Comment on How is Russia not Financially Crippled?

How? How does a country take that much of a financial beating and still be thriving? Where is the point of being broke and not being able to fund a war anymore?

Not only that but I remember reading a lot of articles about how Russia was going to economically collapse as a result…almost two years ago.

Also a lot of articles about how weak Russia was militarily, how they lost all their troops and equipment already, how morale in their military was so poor the army was just going to run away at any moment…for almost two years now.

Yet here they are still, not collapsed, not defeated. It probably is a good idea to take the media with a grain of salt and realize just because they’re the so-called free press doesn’t make them necessarily the truthful press.

The media is complete fucking bullshit. On bith sides of the poltical spectrum. And pricate forums are unfortunately also full of bullshit. It is very very very very difficult to obtain accurate information and anaytics these days. Hence all the issues with misinformation all over the place. Then throw in AI to make it exponentially worse… it’s all fucked.

    It’s not, but it has gotten worse over the past like 7 years. Now it’s even more accelerated with AI.

Yeah, for people listening to good analysts we knew all that stuff about Russia collapsing was mostly wishful thinking. Perun is a good example, early on he talked about how russia will likely be able to maintain their economy and military production, albeit at wartime levels. But I can see how a layperson only reading sensationalized news headlines could’ve of thought there was a real possibility.

Russia is like 7x the size of Ukraine and has been losing for over a year.

To be fair the russian army has lost experienced leaders in all areas and it will have long term negative effects. Morale has been particularly low, maybe it didn’t cause a collapse but it sure caused an increase in russian POWs, abandoned vehicles, and a lack of initiative. Supply problems have also slowed down artillery and operations.
