Topic: Russia as the cornerstone of the world economy (Read 361 times)

I agree that the comparison of rashism with cancer has not yet become a mass opinion, but this is a temporary state - it's just that many are still under the influence of propaganda, which formed a completely different image of Russia, and not everyone understands the real goals of Russia. This will be corrected. About fascist Germany, the opinion of the masses also changed dramatically in a couple of years.

Regarding other things.
So what if leopards are the previous generation? In the modernized state, they are quite suitable for performing a certain class of tasks. The fact that the United States, Britain and other countries are supplying more modern weapons is great - Russia has finally got a real enemy! And not obviously hopeless and guaranteed to be weaker, which Russia is used to "heroically defeating"

Conflict with NATO - what will it solve? Get global anal humiliation before death? So Ukraine has already raped the Russian army "do not indulge in the most"! Try to wave a nuclear club? What about the meaning? And what is the logic - guaranteed to be destroyed? Here I will express my opinion - if you look at the reality of recent months, in which the "most powerful economy" of Russia collapsed in one month, and the "second most powerful army in the world" shamefully loses to the "army that does not exist", I will assume that the strategic missile forces have the same coefficient fake. I think that the problem lies more in the field of psychiatry, or rather, the painful destruction of the personality of a bunker rat, which, realizing that it would be smeared, decided to go down in history as "the destroyer of the whole world" before his death. Only Russia, its entire fake history, will undergo real destruction, and the people will drag out a miserable existence for many decades, being responsible for the crimes of rashism, of which almost all of them were. I'm sure 2022 will judge us

Unfortunately, a point of view like yours seems to be quite widespread in narrow circles. In words, the West in every possible way denies direct military participation in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, but in reality the likelihood of this continues to increase with each new supply of weapons to Ukraine. When it comes to deliveries from Germany of old Leopards 1, which have a place in the dustbin of history, and not on the battlefield, this is one thing, but when the United States begins to supply more serious and modern heavy weapons, this is quite another. I assess the likelihood of a direct military conflict between Russia and NATO in the next 4-6 weeks as already high enough to be neglected. Such a conflict, under all possible scenarios for modeling the development of events, will quickly develop into a third world war with the use of nuclear weapons. Russia's demonstration of the capabilities of hypersonic weapons has forced many of the current strategies of NATO generals to be thrown into the trash, but not all of them. Even the understanding that no one will be able to sit out in a bunker on the other side of the ocean does not seem to be a strong enough deterrent.

With a direct clash of different mentalities with different ideological attitudes, the one with the firmest attitude wins. But if two cars are racing towards each other at high speed and neither of them is ready to turn, there will be a head-on collision and both will die. Someone will go to heaven, and someone will simply die - the only difference is this. Here is a question that every person should ask themselves every day until this conflict is over - are you ready to die today?

I am absolutely sure that if Putin and his entourage had the opportunity to re-determine the issue of an attack or non-attack on Ukraine, which took place on February 24, they would not have done this. Russia has already realized that they are on the verge of a military defeat from Ukraine, and most importantly, on the verge of an economic collapse due to devastatingly harsh international sanctions as a result of such aggression. In Russia, they were not ready either for tough military resistance from Ukraine, or for such cohesion of the civilized world and for such sanctions.
Now it seems that Putin has set a course for the self-destruction of Russia as a state, because he does not want to officially admit his mistakes and change course to seize the territory of Ukraine. This will happen if Putin is not stopped in time in Russia itself.

You understand what the problem is with Russia's nuclear weapons - yes they do exist, yes they are ready, at least according to statements, to use them. But let's look at this situation, in a timeline of +50 years, for example. The EU and the US, for example, will surrender Ukraine tomorrow. AND ? What's next ? Is it all over? Not ! On the contrary - having felt the taste of "victory" Russia will say - now hand over the Baltic countries to me! And what to do again?
I will now give a very simple example, but very clear. "Russian World" or rashism is an oncological disease that is now trying to hit the world. If you have come across this class of diseases, then you know how it is treated - very painful and destructive procedures of chemotherapy or radiotherapy. This creates a terrible side effect. BUT ! The only way to cure cancer is to KILL IT! The situation with rashism and its nuclear weapons looks exactly the same. You can not give in and give up, only win! Only destroy otherwise he will destroy all of us, someone before someone a little later ...

We all live in a global ecosystem and like every ecosystem, where there is a niche for every species.
It's important to understand that russia is a keystone species in world ecosystem.
We need russia as much as russia need world.
In the universe of self obsessed nations, we are not realising that this war can have severe implications for all
I wish it all end soon.. may ukraine recover soon

This is the funniest title that I have ever read in my life. Does Sputnik or former Russia Today publish articles around that subject while proving how important their role is?
I have lived in Russia years ago and I can definitely say that the only developed, beautiful and rich cities here are Moscow and Saints Peterburg, other areas look like a mixture of underdeveloping and developing countries.

Everyone asks, can Europe survive without Russian gas? But now one asks - Can Russia survive without its gas export and relations with Europe? Not anyone here thinks that China is a great power that won't help Russia but use it for its national goals? Remember that Asian culture is different from Western culture (West is no angel but just saying). This war will weaken Russia. And comfort? What's comfort for rich people today? Newest iPhone, MacBook, luxury cars, Gucci & Chanel bags and fragrances, luxury houses, etc. Russian Instagram influencers are saying goodbye to these things and instead of German cars, they will have to ride their Lada.

The pain from the current war will be temporary. Ukraine fights because it doesn't want to stay with Russia and starve in poverty, they want to become part of the EU & Nato, they want a high quality of life rather than the low one that Russia has, that's the reason behind this war, not just territories.

I agree with your opinion. Of course, Russia understood all the consequences of this war. I think the Russian government made this decision due to the lack of other options, if the economic threat did not stop it. Russia can influence the world price of oil, gas and, of course, wheat. I think these figures will increase in price around the world.

War in general can be devastating in terms of the economic sector, that's for sure, there is a difference that wars occur in countries that have no effect on the world, most likely from a world economic perspective it doesn't matter.

It's a different story with superpowers like Russia, America, China, etc., if they go to war the negative effects are big enough, especially the economy, you certainly know Russia has the largest natural resources in the world, many need natural resources for other countries, bottom line: what you say is not wrong, but if it continues, the world will have another alternative to boost the economy, But not sure it will work, actually in this war, based on selfishness, the effect of selfishness can be fatal from all factors especially economics etc.

But it will atleast take 5 years or more to become completely independent of natural gas until that people can live without fuel? How the transaction will happen and a the supply chain will be on hault so they have to accept the Russians new deal order and has to prepare themselves to tackle this condition in the future by not over depending on anything for particular country.

The world is currently only surprised by the economic war that is happening but rest assured slowly but surely, the world ^{(especially Europe)} will adapt to the existing conditions.  Now the problem is how the best solution for Europe can overcome its dependence on oil and gas originating from Russia.

The problem is that you intentionally or not, but confuse bias and a set of facts. Bias is when in any situation I would call Russia guilty. Yes, I agree - there is a lot about Russia in my posts. But these are facts related to the terrorist war unleashed by them against my country. I live here, I see it with my own eyes. I know what the USSR is because I was born here. I have seen since childhood this wild propaganda and anti-human regime. And I heard about terror from my father, who served with the Soviet army, and from him I heard what she did in Afghanistan ... And after the collapse of the USSR, I spent many years studying this issue.

By the way, if you listen to the state propaganda of the USSR or Russia, then there is just a bias there - in everything, since the times of the USSR, the Americans are to blame for them. Now, since 2014, more have been added - Ukrainians

About terrorism - what a bias. Once again, this is a FACT. If you want to say that all countries have created terrorist movements, and I can only choose Russia - ok, then arguments and facts, otherwise this is a classic attempt to divert the dialogue...
But in addition to "general", while unprovable phrases, you have not a single argument! So, of course, it’s extremely easy to conduct dialogues - no need to strain, have knowledge, just deny what you don’t like, and talk about reality about what’s on hand

about your boundaries. You can philosophize a lot to me about the whole world. It was enough for me the day before yesterday to visit Irpin and Bucha. I would like you to look at what a real terrorist war is. On the corpses of tortured people, on children's corpses in the morgue, on virtually completely destroyed cities. It's good to philosophize and fantasize away from death and reality... Very easy...

About nuclear weapons - you asked, I answered whether you like it or not, but my position is exactly that, and I don't need your assessment

Why do you dislike the fact that the USSR/Russia is the birthplace of world terrorism? This is a fact, I even named the person who systematically "implemented" it, I told you when and why it originated. Show dependencies. Further - if you want to know the reality - study the topic! But you're just in denial, and you're talking some nonsense about "everyone else wants more bombs."

Total: let's switch to the format of a normal, adequate dialogue, in the format of "reasoned question <> reasoned answer"? Or don't waste my time? OK ?

It's not about your English (I am far from perfect, very far), it's about your perspective, I find it strange a bit, from my point of view!


Man, every country is doing the same for centuries! It's a fact! That is why I am against all the governments of this world! Unlike you who support a party that does it "for the common good"! It's just an excuse for powerful forces to enter with their army wherever they want!
And you are the one who manipulates the facts to present yourself (and your gang) in a better light and the enemy in a bad one! The fact is that all the governments of this world are responsible for many evils that have happened, and they are mostly to blame for perpetuating hatred among the people of this world because it works in their favor, thus winning elections comes with a lot of benefits!



This is exactly what I said, you are biased! You are tied to this too much and that is why you do not see all the other conflicts in this world! You are the loudest in attacking one particular enemy, and that is your mistake, you think Russia is an enemy like Russia, but it is just another government that has nothing to do with the people who live in that area!

As I said, this is just another government that puts its goals over people's lives, and it's not the only one! Instead of history, read the 1984 book and maybe it will open your eyes! This is one special philosophy on how to easily manipulate the masses! Maybe then you will realize what's actually happening around the world, not just in one specific place...




Man, I support just a few things... and believe there's no government/country/religion in the world that I support! Before everything, I enjoy Bob Marley's words, and I am not Rastafarian either! So is weed legalized in Russia? hahahahahaha how can I be a supporter of Russia in any way, man?! What are you talking about?!

I don't have borders and bad thoughts in my head, but I felt bombs falling from the sky and a total blackout from the world... even though I didn't understand why that happens to me and why some people hate me! Later I figure that out, because of fucking governments, rich people, and their propaganda... now I don't trust any of them, but I am watching and following, and from my point of view there isn't a single government in the world with clean hands!


You sound like you would use one just if you have it! You would even shoot me cause I am a "Russian supporter"! Even though I can't care less about politics and governments! I am just looking on all sides and I see what they are doing, and unlike others, I don't have a short memory!


You again! Who is a terrorist for whom?! You need to learn so much more, to open your mind to many other things that are happening around the world before you can make any conclusions!

In one thing we sure agree, bombs can't solve a problem, but tell me why the hell all sides are trying to get their hands on more bombs?! When you answer this question you will realize that all governments are using any conflict to create even more differences between people, it's the best way to keep them high and many of us low!

Why are there so many confused new posters parroting blind Russian propaganda? Is the troll army now in overdrive considering the dismal performance of the Russian army and how the last 20 years of strategic manipulation by Putin was thrown away within the space of a few weeks? The Russian economy is going to sink and since this war seems to be dragging on, it looks like they may end up sitting in stagnation and isolation for many decades into the future due to this massive miscalculation and incompetence of leadership from the very top downwards. Every day we see new sanctions applied and eventually Europe will aim to wean itself off Russian oil and gas which is the last big remaining source of income for this country - because they produce so little else.

Ok, I admit that my English is not as perfect as yours. I will simplify and clarify.
1. For starters - no bias! You can refute the facts - please!
2. When you talk about "global bribery", you manipulate the facts a little. I give a specific example, where from the time of the USSR to the present time, the government buys for money, or provokes for money to take steps that then become compromising evidence, and eventually allow illegal decisions to be made, or imitation of situations that encourage such decisions. And here we will smoothly move on to the next issue - terrorism.
3. Let's get back to history. Remember such a trend as the "Red Terror". Do you know such a concept? Judging by your question - no, so I'll give you a break to study. This concept formed the basis of management, promotion of the interests of the USSR in the international arena. But that's not exactly what you wanted to hear. "Red terror" is what the Russian army is doing in Ukraine now, and before that it did in Georgia, Syria, Moldova and other countries - violence, killings of civilians, sadism and sexual perversion of the defenseless, looting ...
But "classic terrorism", this is the second step. Remember the date - 1967. Six-day war lost by the Soviet-Arab alliance. Classic military operations, by the forces of the USSR, showed their incapacity, by the way - similar to what is happening in Ukraine now. Other "technologies" of pressure were needed. And .. they appeared! In the period 1967-1971, KGB General A.M. Sakharovsky developed the concept of a terrorist war. From "peaceful protests" to blowing up houses, planes, and attacks against civilians using chemicals and other illegal drugs. Yes Yes ! If you read history, it was at this time that the cells of the first Arab terrorist groups began to form. Well, you can continue, in open sources, to find a lot of evidence of both covert and open support of the USSR / RF for these gangs. And I repeat once again, this is a fact that is extremely easy to verify, as soon as Russia starts a confrontation with the West or inside, the activities of terrorist groups begin. As soon as Russia has great difficulties, and it has no time for financing terrorists, the global activity of terrorist groups decreases.

Am I adding fuel to the fire? That is unlikely. It's just that you, like the classical supporters of the Russian world, really dislike the TRUTH The truth for the "Russian world" is like incense for the devils, don't be offended, this is also a fact!


PS. about the nuclear bomb. For me, this weapon is from the area of  "made, but it's not clear why." I am against weapons of mass destruction, and even more so in such a barbaric way. I think it should be destroyed everywhere, then at least before starting a war they will think about the consequences. Secondly, such terrorists will disappear, putting ultimatums, hiding behind nuclear weapons like Russia. Hope I answered your question

I'm trying to understand what you want to say, but I can't! Do you really think there's a government in the world that has not invested in bribery and that Russia is special for that? And have you really linked global terrorism to Russia?

What do you really want to say with your comment? That is very biased towards one side by the way! I don't know why I have a feeling that you are the one who thinks that harassment is OK as long as you are on the side of those who harass?!

What I see in all your comments is that you are just adding more gasoline to the fire... I am not sure what's your goal, but I don't like nationalists of any kind! You are either a free and open-minded person without borders in your mind, or you are just a slave of some system, whichever that system may be! And like all nationalists, it looks like you are ready to support your system over dead bodies, as long as it serves the goal!

PS: If you have a nuke would you use it?! Just asking to see how far are you ready to go...

In fact, the economic problem in the world has worsened, it is obvious that the USA has problems in its economy, problems that should never have been, and that is inflation, the fact of applying such strong sanctions caused many countries in Europe to be affected , more than anything with gas, Europe has a large consumption and this is a problem that has been escalating very quickly and this has generated discomfort in many, if rapid measures are not taken it can cause a gas crisis, without take into account that the shortage of oil to eat in France caused many to fall to blows, something similar when the same thing happened to Venezuela and with all its items that many countries saw as even more third world, now things seem to have changed, I think this is something to take into account to reflect on.

I don't know why this is an "amazing fact" for you. Let me explain - since the time of the Soviet Union (but I won’t insist here - I didn’t personally observe it), the USSR and then Russia invested huge amounts of money in bribing, collecting or forming compromising evidence on many European politicians. Remember the same Berlusconi, Schroeder, Merkel, today's presidents of Hungary and the Czech Republic, and many others with lower positions. This is all the "fifth column" of Russia. And they really perform all the commands of the Kremlin ghoul! The monopolization and dependence of the EU hydrocarbon market was built over the years and by the hands of well-known politicians. Uncomfortable politicians were removed, or problems were created for them through nationalist, far-right, and left-wing parties and groups, including terrorist ones. Do you want a fun challenge? Take an excel sheet and start filling in the columns with the following data: date, riots somewhere, and the third column - what events were taking place in or with Russia at that moment? After a couple of months, you will have a perfectly correlated sample of dependent events! The second interesting observation - have you ever noticed that international terrorist activity has a correlation with events around Russia? And as soon as there are real problems in Russia, such as the crisis of 1998, then suddenly all terrorist groups all over the world, except for very specific ones, suddenly subside. Here is such a funny statistic that is extremely easy to check

Well, let's get back to the essence of the matter - and so, all these "impossibility to break gas / oil / coal ties with Russia" - this is a completely manageable, well-protected process. Although we must pay tribute to the EU - recently there have been shifts. By the way - this sharply coincided with the departure from the post of "KGB Major Merkel"

If I'm not mistaken, many has tried though, but it's that Putin has enjoy the support of the people, maybe by intimidation or they simply love Putin. But it has reach it's pinnacle by being authoritarian regime that he is not unstoppable as a President and we could even call him a dictator. And they have the bargaining power, with all their oil against the EU countries. So the only way to stop him is to removed him right now but it is going to be very hard without any repercussions inside Russia.

The sad thing is, nobody could stop them and they realized this long time ago. I mean what could the world do about it? The power of nuclear they have, and the willingness to use it if they are not given what they want to creates the biggest issue right now.

What we are looking at right now is the fact that Russia could do whatever it wants, and if you do not do just sanctions, if you do something militarily, like send soldiers, then they will send nukes and that's it, there is no discussion after that and everyone is afraid of that. I do not think that Russia will stop here, they will do whatever they want to do, because nobody else could top them.

I would add this here - Russia, having previously delivered ultimatums a couple of times, and having received what it wanted, decided that they would continue to calmly achieve their goals by the method of threats, blackmail, ultimatums, and their fifth column in the EU (Merkel, Macron and many others) . They were sure that the EU, the USA, Britain would allow Ukraine to be swallowed up, once again closing their eyes or "expressing concern." But something went wrong. Billions of euros spent on bribing heads of government and political parties in the EU suddenly depreciated in an instant. The EU, the US and Britain realized that it is impossible, even if it is very profitable, to help the CRIMINAL-world terrorist, and some measures must be taken. The first sanctions and assistance to Ukraine wildly angered Russia, after which the gas terror, pressure and horror stories about a nuclear strike began. And the US, Britain and the EU again decided not to be afraid, but to act. Not all, not to the full extent, not as well as they could, but they didn’t “sink” under the threats of a crazy dwarf! So what is happening now is what we see.

EU can always find better alternative from Russian gas. that I believe. it may be temporary that they feel to be crippled with this cut off. but there are other sources waiting to be tap. it is not the end for them. and so i don't think russia is to be considered the cornerstone of the world economy. sooner or later, the russia itself will find out that their economy is collapsing owed to this war, or it is already collapsing as we speak. later on, a lot of these countries wont rely from Russia anymore. there are more resources out there.

Correct, in a way we could just say that Russia is incredibly lucky to be sitting in a bunch of natural resources that the world needs, Japan on the other hand does not have many resources and yet it is one of the biggest economies of the world despite being almost obliterated after WW2, so they have a lot more merits from their economic power as they have achieved this with their hard work and their technological advances, also while it would take some time Europe will begin to look for alternatives to get their gas from other sources, and diminish the power Russia has over them and then increase even further their sanctions against them.

To rephrase what you are talking about, everything about the invasion is political and the economic sanctions imposed upon Russia is political and you think that Political war is not a problem for Russia  . FYI everything is politically connected, India and surrounding country is neutral in this scenario because China is supporting Russia and India and surrounding countries cannot stand against them because in an unlikely situation of a war between China and surrounding neighbors, no western country can help them .

Ukraine did not threaten Russia in any way and was such a peaceful state that it itself abandoned the third largest nuclear potential in the world, and also went to reduce the size of its army. For which she suffered from her aggressive neighbor Russia. However, Putin and his entourage made a big strategic mistake by launching the current open military invasion of Ukraine. For once, Ukraine will withstand this blow, and in the first month of the war alone, it has destroyed about 40 percent of Russia's military potential in terms of manpower and equipment. Putin is leading his country to death and poverty. I don’t know about Putin himself, but his entourage is already beginning to understand this. With such a military defeat and harsh sanctions, Russia will soon cease to be a superpower and it is likely that it will fall apart into several independent states.

If we look at the outside, this war is only between Russia and Ukraine.
but if we look deeper, actually this war is really complex and a lot of people are involved like the United States and China,
especially with this war continuing then it will be a problem for the global economy as you said that with the energy crisis it will have an effect on other crises

Instead of focusing on how much a country contributes, we should focus on the horrors of war between Russia and Ukraine.

And yes I agree with one of you said "The Russian government has every country on its toes now". 
Evidence of this can be seen in Putin's statement where he said that any country that helps Ukraine will be considered to have joined the war against Russia. How authoritative and confident people can make such an adventurous comment!

This really is just one of Putin's power moves to make Russia relevant in the geopolitical arena of the world.

China is the upcoming superpower which means that Russia will get co-opted by China as the purveyor of an alternative to west backed system of capitalist democracies. Either that or Russia will just go out with a bang (Lets just hope its not a nuclear one).

What Putin has put at stake is Russian pride and identity. Despite the misinformation about fighting Nazis, there is little chance that this can continue to receive support from the population. The world isn't so closed anymore and the Russian channels of misinformation aren't as absolute and strong as that of China. The invasion will at some point lose support.

As far as Russia being the cornerstone of world economy, when was the last time that a technological innovation from a Russian corporation took the world by surprise. The time of USSR innovation and mega-manufacturing is long gone. Most of it has been taken over by the corporate espionage of China. America remains the only credible balancer to China. Russia is really just a power on its way out. Imagine all of this WITHOUT Putin. Nobody would have given a damn.

Russia is not the cornerstone of the world economy, but as the world's second-largest supplier of oil it also has some influence. The truth is that when the war between Russia and Ukraine took place, US sanctions affected Russia's oil supply to the world and the world is going through bad days because of the energy crisis. Once the energy crisis hits, all other crises in the world will follow.

Apparently the op didn't do a bit of research before making his post, it is very clear on the charr where the Russian economy is in the chart, we have country's like US 24.4%, chaina 15.4%, Japan %6.13, Germany %4.6 on the world economy, Russia is not even among the countries with high percent.
Putin should be the one concerned with the economic war his country his facing and not the other way round. He has nothing to hold against other countries beside crude oil which am sure there are alternatives.

Comparing GDPs of different countries is pretty oversimplifying and kinda misleading.
Russia exports oil,natural gas and grain,which are essential for the global economy(especially for the European economy). Natural gas is being used in many industries and what would happen with the Italian economy,if Russia stops selling oil and gas to Italy?I assume that Italy might start buying oil and gas from somewhere else(at a higher price),which will eventually slowdown the growth of the Italian economy and lower the standard of living in Italy.
What if Russia stops exporting grain?This might create food shortage in Europe.
Anyway,this is an economic war between Russia and the western world,not between Russia and the entire world.Both Russia and the western world will suffer a lot from the sanctions.

Russia’s power lies within its nuclear capabilities only. Their economy is peanuts compared to the western world. Even with the invasion of Ukraine in the world is not as concerned with Russia unless they make advancements on a NATO affiliated country. It’s true that some Eastern European countries are receiving military support from the US as a precaution but I would not consider that to be any major concern. If they truly were concerned they would have nuclear submarines on standby. This is a war between Russia and Ukraine the rest of the world is just watching.

Russia is 11th on the global GDP scale. They aren't world leaders.

The Russian people could be a cornerstone perhaps but that government currently is undermining free trade, its the opposite of a cornerstone in the instability and threat it poses to all people.    Russia needs to develop its economy even before this war it was vital to do so and it has not yet managed that security in of itself, the timing and thoughts behind this war is poor for their own people also regardless of how it ends.
  Any country relying on purely a commodity economy is actually highly fragile, Saudi Arabia recognizes this, the UAE gets that modern development is required not to be left behind despite their great wealth currently.

I wouldn't say cornerstone of the world, but they are definitely a strong nation. Imagine a nation so powerful and scary at the same time that a whole organization called NATO was built to defend all together against just one nation. Obviously at that time it was against USSR and not Russia, and USSR had a few other nations involved, whereas Russia doesn't but that eventually became not a problem because they were basically helping them, and instead they did not which allowed them to spend money back to themselves.

Russia is very vey rich when it comes to energy sources, gas and oil mainly, and that does allow them to be rich but definitely not cornerstone of the world.

I don't think they projected economic advantage at all. Russia isn't that dumb not to realize that an invasion would be followed by more sanctions. So they probably accounted for some of those, but allegedly didn't expect the sanctions to be as harsh as they are. Also, they weren't planning a long war. It's clear from both pre-war Western estimates and Russian propaganda that they expected to take over Ukraine very fast, in a matter of days. They didn't expect Ukraine to fight back as much, so now it's been going badly for Russia for a while. It might somewhat stay afloat if the EU doesn't impose a full gas and oil embargo, but I hope they will (or at least some major countries will do so individually), but no economic gain will be a result of this war for Russia.

If war didn't exist the Russia maybe facing the more economical problems but now they are getting the benefits out of the sanctions. Russia isn't actually contributing to the world's economy but from this they are taking help of the two biggest countries which are China and India so they can be able to continue their exports while the western countries are going to suffer due to the oil price hike.

Russian gas can not be the reason that it has become the corner of world economy. Russia is supplying gas majorly to EU and they have not prepared themselves for this kind of situation and this is the reason they are facing this situation when Russia is cutting out gas supply from them. There are other countries supply gas but because the EU have not been trading with them and distance making it a challenge. Russia is not a corner stone they are just rich in supply of gas to EU.

yes it is right now Russia seems to be controlling the prices of world oil and gas,,, but in the future it won't be long, because some countries are ready to explore their oil and gas and increase their production...and if these projects are completed , surely Russian oil and gas will be replaced

Am sure the Russians know what they’re doing and where this war will definitely lead to. They’re showcasing their strength as a nation to other nations that will dare to threaten their existence with mere political rights and democratic rule as a whole. Sooner or later the world will find out the meaning of the war and its true intentions.

This is the funniest headline ever! Tell me - did you prepare it for April 1st?
So ... Once again, "Russia as the cornerstone of the world economy" ? Are you seriously ? Why not Spain? Or like Italy?
Do you know why I laugh? Because in the WORLD economy, the share of Russia is 1.99%, and Italy is 2.44% !!! What is the impact of Russia on the world economy? 2%? The Italian economy is POWERFUL!
You are confusing an exaggerated image with reality! You are confusing a huge uninhabited, devoid of civilization, territory, with the words "largest country"!

Here is a picture where you can find the Russian economy and compare with the rest

Repercussions on who? well it must be Russia you're talking about here because no any country bearing the cost than Russia, they are paying more than it cost.

There's no maybe here, this is a matter of certainty that Russia is truly going through alot and the citizens are most affected.


The sanction place on Russia is a symbolic sign that no country is permitted to relate, trade or engage on any economic affairs with Russia because Ukraine invassion is uncalled for which is understood by everyone.

Without Russia, the world will live, I can say you overpraise Russia.

The war is not between the world and Russia, the war is between US, UK, EU and Russia. But most countries in the world see Russia invasion as inappropriate.

Rouble price has been increasing back and almost up to pre-war time. Maybe the effect of the sanction can continue to increase after some years if EU do not change their decision but Russia is already negotiating with other friendly countries for the supply of exports from Russia.

I do not know what will happen to be earnest, we are all watching, but Russia may see negative effect of EU not importing from Russia again which may happen.
