fellow Ukrainians to ask Russia for protection from them, which came on the 24th.houndawg wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 8:32 amthe way those clever neocons tricked Putin into mobilizing a quarter million troops and invading Ukraine...SeattleGriz wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 7:54 am

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
Gonna have to war spend their way out off this?
https://www.theguardian.com/business/20 ... tid=Zxz2cZBut the sliding rouble could trigger memories in Moscow of the battering the currency took during the 1998 Russian financial crisis and has already led to rare public criticism of Russia’s central bank.
The influential TV host Vladimir Solovyov said last week: “The bloody central bank isn’t even explaining why the hell the rouble exchange rate has jumped so high that they’re laughing at us abroad, at our rouble being one of the three weakest currencies.
“What is happening in this country!? How did this exchange rate come about? Eventually, this will lead to a rise in consumer prices, and it will coincide with the election campaign,” Solovyov added, referring to the Russian presidential election scheduled for March 2024.
The Kremlin has boasted about Russia’s economic outlook while the central bank has predicted that the economy will grow by up to 2.5% this year, despite crippling western sanctions.
Despite the weakening rouble, Russia’s statistics agency, Rosstat, announced last week that the economy grew year on year by 4.9% in the second quarter of 2023, the first increase in 12 months.
Experts said much of the economic recovery was artificially driven by government spending on the war, raising the prospect of an economic slowdown if the conflict was halted.
