The Russian Economy Is Imploding
- mark_l_watson 4y agoWhat the article says might be true. However, I didn’t see a discussion of the bad effects the sanctions are having on our economy. Not a balanced article. Also, I think Foreign Policy magazine might be a shill for profiting from the war industry - but I don’t red it so that is a guess on my part.
- Arnt 4y agoAt first glance, I don't think you can really discuss the bad (or good) effects the sanctions are having on "our" economy and really distinguish them from the effects of the war, and of other countries' sanctions that than "our", and of second-order effects via the effects of the above on other countries' economies that lead to good or bad effects on "our". It's too mixed to separate, at least without hindsight. So you're expecting something impossible.
- imwillofficial 4y agoI’m expecting restraint in unfalsifiable statements from well respected journalists and their outlets.
- imwillofficial 4y agoIt is actually the opposite of imploding. Biases like this to support a worldview are not helpful.
- rlpb 4y agoDisagreeing by just stating the opposite of the article without any specifics of your claim and without any evidence is not helpful.
- imwillofficial 4y agoGo look up how the Russian currency is doing. This isn’t hard folks
- rlpb 4y agoThe article covers this and explains why (in the author's opinion) it's a false metric. I'm not saying the article is definitely right. My point is merely that so far you haven't added anything useful to the conversation.
