I wonder what Putin thinks about being around growing powers like China and India, while he has past glories of empire. Quote

Both countries are very dependable on Russian resources, so he has no point to worry. When Biden stated to insist that India has to cancel cooperation with Russia because of "sanctions", he got Indian polite, but firm "Fuck you". Quote

For example Russian "RosAtom" (Russian Atom) controls 90% of construction of nuclear power plants in world. Do not trust to urban legends, distributed by western propaganda, in fact share of oil and gas export in Russian GDP is only 16.5% now, while at past it was sometimes 50+% Quote

Yes, oil and gas sales have plummeted as you point out. And the revenue still represents 30% of the annual national budget. Money that is funding the invasion of a sovereign neighboring state - Ukraine. As far as Putin spreading the nuclear threat to ever new countries (Turkey) Putin should be careful what he wishes for. He's a sad figure. He can only murder domestic threats for so long before someone gets to him. We now return you to the original posters subject of comparing weak pussy Trump to warmonger W. Quote

The 12th (you say) largest GDP, with a massive budget deficit - it's even larger than the one the Incompetent-in-Chief has saddled America with. Hence the benchmark interest rate hovering around 18%. Sorry, that was third number. Quote
Moses Posted yesterday at 05:54 AM Posted yesterday at 05:54 AM 7 hours ago, RockyRoadTravel said: with a massive budget deficit Are you again about urban legends? Russia every year plans deficit of budget. It is how it works in Russia: all profit from above of designated in budget price (cap price, this year $60) from oil and gas rent Russia within year collects to National Fund of reserves. It isn't part of any state ministry or agency. At the end of the year National Fund of reserves covers difference btw state income and state spends in case of deficit. That means, what here is not like in US - deficit do NOT increases state debt because when it appears it is covered by oil and gas money. That why Russia has state debt just around 20% of GDP and it going down year by year even under sanctions. 2020 22.99 % 2021 20.87 % 2022 19.29 % 2023 18.50 % Numbers above include internal debt. Below are numbers of international debt in% of GDP: 2019 3,3% 2020 3,3% 2021 3,1% 2022 3,0% 2023 2,8% Currently National reserve fund is 6% of GDP. Currently Russian gold reserve is 9% of GDP. In total Russian reserves now are 15% of GDP. Quote

From June 2024 to June 2025 I got almost +40% to my capital. And with income taxation only 6% + 1% to medical and pension fund it is heaven. RockyRoadTravel 1 Quote
Moses Posted yesterday at 07:18 AM Posted yesterday at 07:18 AM EU citizens are victims of EU bureaucracy (hello, mad grandma Ursula): (Chat GPT) Plus additionally EU paid for overpriced gas from alternative sources about $250 billions. And I lost count how much in total EU paid to Ukraine for to support Nazi regime there. And all these numbers are the price of Ukrainian withdrawal from peace talk in Istanbul at the spring 2022 (Hello Boris Johnson, hello grandad Joe Alzheimer). Quote

A five fold increase in the budget deficit this year: https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/06/10/russias-budget-deficit-up-fivefold-over-2024-finance-ministry-a89405 Putin is even seems to be even worse than the Incompetent-in-Chief when it comes to economics. Question remains why does America's national embarrassment continue to bend the knee to this second tier power. Quote

MOSES is a perfect example of "political Brainwashing", eventhough he is NOT aware of it. Being raised in the Dictatorship of Russia, one cannot help but absorb its political rhetoric, just how the MAGAts do it here in America. Their brains are conditioned to hear only ONE thing, and then process it the way THEY ARE TOLD TO. Lets just say Moses is a "product of his enviornment"....
