    Russia has surpassed Germany and Japan to be the 4th largest economy during the war.

    🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
    You are seriously deluded. That’s by the heavily manipulated official numbers, and only by PPP, in international value they are only 9 despite their manipulated numbers.
    This is also based on the current value of the Ruble, which is highly inflated because Russia has limited all imports and basically everything that requires money go out of Russia.
    The truth is the country is in heavy deficits and have a very hard time financing it, because trust in the Russian economy is near zero. Both the federal government and several states are near bankrupt.

    That the Russian economy should be bigger than Japan, Germany, UK and France is ridiculous. Russia is at best 11 in the world even by PPP. Ukraine is 45 with an open way more realistic economy with $730,758 million (IMF 2026 est) Russia state $7,340,795 million. How would it be possible for Russia to lose if they have a 10 times bigger economy and 4 times the population? The truth is that they obviously do not have the economy they claim.

      Russia is winning. More territory every week. The strategic patience, with EU and US occupying bases inside it, of Putin is a disappointment, as it is political capital related, but the political theater of this war, Putin accepts patiently, has predetermined plot ending of Russian demands. This was always a weapons grifting war, with, what should have been understood as, a laughable propaganda campaign against Europeans.

        No they are not, last month they lost more territory than they won, and Ukraine has completely thwarted the Russian spring offensive.

        with EU and US occupying bases inside it

        Neither EU or USA have any bases in Ukraine. Actually EU now has military personnel in Ukraine to be educated by the Ukrainians in drone strategies. Even if we had bases in Ukraine it would not be an occupation.

        Putin accepts patiently, has predetermined plot

        Like winning in three weeks?
        Very convincing mr mc clown face. 🤡 🤡 🤡

        The rest doesn’t make any sense, even with my abilities understanding 5 languages that enable me to understand most foreigners trying to speak English, IDK if you are Russian and very bad at English?

        But very clearly you are seriously misinformed. And it’s laughable how you just carry on with new false points after your previous points are shown to be false.

            How is that in any way relevant, since those bases aren’t used against Russia?
            And no USA is not occupying bases in Europe, they have bases in Europe because Europe allows it.
