Poverty isn't lack of money but lack of things.

Russia vs Ukraine war....the new Covid, world powers isolating them selves after pushing Ukraine into war

boyfrank:
Where are all the Putin fan boys. Mangyalt, Bkayy and the rest. World power is not by weapons and aggression only.

Stop listening to Western media. Have BBC told you that they pay Russia 1b dollars for gas?

You can confirm it on ordinary Google. It is not classified.

There currency jus dey crash more....


You people saying is west propaganda or sanctions av no effect shuld kontinu....

It becomes a problem if they decide to trade with you which they don't. Russia is almost self sufficient. Apart from gay porn, there is nothing they need that they can't get from China.
This is the same CNN and Western media complaining that "Independent" Pakistan chose to buy Wheat from Russia.

They prefer Pakistanis starve because of their sanctions than enjoy good food from Russia.

Russia is already a weak and very poor country so this is more like the last nail.

Powerful global economies and strong global brand economies are rich because they make money from manufactured goods and exports, they make cars, luxury goods, they manufacture commercial jetliners, cell phones, and other globally known consumer items, but nothing meaningful is manufactured in Russia because they are economically and industrially backward, their only source of power is oil and maybe leftover soviet-era military-industrial complex.

Russia is not known for anything, even South Korea is known for Kia, Hyundai heavy industries, and auto manufacturing, computer chips, Samsung and so on, Russia is known for nothing apart from useless Nuclear weapons that they can not use.

Imagine Russia with all their gra gra crumbling just days after global sanctions, this is because Russia is a weak and vulnerable country with fake farecard and flawed power projection based on military power that's also very flawed, most of their weapons and military hardware are old, substandard and inferior soviet era weapons and hardware, you can see them breaking down and not even making it to Ukraine.

China, their so-called friend is enforcing the sanctions why? Because the Chinese economy depends on the goodwill of the rest of the world so they don't want collateral damage.


This is how weak Russia is as a Nation, the US crippled the Soviet Union by outspending them and history is repeating itself.

It is Oil and Gas that Russia produces

They have good Engineers but they are not good at Industial Production

They should stop complaining.. Na dem first cook the meal .. when the whole world later gather cook same for dem.. so they should eat it and just keep kwayet

THIS IS NO RUSSIA WAR BUT PUTIN'S WAR.RUSSIANS ARE AFRAID OF PUTIN SINCE JACK SHERRACK LEFT AS PRESIDENT. THE WORLD MUST ISOLATE RUSSIA LET THEM RISE BOLDLY AND DEVOUR PUTIN FOR ALL HIS EVIL KILLINGS.

sotall:
Putin is immuned to economic sanctions.

His nairaland cyberdogs will help him build his economy with propaganda

See them here ....they have already started building Russia's economic firewall and backups.

You are not revealing anything new and you obviously don't know anything about the sanctions.

They are still selling gas because Energy is so far not part of the sanction specifically to allow Russia to keep making a small change to feed the Russian population, a purely humanitarian gesture. ...but Energy sanctions are on the table depending on Putin and how he prosecute his war and atrocities.

The sanctions are biting in a million other ways

And what are these economic firewalls and backups? Where are they located? On NL I'm sure..

I know Europe is heavily dependent and addicted to cheaper gas from Russia. But in a cut troath game for survival and supremacy, Russia will lose in the long run. Despite pressures from US since Obama, Europe refused to stop their dependence on Russian energy. Now they have started to withdraw. Germany is in talks with France, France has nuclear power plants that can supply Germany and EU have started implementing future power plans. Only the US and China will come out of these unscathed. Both Western Europe and Russia will loose in the long run.

In their bedrooms..

Nonpartisan1:
Essentially, the West took down Russian finances in one day. The situation is likely to become worse than in 1998 because now there is no positive end. All Russia's capital markets appear to be wiped out & they are unlikely to return with anything less than profound reforms.

The Moscow stock markets have closed & Russian stocks are no longer traded in New York, presumably all 31 soon gone in London. The three big foreign banks in Moscow are likely to withdraw: Raiffeisen, Societe General & Unicredit: No profitable business in sight.

But Nairaland arm- chair supporters feel otherwise yeye people.

Wait till the sanctions start weighing in fully.

Putin the coward has lost everything in this careless war he has chosen.

It is very clear now that west controls world economy.

They are yet to feel a thing

They should wait till next week before the financial issue go frustrate them, ridiculous high price of goods and services, inability to travel around the world.

Though I understand Russia government is using propaganda on their media stations, but Russians should know better if Navalny can tweet about this issue from prison
