The Russian economy is outperforming Germany's
unherd.com
Virtually every forecast, whether it concerns the war in Ukraine, the economic outlook, or the strength of far-Right parties, has a tendency to end up worse than expected. The one thing that is running better than expected is the Russian economy, with the country’s GDP growth currently outperforming Germany’s.  [...]Read More...

    1. What does mediabiasfactcheck.com have to do with russian economy and my original post?

    2. What makes it neutral and unbiased?

    3. A website can feed you a lot of bullshit whilst pretending to be unbiased, hard-core, independent “fact checker”. It’s even easier. I’ve seen this during the little-flu c-19 virus: the “fact check” websites were the greatest source of bullshit

    Go read some Brazilian, Indian sources, for instances, about Russian economy in 2022-2023. Or the ones from Malaysia, Indonesia. From the Middle East. Hungary, Serbia. These will be more or less neutral.

    You can even go listen to Alexander Mercouris – he’s from the UK.

      1. You wanted non-biased sources. You can check the bias on that website (My sources are not biased).

      2. Fact that the source has come from both within and outside of Russia and the articles are independently corroborated by third parties.

      3. It is not surprising to discover you don’t believe in facts. But you don’t have to. They believe in you!

      If you have any faith in any of your sources, send them over.

      Not that you even have a coherent argument and you’ve already been proved wrong or ignorant multiple times, so it doesn’t seem worth it.

        1. “check bias”. I have. And?

        2. US and European sources - are also “non Russian” ones. Are they biased against Russia or not? The ones on the website that come from Russia itself - may also be biased. Why? Because there’re certain people, as in every country, who want to change the current government from within.

        3. On Youtube, listen, for instance, to:

        • a) Scott Ritter (US ex-marine, lived in Russia too) / Ask the inspector / he has a SubStack also

        • b) The New Atlas - by Brian Berletic

        • c) The Duran

        All these are english sources, and they all are knowlegable about Russia and geopolitics

            Because you asked me for them in (3) --> If you have any faith in any of your sources, send them over.

            Not?

              But they are sources adrift, sources without a point.

              You didn’t know about the Russian shadow economy, so now you’ve learned about that and the associated Russian lies.

              You’ve at least acted like you didn’t know about the Russian Ukraine war, so now you know about that and the lies Russia told about that.

              But it doesn’t seem like you have any argument of your own, so why are you sharing sources?

                But they are sources adrift, sources without a point.

                Without what point? They discuss the Russian economy too. Not always.

                You didn’t know about the Russian shadow economy, so now you’ve learned about that and the associated Russian lies.

                How do you whether know I knew or not? I didn’t tell you. Nor did I mention it in any way.

                You’ve at least acted like you didn’t know about the Russian Ukraine war, so now you know about that and the lies Russia told about that.

                What are you smoking?

                But it doesn’t seem like you have any argument of your own, so why are you sharing sources?

                Again - what are you smoking?

                  Dude you can just say you were ignorant, it’s fine.

                  Nobody cares.

                  You’re learning, that’s a good thing.

                  Even if you apparently still don’t have a point. You don’t need one.

                    You didn’t even understand my comments. It’s not that I hadn’t known about that – you made 2 baseless assumptions about my knowledge. Because it seemed to you so. Didn’t you?

                    If you’re a bit of moron, it’s fine :)
