- The International Monetary Fund predicts strong growth for Russia's economy this year, despite sanctions imposed for the invasion of Ukraine.
European nations trail well behind Russia in the IMF forecast. What's behind these figures? Do sanctions ever work?

American have double standards.
Why no sanctions on Israel ?
Protectorates get massive investment not sanctions.
If Israel is sanctioned then will outgrow the WEST!!!!
I was about to ask the same question.
Both Americans and Europeans showed their double standards
Because Isreal is America.
Amerika is controlled by them.
Why else would the amerikan government not care about the good of American people.
Well done Russia for freeing themselves from the clutches of western hegemony. Do teach

Westerners think that they will rule the whole world forever.All countries must obey them.?No, that time has passed forever.
THE LEADERSHIP OF RUSSIA..
IS MADE..OF STATESMEN,
UNLIKE OUR POLITICAL CLASS MINIONS.THEY HAVE THE INTEREST OF THEIR PEOPLE FIRST.
THE WESTERN POWER HAVE BEEN OVER-ESTIMATING THEM SELF FOR A WILE NOW.
GOOD FOR RUSSIA

South Africa 😂 since 2010 gdp didn't go up😂😂😂😂
Russian model can be repeated by a lot of resource rich African nations because Russia is also a net exporter. Except most of them don't have a native industrial base to develop and process the resources they have, and the predatory contracts they have signed with foreign corporations don't include the transfer of technologies necessary to create that industrial base.
It's just colonialism via modified mechanisms
Hopefully BRICS will slowly facilitate deeper integration and transfer of technologies and the development of necessary infrastructure for future industries like nuclear, solar and hydroelectric power plants.
Being in one union of peers makes it actually beneficial for Russia to empower other members instead of just exploiting them as if they are subservient 3rd grade territories. The more powerful other members are, the less skewed towards China BRICS is, and this improves Russian position
Sanctioning small nations like Cuba, Venezuela and DPRK might work in the short term
but doing that to massive countries like Russia, China and Iran just means making them self-reliant.
Yet, you whine about it
@@namastezen3300 Not at all. I'm saying they should sanction large nations more.
Incentivizes them to join BRICS and the BRI; speeds up China's rise and the US's decline. Which is good for humanity in the long run.
@@namastezen3300 Not at all. If anything they should do it to large nations more and make them less supportive of western economies.
Yeah its like Western countries think that the "outlawed" countries wont simply team up and share ways to work around sanctions.
USA still not realizing they are hurting themselves with stealing frozen assets etc.
Countries like Saudi-Arabia already slowly getting out of USD dominance, because you cant trust them.
@@namastezen3300 It's you and your ilk who are whining cause the sanctiong aren't working.
The Norwegian analyst made me laugh about lack of heating and electricity in people's homes and dying Russians. Russia has a central heating system which means that all the apartments where the absolute majority of Russians live are heated whether you pay for it or not. If you don't pay you will just have a debt but the heating will be pumped to your dwelling never the less. If anything Russia is ideal place to spend your winter as it is much much warmer to be in the dwelling there than in UK for example.)
*The Norwegian biased analyst is doing propaganda for the benefit of his pay masters in Washington, so chill out Natalya., Objectivity disappeared in the Western media long time ago, e.g Just look for any western media showing support for the UN court decision against Israel...majority of them are in disbelief with the court decision, but all are united in condemning Mr.Putin taking steps to defend his country and Russians abroad*
Actually he was right. At the time a town near Moscow didn't have any heating and there were protests
@@ASS_aultyeah it was a local emergency, the heating station collapsed because of the very cold weather, it was fixed a few days after. The equipment is old and need repairing, that's true
@@ASS_aultwe've had random heating failures since like forever. It's purely wishful thinking based on isolated incidents kek.
Western sanctions. Say western sanctions, not international sanctions lol 😂
Exactly they always say international sanctions 😅I wonder what is definition of international 😅
@@gabrielradjabu4879 western countries = international sanctions lol
Western sanctions? Q4 2023 was the largest oil imports of Europe from Russia
Western thinks they represent the word 😅
I'm telling you. I always hear G7 call their sanctions International 😂😂😂..
Yet, the Western media tells us completely different narratives.
That's how Propaganda works. News companies are nothing more than population controllers.
sometimes literally the opposite of what the entire world could clearly see
where? Post a link.
Did you even watch this ? These people confirmed that sanctions do work and russia is in for tough times.
The English media.The spanish media is more balance.
US destoyed Nordstream and now they temporarily banned LPG exports to Europe because of shortage. Europeans are now very happy with the highest energy costs.
😂😂😂💯👍🤠👈
😅😅😅😅😅
Я считал европейцев умными людьми , но глядя на всё это готов поменять своё мнение 😂😂
thats the fact
But they are free from cheap resources from Russia now.
The guy from Oslo: "Russia is spending out of pension savings"
Source: Voices in his head
His talking about US.They invested social security funds into the project "Ukraine " and about to loose it all.
Russia is swimming with money now, that is what this guy does not know. Not only russia but also the rich russian citizens were sanctioned so a lot of the billionaire russians brought all their money back to russia and is investing it there because they can't keep them abroad due to the sanctions.
speculation when the west is falling apart
😅
😂😂😂👍🇷🇺
Я не доверяю людям из Осло. На мои горда в 5 цивилизации чаще нападали с севера.
The Norwegian guy is coping hard
yes, the Norwegian guy lost all credibility when he said citizens in provincial Russia are dying from cold and hunger, which is obviously a lie
He is seriously coping. He is watching the collective West get exposed as irrelevant before his eyes.
he still thinks greater world population uses smoke signal to communicate. smart phones use in rusia is high, statista says its higher then in europe!
Norway is cherry picking truth to make it sound gloomy because it is beneficial to Norway.
@@ibrahimtouman2279This is not just a blatant lie, this is funny, comedian! 😂
Not Russia proving to the world that we do not need the west to prosper.
Not Russia proving?
Sanctions are just a way to remove unwanted competition from the chessboard. Big scam😂
Not really, the west is still the second importer from Russia, not much after China. And Russia is still full of western brands.
Its aave - you usually use it sarcastically. It can be read as “Russia is proving that you don’t need the west to prosper”.
Pretty easy to overcome sanctions when you can lower the prices to countries like China and India and export more to them. It doesn't work completely because there's too many greedy countries in the world that just want the lowest price, which Russia can do when they're desperate.
The Oslo guy is the reason as to why sanctions have miserably failed. He is literally doubling down on stupidity expecting a different result
Obviously, dude's job depends on sanctions 😂
Hi is misleading German and EU
He is crazy naive European guy😂
You are very much right, I was here saying the same thing... but people need to know that many out there are paid to spread propaganda
The Oslo guy doesn't even know how to pronounce the word 'Iraq' properly. Shameful.
The guy is in the middle is the definition of a delusional Euro-apparatchik who lives in his own fantasy. Chris and Anatoly absolutely schooled him.
China and India are propping up Russian oil and gas sales, but the revenue is lower than what they used to get from the West. The net result is that Russian oil revenues are 30% lower than in 2021. These are public figures. Also, the guy on the left claiming Russia's budget deficit is "only 2%", left out that Russia's budget deficit is actually 2% OF GDP, which is 2.93 trillion roubles. Russia's actual budget deficit is 10%, and that deficit absolutely has to be filled with reserves.
Those of you who were not in 80s and 90s, Cold war was ended by agreement with US, EU and USSR to have World Peace
1)USSR was divided into countries but none of them would ever join NATO or threaten Russia in future.
2)This was agreed by US, EU, UK and USSR .
Today Ukraine(former USSR state) wanted to join NATO which is against Rule 1 state above. Hence this is unwanted WAR.
Infact US, EU and UK should end this WAR by informing Ukraine not to join NATO. Ukraine can be part of EU economic zone and World Peace can be restored.
Better heading is this "Why does Russia economy grows despite sanctions" Because sanctions backfired on EU countries
Russia is going down
@@Aan_allein We all wish for certain events to happen. That does not mean it is what reality is all about. Russian economy resilience with help from the global south has wrecked the sanctions forever and accelerated the multi polar world. In terms of military Russia has exposed NATO as a Paper Dragon. Their silver bullet weapons have been exposed. Bradley Square and Leopard 2 graveyards. But Russia has the military industrial capacity to out produce NATO combined and China has not even come into the equation
"Get around sanctions"
No they do not these sanctions ARE DOMESTIC LAWS among the sanctioning nations, the other 80% of the world who DO NOT sanction Russia do not violate ANYTHING.
Do I violate Saudi law when I drink in Sweden?? NO These laws are domestic and ONLY HAVE JURISDICTION in those countries.
Then calling them "International Sanctions" makes it seem like more than 20% of the world engage in this.
An other misleading term is "Shadow ships" THE ONLY THING THAT MEANS IS NOT INSURED IN THE WEST.
Is it "A Question" if the sanctions backfire??? REALLY??? LMAO
To MAKE IT CLEAR EU sanctions ARE NOT INTERNATIONAL SANCTIONS neither are EU sanctions etc...
UN SANCTIONS ARE INTERNATIONAL SANCTIONS.
That "The West" CALLS itself "The World Community" DOES NOT MAKE IT SO That is just the hubris talking from former mostly white colonial powers that make up less than 20% of the world
THE REST, THE 80% IS THE WORLD COMMUNITY.
Clueless. The figures include vast wasteful spending on their disasterous war.
@@qinby1182 I agree whole heartly which reminds me of Vonder Crazy saying the Russian economy was in tatters tatters he he he
The speaker from Oslo is lying with confidence😊
I don't see the confidence
The Oslo agent is lying as he struggles to go along spouting bullshit.
Someone explain to them that when your opponent uses NATO weapons, NATO intelligence, NATO instructors train the enemy, NATO officers lead operations - this means that we are at war with NATO. Any other interpretation is pure idiocy.
If the Oslo guy is a sanctions expert, then any fool can be a sanctions expert
he makes a living by making neocons believe that what they are doing is actually working 😂
What else do expect from an Olson "expert" except parroting Western propaganda. Even I can be saction expert if I subscribe to Western propoganda. The Olson puppet also predicts that Russia's economy to be "bleak". Why of all Europeans the Norwegians (at least many of them) are puppets of
The Oslo guy may be a CIA
Thank u Al Jazeera
he is a russian spy.
Russia isn't isolated, Russia has more friends, nato cant defeat Russia
Russia always defeats themselves and collapses inwards
@@beastmode6225 not this time, it's nato countries that are in recession or about to. Russia will be good for a while.
@@jamesdixon2857 😂
nato doesn't want Russia to be defeated. They just want them to act normal and friendly
@@Mostertman lol good joke 👍
The “sanction expert “ guy from Norway makes me laugh. With such experts no wonder why sanctions don’t work. People outside big cities dying like flies from cold, whoa, where did you get that from?!
They said similar things about the collapse of the Chinese economy year after year. Yet I am still here in China. I have electricity, a secure home and more food than can eat. The Western mass media lies.
I love how Chris and Anatoly absolutely demolished every single one of his points. We need more realists like them and less delusional apparatchiks like the "sanctions expert".
@@uckthis8079 The entire European prosperity is built on centuries of subjugation and domination of other nations and peoples, cheating, stealing, killing. A Norwegian with his 10 houses living in lavish opulence is contrasted with people in Sudan or Gaza or Yemen living in squalor, dying from hunger and diseases, fighting for scraps in desperation that is perpetuated by Western technologies.
Our current world order has worse inequality than it had when monarchy was around, this whole idea of humane democracies is just a lie to make the guy with 10 houses feel good abiut himself and provide him with just another service - a service of clean conscience
@@NJ-wb1cz well I can agree with you but only partially. Do you even realise how many diffrent countries the whole West or Europe consistent of?
Now how many countries were actually involved in colonisation?
It feels a bit uncomfortable all the time to read such accusations made towards my country which never has anything to do with colonisation. Especially when my country also struggling with survivable during history while fighting wars with the very same countries that do colonize. Today we are living in peace which profit everyone mufh better than fighting. Yet we dont feel to need all the time complaining how many some country crushed our own and blame them for literally everything whats wrong today or how good and rich we would be if no one ever invaded us
You peapole need to get down on earth
@@uckthis8079 really? Did Norway develop all the technology for oil drilling completely independently? Is it isolated from the Western accumulated wealth of technologies and science and know how?

Yes and water is dry.
So were Stalin and Hitler. Don't you expect more than strength?
The guy from Oslo mentions Iraq as an example of how sanctions can work; he said they probably had too much effect and needed to be toned down. 500.000 dead Iraqi babies - "it was a difficult decision but we think it was worth it" Madeleine Albright.
Exactly, what a monster
Iraq is not Russia and never will be.
Monster will always remain monster ....
The Iraq war accomplished a net of nothing worthwhile.
America doesn't care about dead babies if they are poor people, or if they have dark skin. They only care about teh Golden Billion rich white people.
look at how that guy from oslo is coping, he is almost crying he cannot beieve it that russia failed to receive the memo of its imminent collapse after ''crippling'' sanctions
He is pathetic isn’t he?
@@thetruth6099 definitely yes .he thinks Europe is doing well even after sanctions and bombing gas pipeline
Who's that guy?

I'm Russian from the outback. For breakfast I have steamed sawdust. The temperature in the house is -10°C. Man from Oslo, please save me!

I’m also Russian for breakfast, I had Soviet boots, I’m surprised how a man from Oslo hit the target so accurately
At least you have breakfast in St. Petersburg and this is not the case, and in general everyone has gone to the countryside to have breakfast, and after breakfast everyone will be sent to their place for washing machines to repair the subway. But the worst thing is that those who remained were enslaved by the Chinese and forcibly take electricity straight from the wires and take buckets to China. And at night, Putin comes to pick up the children.. Please save us....

I am not sure in which universe the guy from Oslo is living in😀.

The guest from Norway was coping so hard😂
Frankly this Norwegian guest is intellectually biased to the point of wanting to refute the reality of the facts under the wacky pretext that his obscure studies of which no one apart from him and all those who hate Russians may have access, would show that the Russian economy will not would wear as well.😄
He’s a total loser, a hater 😂😂.he’s enemy of Russia progress.
Not importing luxury goods from the West is not going to hurt the Russian economy. It may well help it.
it's so funny to see how western is banning the import of diamonds to Russia, a country which is the biggest supplier of diamonds.
Russia cant build cars anyone would like to own. In fact, russia cant make anything anyone want to pay anything for. The only thing any country bye from Russia is gas, oil and som other things. Now no country like to pay for anything from Russia so its gona make its mark on the russian economy. Russia will go back to the Stones age. Horses and wagons, if the people can afford that.
Russia can get same luxury goods from other countries
It does hurt the Western suppliers of those luxury goods, however.
You can still get everything in Russia, especially luxury goods!
The guy from Oslo has no idea just a western bot
В России все хорошо , развиваемся дальше и успешнее . Плевать нам россиянам на санкции 😊. Всем добрым людям в мире всех благ и процветания ! Приезжайте в Россию сами все увидите , у нас туризм развит , десятки миллионов людей приезжают из всех стран и счастливы 🌹🌍 .

Yes I agree he is a typical Western narcissistic psychopath
Mate both the guys on the left on the right are Russian apologists. The guy on the left literally admits to going to Russia frequently. No one in the West is under the illusion that the sanctions are doing something they are not. China and India are propping up Russian oil and gas sales, but the revenue is lower than what they used to get from the West. The net result is that Russian oil revenues are 30% lower than in 2021.

Russia's actual budget deficit is 10%, and that deficit absolutely has to be filled with reserves.
The guy on the left literally admits to going to Russia frequently' this means the guy on the left has first hand knowledge about the state of Russia and the wishful thinking idiot aka ExPeRt from Norway is straight lying about Russian outskirt of Moscow dying from cold. Revenues fluctuate based on oil prices and since they have to divert the market away from Europe, Revenues obviously experience slight downturn and they will stabilize in few years. China and India are already the biggest consumer of Russian energy, more countries will join. Moreover, Russia and China complement each other in their necessities for resources.Have you seen the economic growth rate of European countries, Russia is leading in terms of growth rate. Meanwhile European countries mainly Germany are experiencing plummeting growth rate and are paying heavy price for energy. Europe can't sustain with this state in long run. Now tell me who is the big loser here, Russia or US's lapdog, Europe?
@user-he9ur1er9h didn't they say two years ago Russia was done? Lol, are you really going to continue with the nonsense in two more years when nothing of what you say happen? How many years are needed to penetrate that hard shell of head people like you have... don't forget that opposite as what the guy of oslo says Russia is backed by two superpower in the rise like india and chin so they won't go bankrupt, so if after two years you continue with the same nonsense I don't know what it takes for people like you to change their mind.
Because the economies of China and Russia are highly complementary, China needs Russian energy and food, and Russia needs Chinese goods.
Food for chinese? I live in Russia and our food industry so weak, we import eggs from Turkey. No industrial resources for chinese.

He also said that Russians are freezing to death.
I'm sitting here thinking, why TF would you dip into pensions when the government made tens of BILLIONS from energy sales since the SMO began? 🤔
That's a fact
@@reallifehack4790 Russian budget deficit is below 1%. It has the strongest balance sheet in the G20 and OECD in debt-to-GDP terms. It has always lived within its means and invested the money it made into growth without taking on debt. This has stunted growth, but it has also made it resilient as it is now demonstrating. Their state pension fund is actually growing as of the last available reporting period. And they've done this without access to the 350 billion in their sovereign wealth (so-called "Stabilisation fund") fund that the West has frozen (de facto stolen) and is preparing to steal de jure. In other words, they don't even have access to all the money they've saved up for a crisis and they're still managing to come out on top.
Aren't about $500B of Russian funds that they had in the West frozen? I think Russia will never see that money again, it should go for rebuilding of Ukraine and paying compensation to their citizens.
What sanction! US is buying 12% of its uranium needs from Russia in 2022. 😂

Yes, but the stagnancy is only temporary, because Europe is changing course strongly. Who in 2022 had to realise they where too dependent on Russian gas? Europe.
Europe has paid a price by having lower growth rate for these 2 years, but it will make great changes that will make Europe stronger in the end. For those uneducated people here who thing otherwise. you are too dumb to comprehend this. Bet on in that Europe in 10-20 years will be vastly more powerful and richer than it even is today. And by then entirely dependent on it's own energy resources. The change to green energy and in 20 or so years fusion energy. Russia's biggest exports are gas etc. But here will be a time that this will decline, because Europe and even china in 20-30 years are green or close to fully green

Lets see. My uneducated simpleton when in 2050 Europe is transitioned to green energy and 2060 China, then lets talk again. Russia in the end is done. Also Russia's demographics are bad. I know people like you can't count and only speaking your mind without a single fact, but count with me. In 1991 the Soviet Union fell. What happened after that? very low birthrates in the 90s. Who is now in maturity age today in 2020? Those babies born in 1990s. Russia's demographics are bad and are going to decline in the future. Russia's prospects will only be become worse in the future. Bet on it.
Russiaonly have a national debt of 15.4% of GDP, while most western nations have debts exceeding 70% - 166.5% of GDP (with the exception of Luxembourg/Denmark/Norway at 28.2%, 30% and 36.6 % of GDP).
The actual EU has an average debt of 83.1 % of GDP.
But according to the "sanctions expert" in the middle, Russia's growth is fake while Western growth is real, even though at this point it's just a debt-based scam.
Problem is, when you're a powerful nation, your debt becomes the problem of the people who loaned you money.
If, say, US balances the budget one day, it can then simply default on its foreign debt and set its debt to zero to save its own economy. What are others going to do? US doesn't abide by any international law. They will simply get destroyed economically while US will do just fine

Hello @arianBeliever
You hit the nail on the head!!!!!!!
Cheers from Canada
So true indeed
Europe is focused on strengthening and enriching Ukraine, migrants and meddling in Eastern Slav disputes rather than their own people and economy.
The truth comes Out ! Thanks Al Jazeera.-
Sanctions are causing resurgence in local manufacturing and agricultural growth. Although they have limited Russia's ability to do international trade but it has bolstered its ability to be self supporting and resilient.
EU cannot even do anything about their products appearing in Russia like everywhere else
Not to mention that the many thousands of sanctions, the CIA bunkers in Ukraine and the shelling of Donetsk and Belgorod only increased the motivation of Russian people to work and fight.
International trade has just shifted to countries like India and China and others. Oil which was sent via the pipeline to Europe is now sent to India and after refining is sent to Europe with a 13% markup. Why do you think German industry is going into cardiac arrest?
The guy from Oslo disgraced himself. What a fool. He will have to live with this shame from now on. I feel pity for his colleagues and his relatives. 😅

Russia is doing not "just" well. It is doing very well. Sanctions and decoupling from the West have become a real blessing for all Russian industries. One example. The national aircraft manufacturing is picking up real fast, completely replacing Boeing and Airbus on domestic routes by 2032.

The German economy was doing quite well with supply of cheap Russian energy !. Why they cut themselves off from that to appease the Americans is mind boggling 🤔

Cuz they got TRAITORS running their country! Down with Olaf Scholz and all the other pro-Washington compradors!
Our politicians are steered by the US democrats. The leftists in power are very long term constructed figures, doing their foreseen jobs by US agancies and ppl. behind think tanks. Covid already brought it to daylight as well. US energy, tech, financial, pharma, chemistry and defense industry interests are brought together with geo-strategic goals of the USA elites. It goes veeerrry deep.
The Norwegian guy reminds me-It Is Difficult to Get a Man to Understand Something When His Salary Depends Upon His Not Understanding It
Your guest from oslo is very funny. Say hi to him. Yes, sanction is working.😅
100% working, but in Russia’s favour.
Let them believe their own fantasies
Russia is the world's largest country with so many resources that the world needs on top of that they have economic Union with countries on its borders so the goods that go to those countries end up in Russia,
This guy said they have good have made in China on them is he kidding? everything is made in China.
He simply means they can just replaced whatever they got from Germany, from China. Not that Russia makes nothing
@@kimtau87 Are you sure Russia makes nothing? is Faberge from Russia?
Plot twits: It's growing even larger, Lol.
@@kimtau87Thing is, all western products are still in Russia by large amounts. Just check their e-commerce companies websites.
As a Russian guy listening to guys from Ostlo and Washington, I have a question:
Are they talking about the same country I live in?
The Oslo guy is something special! 😅 almost every point that he makes is so doubtful.
* The import in Russia decreased dramatically - yes, truth, but not a problem at all- we now buy things that are not imported but produced in Russia.
-excluding from swift system makes it difficult to import (not a problem really) and export (there are a lot of partners willing to buy oil and gas using our payment system (yes, we have our own in Russia)) and there are really grand projects about international payment system which is developing for BRICS+ right now.
-the inflation rate is high - yes, truth, but almost all European countries have it now, so it is the worldwide trend, not only in Russia.
And serious people expected this. The increased purchase of locally made commodities would be a big boost to investments and would lead to an expansion of domestic production.
But the EU can not admit their mistakes because being good friends (or servants..) of the US and hating Russia and Russians is more important than taking care of their own economies and citizens. What a great time to be from the EU 🤦♂️
This is what I thought.. Necessity is the mother of all invention so sanction will only force you hand to be independent which in the long term will work for you just like how ban of semi conductors for China made them to start to make their even if they haven't yet perfected which they will eventually do
The report doesn't mention that Russia has been sanctioned since 2014 after Russia took Crimea .... It's just sanctions went further by Western countries stopped buying Russian oil/gas directly from Russia, but buying it through India and China 😵💫😱
2004
India and China and Saudi be like: EXCELLENT! 🤣🤣🤣
that Oslo guys such shame, rejecting every fact spitted in his face
….he is paid to say that…. Otherways, Propaganda!!!
it must also be mentioned that a significant part of the oil that India purchased from russia was sold to europe
EU: We are too important to stay true to our own sanctions, it was more about the gesture after all.
Sanctions imposed by USA and its vassals do not weaken but rather strengthen the economies of the sanctioned countries. This is true, not only in the case of Russia which has become militarily, economically and politically stronger as a result of the sanctions imposed on it by USA and its vassals but it is also true in the case of Iran and DPRK where these two countries have developed missiles, drones and space technologies that may be superior to even those of USA while their economies have become stronger.
China is the factor
Some countries can handle it better than others! Not all countries are blessed like that...
Difference is Russia didn't ban anything so all western products come into it
Better ask, why IMF lied about the Russian forecast crash.
The Norwegian guy has now resorted to hope strategy
He is consuming copious amounts of cope-cola, I presume.
Good job, Russia. Africa should take note! It’s time to stop this western arrogance!
Haha love to hear about the economy of Russia increased despite the sanctions 😂😂😂...
Guest from Astana was the most insightful & only differed as to why Russia was/is having economic growth with the Dude in DC. But the Oslo “guest” was out of his mind with Russiaphobia 🤣🤣🤷🏾♂️
He is probably Von der Leyen's advisor 😂
@@MusehanaH 🤣🤣
The Oyten-Oyten has invested himself in the ideological war and that blinds him.
They dont show this on CNN
Anatol Lieven is right. Russia is dependent on China and India. Western states and corporations too. No amount of western sanctions will take any effect on Russia until the western economies stop their addiction to oil and outsourcing.
And that would be as likely as Navalny becoming Russian President! 🤣🤣🤣
And no mention of Russia debt ratio playing a huge role...they don't owe a lot of people now...they can now afford to spend on infrastructure etc...imagine replacing all the McDonald shops and western clothing shops etc...the deal they getting from the Chinese investment ...the new market they created with friendly neighbours and African states(South Africa just announced a huge gas deal with Russia...today the gazetted a 2500 nuclear power plant(the tender will be won by Russia...)
it is good that the Russian economy is doing ok

@@JG-MVsuffering from your envy British tomato head
Because just China enough is a big enough market.
Russia produces everyhting it needs for its population. For that reason, the Anglo-American-and-European Union sanctions have no affect -- no matter what the Oslo guy thinks. The NATO countries should have known that and they shouldn't have tried to expand NATO, an antiquated force that shoud have been disbanded in 1991 when Russia embraced democratic institutions....
Russia is not funding its MIC by savings because it doesn't have any debt, unlike the entire West. All investments that may have gone abroad by Oligarchs are now being invested within Russia itself which leads to great growth in real estate and business. Russia is in BRICS, which has now taken over from the G7 as the largest bloc of economies. Russia will also get enormous weapons contracts for their MIC from abroad, as it is,100% tried and tested for new warfare. During the last 2yrs it has vastly broadened its global partners, and influence.
As for the IMF... I think most countries will begin borrowing from SCO in the future, which will severely weaken the USA's control of global economies! Not only Russia will be able to avoid sanctions... but so will Iran, Belarus, Venezuela, Cuba, and the DRK. Most importantly Russian dominance in the Arctic... and the emergence of the northeast passage trading route which will cut the trading time between Europe and Africa by almost 50% together with the ongoing success of the China Belt and Road initiative. I believe Russia has plans to build an Arctic Silk Road too. Russia will have more powerful allies economically and diplomatically. The nihilistic maniacs from Washington, the EU & NATO will, and are already preparing for a conflict with Russia in the Arctic. They already immediately made an agreement to open 15... yes 15 bases in Finland across Russia's longest border the moment they joined NATO last year! They have also brought 200yrs (neutral?) Sweden into their plans. In the EU they are already calling for war against Rus in the next 5-10yrs. Here in Britain, they're publicly talking about bringing back conscription!
NATO cannot beat Russia though.... But a lot of rich WEF globalist elites will get richer and, people in the west will be under a dictatorship!
I think is time BRICS to form military alliance to fend off Western aggression, otherwise the West might do something stupid against Russia or China and that would be the end for all of us
lol Russian weapons are jokes . Just like their kinsal missile which said it was unstoppable I don’t think so .
@@Gabe-bz9nk Whatever you say NATO Shill! They are still effective enough that Ukraine will still lose and NATO will NEVER have a base in Crimea! Their plans on that front will end up the way NAZIny's Presidential ambitions did... DEAD IN THE WATER! 🤣🤡
The individual at the center probably wasn't pleased,😂😂 given that his views often face robust contrasting viewpoints from the other two
Oh no, but he is an expert in sanctions. Go figure.
The analyst is correct. The Euro sanctions are working quite well. Inflation, stagnation, and unemployment are way up in Europe. So yes, so far, Europe is doing a bang job on sanctions. Putin must be smiling.
И всё русские тоже😂

We are really pleased that Russia's economy is doing well and we hope it will continue , Russia has many friends around the world Mr putin is a good leader
an irishman supporting the murderous russian emperor shame on you are you mick wallace the vast majority of irish people hate imperial russian criminal state
the Ukraine wars started in 2014th, since than, sanctions helps Russia to control the export of values and to keep local industry protected by foreign import...

God bless Russia 🇷🇺🙏🏽
As a foreigner who has been living in Russia for the past 14 y. I can assure that the Oslo guy doesn't have any clue what he is talking about.
Sensitive topic for trolls. We have about "500 people" here referring to "the guy from Oslo" and "the Oslo guy". So organic 🤣
Mr Putin is a very wise man, I hope his people appreciate him, Russia 🇷🇺 will never have a president like him.
There have been so few competent Russian leaders. Mr Putin is a great change.
what people haven't realised is that USA is falling as all empires has been. USA is now depending on the arms sales to the NATO members to survive.
Most NATO countries will move out from NATO because they will not see any benefits but to just forced by USA to buy arms .😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good. Sick of their hypocrisy. I hope BRICS can lead new economic order.
Which "International" sanctions or are we talking about sanctions of US and its muppets
incredible liars - tehre is construction everywhere in Russia, of houses and factories, and the growth in purchasing power cannot be explained by defense spending...
Russia has more resources than anyone in this world.They only lack in some technological breakthrough.After that who needs West.Europe did a great blunder by obeying the orders from their Anglo Saxon masters geopolitical games.Go ahead my Russian brothers, lots of love from India 💖💖💖
The Norwegian economic hustler must be taking about the US economic growth and the MIC benefit for their shareholders and their minions. Europe is dying slowly and with the farmers revolt, Russia is rich in commodities and waiting to dig it out of the ground, they can go into debts and pay it anytime. The EU has nothing but only finished product that no one wants

Russian economy is 5th in the world in real terms. So, 2022 real economy PPP in trillions USD comparisson is: China 30, USA 25, India 11.8, Japan 6.7, Russia 5.326, Germany 5.309. And this is 2022 and it is not accounting for full "numbers fakonomy" of the Dollar and Euro inflated numbers. In term of industrial and agricultural production US is only 1/3 of China and Russia is also 1/3 of US. World has changed and that is why sanctions are failing. You can lie to some people some time, but you better not ignore reality or reality will do it's thing.
Biden said he's going sanctions Russian economy back to the stone age, Biden and the West got smacked in the faces with IMF predictions 😂
And to think the IMF is a vehicle of the so-called "Washington Consensus"! 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much for the very good Analysis, hello from Greece ‼️
“Sanctions can work very much for example in Iraq” - “Sanctions expert”
I just read today that China is making a move in de-dollarization and international cross-border payment via this new UAE CBDC (digital Dirham) through the "mBridge" platform which is outside of the dollar and Euro. So Russia will certainly try to be going down the same path
And soon the World will be free of amerikan Wars!!!!!!!!!!
These are coordinated moves. China and Russia knows what the other is doing in their absence. It a mutual plan
That old news. That plan has been known for decade now.
@@randomtraveller8116 yes it is, but now it's been a long plan coming, but just now bearing fruit, pushed and egged on by the West, and the global south witnessing the West's duplicity and hence diversifying into new cooperative blocs like BRICS and forming new relationship between the "global south"
its pretty inevitable really considering the US's willingness to weaponize the Swift Payment system, you'd be mad to leave your self so open to attack in this way when there is enough trade between other nations to create an entire parallel system.
The commentator from Oslo generally lives in some kind of alternate reality.
Wording :US and western sanctions had actually derailed the west and israel with majority of countries had taken up arms to fight them back
Long live Russia, even when Russian funds and assets have been stolen, they are still outperforming and growing. This is more than impressive. As they say, numbers dont lie 😊
During WW2 German economy was growing rapidly up until 1944, even though the country was in ruins by then. Numbers may not lie, but the context matters. They literally said it in the report under which you comment, that all Russian growth comes from increased military production and higher wages because of higher military salaries and workforce shortage. Russian government is burning through its peacetime savings to fuel growth, but fruits of that growth are destroyed at the front, instead of going to the Russian people.
@@flopoz2575 Nah. Russian people are doing fine. Vladimir Putin has higher approval ratings than any current European leaders.
