      So the quick land grab and pillaging of Ukraine’s resources not going to plan then! We all know that was the plan so the rich and corrupt could grow even richer.

      I though he understood the solution to the problem but then he said “War need to be won”… that was the death sentence of all the premise.

      Well, putin should be able to spare you a few billions out of his pocket money

      There’s a sense of unease in Moscow! This seems to be the way Russians are publicly venting their frustration over the war against Ukraine. They take a roundabout approach, complaining about the economy, the financial sector, business failures and so on.

      This lil’bro is gonna be send to Ukraine Front to die real fast if he keeps on bringing attention to their destroyed economy lmao. Shut up, close your eyes and suck Putin’s cock like a good boy you are.

      I do hope Ukraine holds back negotiations for a while so that they scream and suffer some more first.

      He was so close to actually saying it but “War needs to be won” might of saved his life, it’s just sad now really.

      Vlad had it pretty good, his own little empire and the gravy train from Europe. It just wasn’t enough for his ego.

    13. Nosleep72 on

      “and that war has to be won”… Impressive. They still can’t connect the dots. Just END this war, call your troops back home, negotiate reparations. THAT’S IT.

      Russia is basically ran like an organized crime family . Ukrainian drones targeting /taking out their source of income like refineries basically starves them in the future .. it’s like a trickle down effect in the economy especially in the rural areas . That’s why Russia is selling off their gold..

      Boohoo, go cry in your bunker in your remaining days.

      I can’t wait for Ruzzian schools to start teaching Ukrainian soon, the language of the soon-to-be victors.

      “BLyat what the hell is happening in our economy ebat,” then they think the solution to the problem is to double down 😒🤦‍♂️

    21. Traditional_Art_7304 on

      That was a nervous blink – like a ‘Oh shit – WHAT?!? blink’ – Enjoy & reap the whirlwind!!

      You actually *don’t* have to win that ill-conceived war. You will not have anything less if you quit now than you had before you started it — except an abused pride and a bunch of destroyed oil infrastructure which winning it won’t fix. You’ll instantly start saving money if you stop the war and stop paying men to be killed and paying for high tech equipment that could be used to build the economy and create more jobs and prosperity to be destroyed after a few hours or days of use. You’re wasting your resources, human and material, on nothing.

      I’ll never forget the scenes of the first few days of the invasion thinking that Ukraine was done……yet herewe are over 4 years later and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to see the orcs getting their asses handed to them, both on the battlefield and at home. My biggest wish is to see Putin get his due karma handed in spades.

    24. MixtureSpecial8951 on

      Dude was so close.

      The war, his word, does need to end. End in defeat for Russia.

    25. RemyVonLion on

      They must be so desperate to win because they’re deathly afraid of the repercussions of losing, they don’t want more debt haha

      I posted this also in r/CollapseOfRussia – but here I go again.

      —

      He said “Damn!”. Well let me put this down correctly: “Damn if we do, damn if we don’t.”.

      Currently they spend about 40% of their budget for the army. The results of this spending are not visible on the battlefield. Even if they spend everything on the war, they do not have the skilled personnel for that, let alone the material. Plundering old Soviet stockpiles of T-52 has not helped them.

      Getting money from the banks is like robbing a naked man. And the resource industry (oil, gas and so on) is severely hampered by Ukrainian drone attacks and sanctions.

      That leads to nationalization. This might buy them some time, but the oligarchs will fight for their fiefdoms, making a insurrection/rise of warlords/coups d’etat very likely.

      So all in all, Russia is doomed.

      Bye-bye – it was not nice knowing you, but everybody will be happier when you are gone.

      End the war because of the massive loss of life? Fuck that.

      End the war because its costing us money? Real shit.

      This is why people celebrate dead orcs. These are vile, evil people, from top to bottom, and the only people I feel sorry for are the minority of folks who disdain Putin and everyone he stands for.

      Fuck Ruzzia. Fuck your economy. FUCK PUTIN.

    28. Fancy_Caramel9087 on

      Oh boy, here comes nationalisation and HARD MFing taxation.

      Things are getting worse.

    30. Key-Lifeguard-5540 on

      Don’t forget it’s a war that you wanted and started and can end any time simply by getting out of Ukraine and stopping the invasion.
      All your other excuses are lies to get what you want, your neighbor’s property, even if it means murdering every last one of them.

      I’ve got a feeling that he’s gonna jump from a window and have the decency to close it behind him

      There is no way to avoid a repetition of 1992, even if russia would win on the battlefield.

      They economy is geared for war, civilian industries can’t thrive at the interest rates they have to pay.

      The state budget is geared to war with the wellfare fund running dry in the course of the next years.

      The state of mind is geared to war, with the fanatics on one side and the phlegmatic on the other. In between what is left of civil society dies.

      There is no economic boom of the 2000’s in sight. There is no prospect for oil revenue in the poorer countries, if China continues their solar driven conquest. There is high demand from the west anymore and it won’t come back. Infrastructure is destroyed and consumers are shifting.

      The schools are geared for war. Children are indoctrinated and russia’s internet is on its way to become a closed ecosystem.

      So the conclusion is clear, there is only one way forward: war. War for war’s sake. War, because as long as it rages, the downfall can be postponed. A couple of years, a couple of months, eventually a couple of days – but in the end it will come.

      I might know 1 Russian dude who has alot of money, I won’t say his name but it starts with Vladimir and ends with Putin.
