Despite idiotic western propaganda, Russia is economically fine

>the biggest country on earth with uninterrupted trade with the biggest manufacturer on earth (china) is totally resilient to western trade sanctions
Who would've thought.

It's not genius insofar as it's learning from history and applying the lessons learned. In the 70s, after the fall of Saigon, the US was on the ropes militarily, economically, and socially. If the USSR had made a push into Europe, the US would likely have collapsed. Putin noticed that we were speedrunning the 70s, and this time, made that push. Now the question is (as I'm sure it was back in the 70s), will the US go full retard and start lobbing nukes everywhere as it shits itself to death?

It's almost as if the worst thing about Russia's economy was their habit of sending money oversees to foreign service providers. Now that those foreigners have rejected their business, it's mostly recirculating into the domestic economy. Their main challenge is ramping up fast enough to capture it all.

Unironically going to start looking at jobs with antagonistic countries like China, Russian or Iran. I’m getting desperate.

Iran is unfortunately impossible for Americans for now, otherwise it would be a very attractive option. Focus on where you have cultural affinity - that is what will matter the most as an immigrant.

>almost the entirety of russias supply chain end to end can be rendered domestically
is that why they are seething about that german built siemens gas turbine that was being refurbished in canada?

It's simple. The elites got a life-giving kick in the butt to do something. But it would end sadly - the pipe would simply turn eastward.
Structural changes are not much in sight yet, although something is being done there.

lmao, you think they were seething?

Your leaders saw this coming years ago. They took the last 8 years to get the economy ready for the transition.

>Putin noticed that we were speedrunning the 70s, and this time, made that push.
no, NATO was pushing into his western border
he made a push because of the existential crisis we were creating.

>change -60% into +60% in the report
>wowza how do you like them apples rotten west
it is so tiresome.

>ruble is worth more
let foreign investors out of russian markets. then we will see true value of rubble

you are seething. they aren't seething.

nice way to dodge the question sergei

You are an incompetent and ignorant twat, so let me explain something you still won't understand:

Why did Siemens have the deal to make and service the turbines? Was it because Russia can't make turbine? Of course not, Russia makes high quality engines and rockets, turbines are very much within their industrial capability. The reason is because the Germans made that a stipulation of the contract. This is normal, and acceptable to Russia. Germany cut out a piece of the big gas pipeline contract for their domestic supplier. Russia is not trying to enter that vertical so it's no big deal to them.

Once the contract was broken, Russia no longer needed Siemens services. The circumstance was a nice opportunity for them to exploit the sanctions and make a point to Germany about being a bad business partner.

>Your leaders saw this coming years ago.
Doubt. They're as fucked up as you are. They're all driven by the same goal: profit.

>turbines are very much within their industrial capability
russia doesn't make turbines, but nice try
how about most of the silicon in their wunderwaffen rockets are western made like xilinx etc?
or how about mulino? their best in class training ground being designed and constructed by rheinmetall, they can't even build their own training grounds they use to train for ukrainian invasion themselves?

lol
it thinks people don't want to invest in Russia.

Ironically I just bought a recurring subscription to Kaspersky.

I was disappointed with Malwarebytes - they work with microsoft to send windows data to their servers.

It's easy to demonstrate. Look at the resources put into food industries and aerospace. It was only after the new PD engines were ready that Putin made the move. They spent the last eight years preparing key sectors for the inevitable sanctions that would arise after a military operation to deal with the Ukraine problem. As soon as they felt their economy was robust enough to survive that, they were free to do the necessary military action.

I'm glad you can see such processes "from the outside. I live here and so far I see that nothing has changed radically. Maybe that's why it's hard for me to assess the changes.
But in general, knowing who is in the elites, I am skeptical that the state will "turn its face" to society and its problems. There are the usual "hucksters, bargainers" and other people for whom capital is more important than people and, most importantly, the future of this country.

>shill
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means
