- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is not going to last. Russian economy is about to flip the fuck out though China got their cut already.
Will be interesting how China's opinions change once dirty money dries up but my guess is that they'll forever pretend to be fence sitters as long as Han China is doing well.
One interesting note on how down China was with new Russian market is that they started to print Russian text on national brand products like Huawei last year and I just a new pair of huawei ear phones that no longer have it. It's probably just a coincidence but it's kinda funny nevertheless.
"Russian economy is about to flip the fuck out"
Just curious, what's your sourcing on that? I ask because this has been said since the sanctions were put in place but they've managed to limb along.
It is strange, also according to the IMF forecasts GDP growth this and next year.
It's looking like no one really knows - seeing mixed signals in the recent reporting. They are reporting higher GDP but the concern seems to be projected inflation increases and a possible housing bubble.
When diving into the reporting, I found some interesting nuggets referring to Putin directing his interior ministers toward manual economic controls since 2014. The thought is in mitigating crises (Crimea and now Ukraine). From looking at China, manual controls seem to work in the short term before mistakes set in long term. Curious to see how much longer Russia can hold out.
It's running way to fucking hot to be sustainable. You usually see it like this before hyperinflation sets in and people start eating grass.
The thing about modern economies is that it's been pretty extensively proven by now that you can run on a war deficit for basically forever as long as you have a couple strong trade partners.
Yeah I did a bit of looking around recent headlines and see similar sentiments:
I guess we'll see if they can dodge another bullet
It's not up to date but...
It's not a democratic country. Shit takes time to change. Have you seen the questions that slipped through the latest putin talk? The peasants are angry eggs are expensive nor because their country is murdering and raping kids.
Nah man hiding issues is much easier when there's no real accountability.
It's true that it's hard to predict the future but real Russian experiences are not really hard to find. Shit is pretty bad already and that's with hacking and hiding the system. If you think a country can prosper without global trade then I have a bridge to sell you.
I mean it's really bad. Some places have 200% inflation. My point is that you don't see collapse and btw communication is extremely important in economic reaction. If you stump the communication and transparency channels it just means the swings are less common but bigger. Thats why successful democratic countries value transparency and market reaction - to prevent huge swings and overcorrections that break shit.
I see people with zero economic background commenting and down voting in this thread just because they don't see "Russia collapses" in big letters on TV 🫣
