Hello! This is Alexandra Prokopenko with your weekly guide to the Russian economy — brought to you by The Bell. I am joined this time by analyst Alexander Kolyandr. We focus this week on how the Ukraine war is gradually becoming key to both Russia’s economy and its politics and

Russia’s war in Ukraine is already in its 17th month. In that time, President Vladimir Putin has clearly demonstrated that he is not bothered by losses — whether they be financial, material, or human. His war will go on as long as he needs. And, judging by how the authorities have woven the so-called “special military operation” into Russian life, that will be a long time.

    This fucking clownery must end with Trump being Putin’s doggy or whatever you liberal lot conjure up. Trump is an incompetent right wing asswad and simply showed the true nature of American society, which is why Americans/Westerners hate him. Nobody hated him when he was genociding Yemen and going “for the oil” in Syria, just after Obama/NATO bombed the fuck out of spread democracy and liberated Libya.

    Trump is a joke and he has no relation to Putin in any form or shape, besides the fact that Trump happened to lead Republicans, and in the Deep State, Republicans are the China hating publicly racist party while Democrats are the Russia hating institutionally racist centre-right party.
