Will the russian Economy Collapse?
➡️ Check out my latest video discussing the russian economy and the likelihood of its collapse. russia has been skilled at creating the illusion of economic health by concealing key statistics and selectively releasing data, all while ramping up public spending. The truth is, russia's economy is in poor shape, and the ongoing war in Ukraine is incredibly unsustainable. However, it can sustain its current operations for a while longer. To hasten the resolution of this conflict, we cannot afford to remain passive. We must implement tougher sanctions on russia's economy and increase military support for Ukraine, forcing russia to raise its expenditures and making the war even more unmanageable for them.

The Only Way To End The War In Ukraine
Переглядів 1,8 тис.День тому
➡️ Check out my new video on the only way to end the war in Ukraine. There has been considerable discussion about the need to end the war since it began, yet very few realistic solutions have emerged. It's crucial to remember, as Anders Puck Nielsen pointed out in his latest video (ua-cam.com/video/lNZ56C-f4a8/v-deo.htmlsi=vkkNUK7sG8WIF-PW), that neither side is currently prepared to make signi...

    Another important thing driving inflation, that doesn't get mentioned enough, is the mortgage subsidy program the kremlin had instituted in 2020, which lasted for four years, ending July 2024. It fixed mortgage rates at 8% incentivising construction and purchasing of homes. This caused a housing bubble and it hampered the intended effects of the raising of the central bank's interest rate, as it didn't affect mortgages. Very good video, short, informative and to the point, like your threads on BlueSky,. Thank you, much appreciated.

    Russia’s economy is overheating also because of the _insanely high_ military signing bonuses and KIA payouts to families. All across Russia, poor communities are suddenly awash with more cash than many of them would make in a lifetime - and this further depresses labor participation in the job market while simultaneously raising prices…as small-town Russians go on unprecedented spending sprees with their newfound MoD payouts. As to further weakening the Russian economy: world leaders need to close the skies over Russia for civilian & commercial flights. Passenger planes have repeatedly been shot down by their air defense, and their aging fleet of civilian aircraft are not being maintained with parts & repairs under sanctions, leading to risky passenger air travel and increasing accidents for those flying to & from the country. Closing their airspace to passengers & cargo would also have knock-on economic effects.

    It’s not the ads you need worry about it’s the weaponized and targeted content. Influence campaigns using often conflicting and always outrageous messaging designed to influence people’s behavior. This is the pursuit of raw power without any ideology. We absolutely must regulate this industry. I think an important aspect of the regulation should be making all the organize anonymized data sets about the public, public property and available to researchers and entrepreneurs for the public good. Business records are public and we have made a lot of progress by studying them. So I think there is precedent. I believe the algorithms are IP(intellectual property). These properties should be held in trust, recorded and stored similarly to patents. Thanks to the great people and institutions of EUROPE 🙏 🇪🇺, for the usb c standard! That improved my situation meaningfully and all you do to defend individual rights and consumers rights , thanks more power to you.

    This finally came: Trump to Saudi-Arabia, increase oil production so that the oil price drops. He did this in his 1st term. A phone call. And they complied. putler visited the Saud-Arabia during the war. But no purpose was reported. I bet he dealt with the prince and said they should keep the production low and oil price high and perhaps personal visit was to advice on disinformation how to to justify the matter like this: it was recently reported that the Saudi oil production industry is unable to increase production [for technical, material, etc. reasons]. Well let's see. And now Trump put his old card on the table. If Bidé had realized or taken care of it, time would not have been wasted.

    Overheating is often a precursor to recession, which is a growing threat in Russia, especially when institutions designed to mitigate shocks are either dysfunctional or being obliterated by the demands of war. This process speeds up when there's a major global recession or a slowdown of the Chinese economy, which would hit Russia hard because of its heavy dependence on revenue from oil and gas. As the Russian economy has become more focused on the war, Russians have also become unsustainably reliant on war-related payments. The government refuses to curtail subsidized mortgages because of a powerful lobby of property developers. These subsidized loans are paid for by all income categories, meaning that working-class taxpayers are subsidizing middle-class mortgages. More than 60 percent of loans are issued to people who will spend more than half their income repaying them. Increasingly, the loan programs are being accessed by recipients of war-related payments. If the war ended, it would become extremely difficult for them to service their loans, especially in the face of rising prices.

      Same as the Soviet-Afghan war, that war crippled many Russian soldiers (called Afgantsy) who then had to be sent home. By the mid-1980s, there were already about a million Afgantsy in the Soviet Union and they had emerged ‘as a new social force in their own right’. The Afgantsy felt betrayed. Many of them organized into vigilante groups determined to fight the money grubbers and ‘scroungers’ who had sent them to war and were ignoring their existence. By the late 1980s, some Afgantsy had begun organizing themselves politically. The Afghanistan war created conditions for the demilitarization of Soviet society. Something similar could happen again, a division between the army and the Putin regime and between the army and the citizens, which then undermines the legitimacy of the army as a moral institution that is supposed to safeguard the oppressed.
