    So this is based on a proposed 2% forecasted increase by a Russian official according to private Russian numbers.

    Super legit

      Aren’t you able to read? It’s for 2022 when there was a decline. This year there’s a growth.

        Incorrect. This year there’s a theoretical forecasted growth by a Russian official using Russian numbers.

            Yes. The Russian economy went down last year, they think it will go up this year, and we’re basing that on reports from inside a propaganda-rich country that most recently regularly reports it’s winning a war it’s getting its ass kicked in.

            Excuse the more practical-minded for not believing their self-indulgent economic propaganda at face value.

              Many words, no single proof. You’ve just made propaganda yourself blaming Russia for it. Not?

                Literally countering your propaganda.

                What do you want proof of?

                Are you providing proof of anything? Sounds like your quoting improbable Russian talking points.

                  Propaganda must be fought with proof. You haven’t provided any, but baseless, angry statements.

                  No proof for your words = you’re making propaganda youself.

                    Baseless - I gave the example of Russia lying about how well its doing in their current war(this is proof against trusting their veracity).

                    Russia had an entire shadow economy that was completely differently valued than its actually economy for over a generation while it was the USSR, and the reports of their economy they issued were fabricated for decades.

                    They already fooled you once, and you’re telling everybody that Russia should be allowed to do it again.

                    Angry? Nope. These are simple truths and you just don’t like them.

                    You ignoring proof doesn’t mean it hasn’t been provided to you.
