Yet all those geniuses looking exclusively to hang on some copes that Russian economy is about to collapse.

Inflation can be 200% but if you still have a job and your salary increased by 220% you got richer.

Same people jerked about that sanctions effect is not directly. Like can those neighbors even think ? When sanctions are announced economy get directly hit and has to find alternatives, the more time passes the better adopted the economy gets towards those sanctions and also finds alternatives.

Also let's assume everything is ultra bad for Russian economy. Will China let Russia lose against the west ?

EU was saying banning Russian from swift the only world banking system at that time will destroy Russian economy and today there are tons of swift alternatives :marseythumbsup:

Other blame west:

"If you don't give us money we build nuke, can we have money to build nuke ?"

Basically after Trump won those pro Ukrainians started losing followers.

So I posted yesterday that Russian have entered Kupyansk

Pro Ukrainian Twitter accounts:

Today:

:surejan:

Claim yesterday only 2 Russian missiles were flying and only 1 hit something. We got yesterday a video from Odesa 3 missiles hitting same spot.

And this time we even actually know what was hit, some boats from Austria and AD systems from Germany

Also France is ready to send the Ukrainian it trained to Ukraine

It will be one of weakest Ukrainian brigade because frogs have zero combat experience and they teaching some textbook shit Ukrainians that been fighting for a long time.

Simple truth Russian economy is growing

"For example, the supporters of tariffs treat it as self-evident that the creation of jobs is a desirable end, in and of itself, regardless of what the persons employed do. That is clearly wrong. If all we want are jobs, we can create any number--for example, have people dig holes and then fill them up again, or perform other useless tasks. Work is sometimes its own reward. Mostly, however, it is the price we pay to get the things we want. Our real objective is not just jobs but productive jobs--jobs that will mean more goods and services to consume."

  • Milton Friedman

paying citizens with tax money to sit in a factory to produce something the government then shoots out of a barrel a month later isn't economic growth

I get that tariffs are a market inefficiency, but I can't assume that all market inefficiencies are bad. I can also accept that Trump's proposed % are too high, but what about if they were half the amount?

There are benefits to tariffs, such as natsec, autarky, social cohesion, and of course job creation. Tradeoffs too.

Libertarians, outside of some basedties like free speech, privacy & hating central banks, seem like massive rigid-thinking neurodivergents who are relegated to online forums for a reason. Their socially-adept counterparts, the globalists/neolibs, are the same folk who spent 30 years turning Aus/CN/NZ into homogenous Chindian hellscapes. I reject cosmopolitanism for this reason.

(not to mention libertarians supporting high immigration when non-white blocs vote for much more collectivistic policies)

Tariffs aren't bad when implemented properly.

I unironically don't care I just wanna see the US go back to a closed and protected economy and see the rest of the world go to shit. :patrioticscreeching:
