Turns out Russia’s in a much better economic position overall than the west right now
https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.telegraph.co.uk%2Fbusiness%2F2022%2F02%2F24%2Fgreater-russia-now-full-spectrum-commodity-superpower-less-vulnerable%2F
It turns out such comparisons are much less meaningful when we don’t actually share an economy.
Turns out you didn’t read the article.
No, I didn’t.
It’s ok though, because I wasn’t really attempting to make a response to the article per se, so much as reacting to another example of a trope that was introduced by the MSM mere hours before the invasion began in earnest.
FTR, I don’t think any of this can be taken entirely at face value, except perhaps for the suffering being inflicted on regular folk just trying to get along in their lives.
Once you read the article, you’ll learn that western economies are actually fairly tightly coupled to Russia’s economy.
