Topic: The impact of war on global economy. - page 2. (Read 2983 times)

I really don't know what the existence of the United Nations is, and it could be an organization that is also manipulated by certain powers to serve their own interests rather than being an organization and bringing justice for all humanity.

Furthermore, war is not good for people like us, but it is good for politicians, those who want to assert power, those who are greedy and want to dominate the world. For them war is a way to gain power and gain wealth through arms trade. That's why they always propagate to us that war is a crime, the destruction of humanity, but on the other hand, they are the creators of war.

Although the war took place between two countries, its effects can be seen all over the world. For example, due to the war situation in Russia and Ukraine, it has a bad effect worldwide due to which economic crisis has occurred in various countries. Russia directly supplies many countries in the world with various raw materials for generating electricity including crude oil, but when the war between Russia and Ukraine took a terrible turn, all Russian imports and exports were stopped, but it had a negative impact on the whole world.

United Nations is there to maintain peace in the world, I think if the United Nations is serious about this, then no country may go to war. War brings only destruction, reconciliation is good not only for each other but for the whole world.

Russia failed to achieve significant success on the battlefield, attacking what it thought was a defenseless Ukraine and hoping to completely seize its territory within days or weeks. But this war has been going on for three years now and without significant successes for Russia. Therefore, Putin’s Russia has changed its tactics and has been shelling cities and other populated areas of Ukraine every day for a long time using all possible military means, trying to sow chaos and significant displacement of civilian refugees. Almost every day there are attacks by missiles and drones on the entire territory of Ukraine, as well as more than a hundred front-line settlements from cannon artillery.

Particularly destructive is Russia’s use of high-power corrective bombs, weighing up to a ton or more.
However, yesterday, for the first time in history, the Russian occupiers dropped an aircraft high-explosive bomb FAB-3000 M-54 weighing three tons and having a warhead of 1.2 tons on a hospital building in the village of Liptsy in the Kharkov region. The bomb fell 15 meters from the hospital building, but even in this case it caused significant damage to the building.

Wars are always detrimental to both parties to the conflict, whatever the loss, such as facilities, access, economy and even deaths that cannot be blocked, this is certain and it is very detrimental in my opinion.

Not only the poor in my opinion, but everyone also suffers, the level of suffering I think it can not be normalized as a social standard, because if a rich person who is also affected by war such as his business or family is equally suffering, the war in Ukraine also affects the global economy both from petroleum trade which is getting more expensive because it is the material to continue the war and also some conditions that may be forced because of other needs such as people are afraid to export their oil because there is a war so that supplies are depleted and prices increase.

Even in my country, which is far away from the conflict but is affected by it, petroleum is expensive and we have to buy it at a high price too, and that causes some goods to be expensive because distributors need fuel to deliver all commodities to their consumers.

I think war is a bad thing as war destroys any country. If a war breaks out in a country then the GDP will never increase in that country but will decrease. War has a detrimental effect on the citizens of that country even on the economy of that country.

We can mention the war between Ukraine and Russia as a small example of this. Ukraine has suffered so much due to the war between Russia and Ukraine that we have seen one of our forum members asking for donations here to help with ambulances in Ukrainian hospitals and help the people of that country. Maybe because of the war in Ukraine, their economic situation, GDP has suffered greatly and their capital market has also suffered. Which has an impact on the citizens of their country. In war-torn countries, poor citizens suffer the most.

This war is basically an expression of Putin's arrogance which has changed the economic and geopolitical situation for the whole world. If the amount of money that is being spent on military could be donated to the underdeveloped countries of the world, it would be very positive for the world. There are many countries who are deprived of their basic needs and are living below the poverty line.

NATO member states, including the United States, have imposed various sanctions against aggressive countries, but Putin is more aggressive about war. In this case, he needs to be brought under the ban in more ways so that his power gradually decreases.

True words, brother. And the economic impact of this war that Putin unleashed is huge on almost every economy in the world. And when there's economic problems it's always the poor that suffer the most. Their little kids don't have enough food and even water in some places. Some of them die from that.

I'm positive that in modern times civilized society can stop aggression by applying only economic pressure on the aggressor country. Just economic pressure, but a harsh one. And they are not doing it.

It is well known that wars, and especially big ones, mean the destruction of everything that man has built over decades and hundreds of years with his hard work. This is a lot of human lives that war takes. However, it is worth remembering that war is not a natural disaster. These are conscious actions of the leaders of states and their people, who carry out the criminal will of these leaders.

Russia's military attack on Ukraine, which has been going on for three years now, first of all means that humanity has not developed international institutions that could effectively influence the aggressor's long-term decision to continue a brutal war of aggression.

Russia's war against Ukraine is a classic colonial war in the center of Europe in the 21st century and has the goal, apart from some political aspects, of seizing Ukrainian territory that Russia had not previously claimed. After all, quite recently the Russian Federation signed a corresponding agreement with Ukraine on establishing common borders between these states without any reservations.

Society must unite and put hard pressure on the aggressor with all its might so that he renounces his intentions to resolve any issues by military means.

According to local authorities, the city of Volchansk is located only 4 km from the border with the Russian Federation. While on the map this distance can vary from 6 to 10 km depending on the direction.

Since the entire border territory of the Kharkov region was under constant fire from Russian troops, there was practically no first line of defense there.
According to the statement of the commander of the Ukrainian reconnaissance company fighting in this direction, Denis Yaroslavsky, the first line of defense near Volchansk allegedly “simply did not exist” and the Russians “went on foot” to this town without any resistance.
The second or third line of defense was 10-15-20 and even 30 km away from the border or front line, however, they were also under fire from the invaders, who destroyed construction equipment and the civilian builders themselves. Therefore, more than 30 types of various civil construction equipment were destroyed.

It is worth recognizing that despite the statements of the Ukrainian authorities, this territory was not prepared for defense, which explains the relatively quick takeover of this border theory by the Russians. However, after almost a month of Russian offensive, the occupiers cannot advance further than Volchansk. Moreover, a significant part of this town is still not only controlled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but also the occupiers are being pushed out of some of its neighborhoods. In general, the Russian offensive in the Kharkov region has been stopped, their idea has completely failed.
After the ban on the Ukrainian Armed Forces striking military targets on Russian territory with Western weapons was lifted, columns of Russian equipment are destroyed even before they cross the Ukrainian border.

Of course there is truth in what you describe. But an increase in national GDP is possible in some cases, especially if the country obtains arms purchase contracts from other countries. The most felt negative impact is for countries involved in war, while other countries actually benefit from the war.
Oil is a very important resource in the modern era, not only during times of conflict. Because all transportation uses oil, and we can calculate how many transportation there are currently in the world. However, war is a factor in fluctuations in world oil prices.

Apart from what you said, war will always exist as long as there are countries that are dissatisfied with the progress of other countries in the world. Because when war doesn't happen, of course it could be created so that weapons factories can operate in order to sell ammunition to those who need it even though they themselves know that the ending will not be good. But this is clearly not easy to avoid because there is a feeling of dissatisfaction and there is something that a country wants to control which in the end can lead to endless war.

Apparently, you are retarded. Ok, I will spoon-feed you one more time: next to every number or other important info in Wikipedia there's a small reference number, if you click on that number, you'll be able to see the source/reference. How cool is that?  I'm sure it's not easy for a troll like yourself to accept the fact that there's a valid source for every claim, but you could at least try. Anyway, you click on that reference and voila: these stats are from 2023! Not quite old, don't you think so? 

What is that website? It certainly doesn't look trustworthy... 

That's not "Putin said", that's "Ukrainian propaganda said"! 

In times of war in any society, the only thing that they will experience then will be lack of peace and harmony, and when there's no peace in a place, don't even think of progress in that particular place. And what is the essence of living without progress? It's meaningless.
  So war is nothing that one will hope or pray for. Because, during this period of war, many things happen that are detrimental to us physically, emotionally, financially and academically.
 Don't forget that war causes lost of many lives. It lead to the absence of closeness and physical interaction between the family and friends. It also lead to shut down of schools, markets and working place. And finally, it leads to lack of freedom of movement because it makes government to place curfew on citizens in the affected areas.

Apparently, the figures given in Wikipedia about the number of Russian Ground Forces are very outdated.

According to Russian sources, the Russian army in 2022 had the following number of military personnel:
- ground forces numbered about 800,000 people;
— approximately 100 thousand served in the aerospace forces;
- the fleet included about 150 thousand, that is, these three types of troops alone amounted to about 1,050,000 people.
In addition, the Russian Armed Forces also include the Strategic Missile Forces, Airborne Forces, and Special Operations Forces, which may also well take part in the war against Ukraine. The Russian National Guard and various PMCs are also fighting on the Ukrainian fronts. I have not yet found in open sources what the current number of ground forces in the Russian Federation is.

On September 25, 2022, a decree was signed to increase the number of military personnel to 2,039,758 “due to the tense geopolitical situation.”
https://pamyatpokoleniy.ru/news/tpost/4toaxkmhs1-chislennost-armii-rossii-na-2022

The commander of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, Lieutenant General Pavlyuk, stated that as of May 3, about 510-515 thousand Russian military personnel were stationed in Ukraine.

Putin said in December 2023 that there were 617,000 Russian military personnel in the “combat zone”—probably referring to all Russian military personnel deployed in the so-called zone. “special military operation” in the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, including the areas where Russian troops are based in border areas on Russian territory.

This is another lie, my little lying friend: Vovchansk is 10km away from the border. Between Vovchansk and the border there are many villages which had to be captured en route to Vovchansk, which also took some time. So, no, Russia hasn't been holding Vovchansk under siege since May 10.  

The total number of Russian Ground Forces is only 550,000 men.

So, if we try to take your BS seriously Ukraine has destroyed the Russian army completely. Which is of course laughable and simply not true.  

Bullshit, it won't change a shit, it will only spark more hate towards Ukraine (this Russian guy who is posting here confirmed this btw).

Bla bla bla... this pompous and retarded propaganda reminds me of this:

War is not something one should pray for, and even those that are experiencing it, i pray for it to end very quickly. Because when this happens in any organization, society or a country, it causes a lot of damages to them financially, emotionally, mode of living and even academically. there will be distabilizing in many aspect. Relatives will loose one another. The economy of the country will run down since there's no rest of mind anymore. And during the process, instead of focusing on how to build the country forward, the government will be focusing on how to settle  the crisis on the ground, which will in turn lead to down fall of the country's Economy. Is very sad to hear or seeing any country suffering in this kind of deadly situation.

It is difficult to avoid war, especially if a country has abundant natural resources and the level of national defense is weak, other countries which have great power will definitely attack a country which has great natural resources. As is happening in various countries today and in history.

I agree with your opinion, the impact on the global economy can damage and affect aspects of human life. War not only drains resources and takes lives, but also disrupts economic stability at large. War can disrupt global supply chains and international trade, resulting in inflation, reduced investment, and business losses. We must avoid war by conducting effective diplomacy and making peace to minimize the impact on the global economy. No one wants war.

The supply of any goods will stop when war occurs and the result will be a shortage. The increase in GDP was definitely reduced because the country was facing war and needed any resources for the process. Modern wars require oil to operate machines and without certain oils, certain weapons cannot be run so that certain countries will experience defeat.

Stocks are out of control because the country is busy dealing with war and the stock market will experience great pressure for instability. Even when Covid occurs, all sectors have an impact, even though this happens, it is not much bigger than war and we can imagine that when war occurs it will be much more dangerous.

There is truth and it really affects the increase in GDP, oil and the stock market because war can kill all important aspects and these three concepts require maturation in war conditions which are definitely very disturbed.

The Russian army has been continuously storming the Kharkov region from Volchansk since May 10. The invaders entered the border Volchansk in the first days, having previously destroyed the minefields with the help of artillery and corrective bombs. They entered, but never progressed further. But their losses increased sharply. In May, the irretrievable losses of Russians in Ukraine amount to about 38,000 soldiers (511,130 in total), 416 tanks, 868 armored vehicles, 9 aircraft, 1,116 artillery systems and other weapons. The Russians had armored vehicles left for at most another year of war, and even then, mostly equipment from the Second World War remained. In Russia, approximately 30 thousand people a month are drafted into war, and approximately the same amount is disposed of in Ukraine. Well, let's see how many more of them will agree to die for the imperial ambitions of the distraught old man Putin.

In connection with the emergence of a new front in the Kharkov region, an unequal situation arose when the Russians could attack from their territory, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine had a ban on the use of Western weapons on Russian territory. Therefore, 15 countries have already lifted this restriction. The Russians will soon fully see what war is when many times more flames blaze on their territory. This will surely make them change their attitude towards her.

And don’t worry about the Ukrainian army. There is a bullet for each occupier, as well as for the one who will fire it. If you think this attack on Ukraine is worth it, welcome to hell.
