World Bank, officially - Russia is the fifth economy in the world to overtake Germany.

GDP includes government spending. If there is no government spending then it is called GNP - a statistic to which we should return since government isn't productive.

 

I don't see any lies in Bill's post .. and if none are found .. who is then the one peddling a lie. There was a civil war going on in Ukraine since 2014 .. Why are you surprised .. to the point of calling the messenger a liar .. that people died ? ... so you not know what a civil war is ?? Whats the problem here big fella - does the information challenge some fairy tale narrative supplied to you by the Western propaganda machine ?

Thats right Bill .. The Azov Nazi's were targeting persecuting and killing Ethnic Russians - with the help of the Ukraine Gov't. These Nazi's were dehumanizing the Ethnic Russians, called them "Orcs" = less than human ..and worthy of death. Worry not however because Vlad has come to save these folks from these extremist terrorists .. the Special Denazification Operation continues.

 

Good to see the propagandists agreeing with one another.

 

Russia has everything.

 

African countries that have signed military agreements with Russia

 

85-87%

For your understanding - in Russia the cost of payment for all housing and utilities (water, sewerage, gas, electricity, payment for the use of the Internet at a speed of 1 gigabyte per second, payment for general household needs,...in general, all payments including cell phone service) costs less than 100 dollars per month. That's what I'm talking about for a two-bedroom apartment.
How is it in your country?

 

Of course it will. The economic collapse of the U.S. economy and the impoverishment of the population will spark protests against the U.S. government's fomenting of conflicts around the world at the expense of American taxpayers. By the way, this is already happening.

 

It makes no sense to compare the powerful economy of the Russians with the declining American economy of dog groomers and waiters, Facebook and Twitter.

 

So this is why you are flogging propaganda? To hurt America so Vlad can wear platform shoes?

 

In the west, and in Germany in particular, the lunatics have taken over. Agree - only a madman would impose sanctions to the detriment of his economy and only a madman would support Ukrainian fascists.
And you look at the migration policy - can an adequate person make such a policy?

 

We will soon see.
Many did not believe that the Russians would overtake the EU's most powerful economy, Germany, in such a short period of time, despite sanctions and war.
And as I wrote above, you can compare the foreign debt of the Russians with any of these countries.

 

What's the point of your comment?

 

That you are flogging propaganda to hurt America.

 

What propaganda did you agree with FMW ?

 

None of it. I just appreciated that there was some consistency among the players.

 

I agree. It's no contest in the realm if reality:

Per capita income:

Russia - $14k
USA - $45k

GDP:

Russia - $2 trillion
USA - $15 trillion

PPP:

Russia - $17,500
USA - $45,700

GDP per capita:

Russia - $14,000
USA - $50,000


If this were a race, we have lapped Russia 8 times and you think closing 200 feet makes a difference.

 

The central bank earlier said the “elevated demand” for cash was partly due to the additional need for paper money in Russia’s new regions, where all settlements switched to ruble banknotes from January. The Russian ruble has become the official currency of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, as well as the Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions, former Ukrainian territories that voted to join Russia in referendums last year.

So, Russia is printing and injecting money into their economy to cover expansion of illegal annexation of Ukrainian territory through sham elections and then claiming that's "economic growth".

Lol.

 

Russia's 3conomy just isn't doing well and it is lying about the statistics even more than it normally does.

 

What was this lie that you found ? --- you need some more support for this propaganda conspiracy of yours to have merit ..

 

DOI is not the one running around flogging the Progressive Neocon woke propaganda there friend .. flogging the collectivist totalitarian mantra in an effort to hurt America.

Some confusion going on here.

Some of these folks think that "Anti-War" and all the horrible things this War has brought to America .. is "Anti American" somehow being against hurting America .. is "Anti American" It is a strange delusion I know --

 

Yeah the confusion is on Putin apologists shilling as Americans. Does that clear it up for you or are you going to relegate yourself to flailing around while constantly tripping on the B/S posted on behalf of mini pooch heel nippin'?!

Hint? Look very close....all the answers are there.

 

I didn't say a word about a lie so I can't respond to your inventions.

 

?? --- Propaganda --- ?? do you not know what the word means ? --->>> who is the one inventing things .. some kind of Propaganda that does not involve a lie / falsehood/misrepresentation.

What is this "Propaganda" you are referring to -- or is this just some invention .. now trying to project your failing onto others ? What is this Lie/ falsehood/ untruth or were you just inventing your own definition for the word .. clearly having no idea what the actual definition is. ?!

 

A world bank headquartered in Washington is an agent of the Kremlin?
