>Russia's economy is imploding. We forecast a GDP collapse of -30% by end-2022. Russia has stopped publishing data, but our tracking of exports from 20 countries to Russia give a clue. Those exports are down over -50% in April 2022 from a year ago (blue). >-Robin Brooks, Chief Economist of the Institute of International Finance Just as everyone predicted with the strong Ruble, Russian imports have completely collapsed. The only thing being traded with the country still is their energy. Vital tools, machines, electronics and vehicles are no longer reaching the country. Airplanes, all Boeing and Airbus, are no longer maintainable by Russian carriers.
This will end like Venezuela. Lots of energy, but with no one to sell you things or service your stuff.
It will be fun to watch Moscow and Petersburg delapidate, but rest of Russia was already stuck in the 1920s, so no computers or modern medicine won't bother them

Was it worth it jurji? Mass suffering for the people. Lack of necessities. Jobs that are not coming back. Econony in the shitter for decades. Billions spent to rebuild military equipment.
And for what? A freaking banana for putin which you wont be able to hold anyway and will spend more billions while bleeding out troops.

Russia is also unable to access new oil/gas reserves on their own as it's Western (largely German) engineering is what's been drilling all of the more recent holes there and Russia itself doesn't have the tech necessary. So in few years you can remove the "lots of energy" from the list as well as the currently used reserves run out and/or existing Western machinery breaks down .

Entire global economy is imploding.

What's so weird for economy to get hurt in such situation? It's obvious. But considering situation, we are doing fine i think. Other countries would be already flopped. We are going to take that banana and there's nothing west can do about it.

Russia is the major wheat producer of the world and Ukraine the second. With the land captured so far Russia probably has 20% of global production giving it inmense leverage over mineral rich countries in Africa. That just on top of my mind, why are poleshits so stupid?

Anyone who wasn't expecting a short term hit on exports, is a shoe size IQ retard. Anyone who expects that this is unrecoverable state of affairs for decades to come, is a shoe size IQ retard.
>mr putin, we now have 3% more of world wheat production. And it only cost us decades of economical growth and bilions in irreplaceable equipment as we cant buy the components.
>excellent. now we will have africa do our biddings!
>mr putin you truly are the master strategist. Have a banana.
