The only thing I actually LIKE about Putin is how he makes a fool of Trump and humiliates him to his face.

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

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".

Yup, a colony supplying resources.

Well. When I spoke resources, I meant global Russian export. 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+%

 

47 has assembled a loyal cabinet, some say it's a cabinet the likes of which the world has never seen.

Dumb, incompetent, RICH, and YES certainly LOYAL.....  The trick to being a Trump SICKOfant is to STAY Loyal, because the moment that you "slip up",  he will turn on you and you will find yourself the subject of a DOJ investigation. 

It appears donOLD is going to get his yuuuge celebration. All of the US will celebrate as well as the entire world. Unfortunately, donOLD will not be alive to see it, but he will be there in spirit...a ghostly spirit.

Look at that, you can do a Google search and misrepresent the information.    

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.

of the annual national budget

When you talk about such topics, you must be able to distinguish between two completely different concepts: the national budget and GDP. Without this, such discussions are meaningless, because the power of a country depends on GDP, not on the national budget. For example in 3rd world economy by purchasing power - India - state budget is less than 6% of GDP PPP...

Yes, you have to be able to walk and chew gum.  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.

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.

Yeah Golden time for initiative people. 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.

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).

You do pick and choose information that doesn't demonstrate the failing Russian economy.  And you do whatever it is you need to do to live in your delusion. 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.

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"....   I'm being KIND here !  😏

Anything that will come out of the Kermlin, will be akin to the partisan garbage and policy defense that comes out of the mouth of Karoline Leavitt.   Rule of Thumb, NEVER say anything Negative about the Dictator or his Agenda !

I think that Trump will be in the most trouble after primary season is over next year, and the sword of Damocles won't be hanging over the heads of his minions.
