    One more reason to help the democrats keep Trump out of office being as how he will gut the oil prices again and starve Russia again.
    However Biden is putting in a poison pill by drawing down our preferred crude first to inhibit future gasoline production. The nation will have to divert mid grade oil to refill the reserve.

    What's propaganda and Putin got to do with it. Tell me where and when this great exodus is taking place and where all the Russians have gone. Saves me wasting my time getting the Russian immigration figures for Sweden and Finland and you changing the subject. The 'Refugees are welcome' thing stopped years ago.

    Is that one of the lies Putin tells his people, they are not welcome outside his reach?

    Just looked at the first link, the BBC one and then stopped. You’ve excelled yourself with BBC propaganda on this one.

    Russians have been struggling to find affordable accommodation in all the major cities. Many can be seen wandering around the capital, Tbilisi, with their suitcases and often even their pets.

    These are not a brain drain, they’re the destitute hoping to get into the welfare states of the west. Hardly high-tech industry professionals.

    If there is a brain drain anywhere, they’re not running to a declining west that’s already in a recession. Even with a war going on and massive sanctions, even western sources state:

    “GDP in Russia is expected to reach 1778.02 USD Billion by the end of 2022 …” (tradingeconomics.com).

    Uh-huh, you stopped reading because it doesn't fit your narrative.

    Well no, it's because it's western media. I can find stuff like this myself. You're not telling me what you think, you're telling me what someone else who's paid to write this stuff thinks.

    What I think is irrelevant to the fact Russia is experiencing a massive brain drain.
    And Japan is western media?

    I disagree that Russia is experiencing a massive brain drain. So that's something we'll have to disagree with.
    Yes, Japan is closely aligned to the west, as is Australia, although neither are in the west.

    Why would Russians want to leave à country they have been told is winning à war started by someone else against and aided by the evil superpowers that want to destroy the Prophet Putin, who is defending Russia against Fascism, turncoats and traitors?
    After all the friends of Purin who kept the fairh arecalready sail7ng somewhere on their yachts, in between paying visirscto their megamansions across Britain and the world. One drops into the UK from time to time to supervise the construction of his 1.1 billion pound palace which entends 4 floors beneath the ground.
    You can get à lot of Russian refugees in there if necessary.
    All the Russians who could, grabbed what they could post Berlin Wall and fled. Those who were left behind were the bourgeoisie who think they are well enough off thanks to Papa Putin.

    That doesn't sound accurate at all.

    And Russia is experiencing all of the following,

    Take a look at their automotive, semi conductor, and tech sector for instance. I'll let you provide the source.

    Biden is a sick man. He doesn't think well. But it is very convenient for the ruling class in the US. He is easy to manipulate, and in case of failure, everything can be easily attributed to Biden. And with him it is easy to plunder the budget. For example, through supposedly deliveries to Ukraine. (CBS published a journalistic investigation into the first results of Western support for Ukraine. The authors concluded that the billions of dollars that the United States sends to Ukraine do not reach the recipients. ... And ... as you might expect - CBS was forced to remove this film)

    I wonder how much input John Kerry's new shadow environmental outfit has. It is totally rogue. No names of advisors, etc. Budget is a mystery. But they are known to be hard core multinational leftists.

    study.com. Is that for a school project? It's we in the west that are going to freeze this winter, perhaps with food shortages and a recession. Russia won't be.

    What's made that situation better since only 2021?

    Many Russians are spending almost half their disposable income on just food currently in 2022 after the invasion.
