Most of the stuff they're 'producing' at the moment is renovated and at best slightly upgraded soviet era crap. What are they gonna do with that industry after the war? Who are they even going to sell to? India's (Russia's historical biggest customer for military equipment) is already buying Western equipment en masse because Russia keeps cancelling or postponing the delivery of Indian orders such as with the S-400. I don't think India's going to be interested in renovated T-55 tanks. China (second biggest) was already surpassing Russia in every way with domestic productions and now with sanctions in place there's literally nothing the Chinese could buy from Russia they can't produce themselves. Russia's entire modus operandi was getting foreign orders to help fund R&D and achieve economy of scale (getting price per unit down) so who's going to fund the Russian defense industry post-war? Nobody, so expect a massive collapse of that industry. Russians gonna have to foot the bill for those seized Indian orders as well, because India's gonna want their T-90 tanks and S-400 systems they paid for and which Russia seized in order to use in Ukraine due to shortages and I don't think they're going to accept used stuff.

      @@mitrogulf4073 so you think russia needs sanctions to know which parts of it's own market are vulnerable? They are vulnerable, not because "nobody knew about them", they are vulnerable because Russia is dependant on western or taiwanese / japanese chips to build anything, and it takes years of domestic research and hard work and money, money money to have your own domestic high tech markets. Russia simply imports those good through third countries which adds an additional cost for Russia.
      The conflict with Georgia is not a fairy tale, go to the enclaves of South Ossetia and Abkhasia. It's the same story again, Russian soldiers enter in 2008, and set up these fake countries no one recognizes. Just like with DNR and LNR. Fairy tales is what you are saying. And you claim about "historical lands" is just sickening. Think about it, what would happen if every country in Europe started behaving like Russia and "reclaiming" some stupid lands. Millions of people would die AGAIN. Because if you believe that you have any right to cross the border of a country and start shooting people and "reclaim" your country's land, you are a mentally disabled person, and you should be locked in an asylum. Before the full scale war in 2022 people in Mariupol, Berdiansk and Energodar were living normally. There are videos from that time. No protests, no fighting. There were nice plays in the Mariupol children's theatre. And then the Russians came and all those cities look like out of a ww2 movie set right now. If the Russians claim that they were "liberating" then why did they bomb those cities so much. Why did they arrive with guns to places that they were not welcome to?
      Look at Germany and Austria. They can have separate countries and everyone lives normally. The fact that someone speaks Russian doesn't mean that they have to be slaves of Moscow.
      In your profile you have the prussian eagle if I am not mistaken. Do you also believe that Germany should "reclaim" Kaliningrad and Polish Warmia - Masuria territories? Would you happily see the German army march into Poland and kill everyone to "reclaim and resettle" those "ancestral lands"? Cmon, admit it. You are a Nazi scum. Nothing less. Because only Nazis support Russia, they would want all Europeans to be killed in countless wars, instead of enjoy the peace and stability that the EU offers us. Go to hell.

    You miss the point of sanctions if you think it's meant to crash the economy of a country the size of Russia, they have resources and industry of their own. The purpose of these sanctions is to increase costs, limit special materials needed for certain technologies, and to put Russia into debt. Russia's GDP is going straight into the meatgrinder, which hey, it shores up your warmaking ability sure, but it drains every other sector out there.
    Countries that go onto total economic war footings will obviously see a big boost in GDP, but GDP doesn't pay off debts. Ask the British Empire during the 1st World War, or Germany during the 2nd, the Roman Republic... There will be jobs, will be money borrowed and spent, and there will be a drive in production. But what happens to them after the war? Ask the British Empire... or the Nazi's... the Romans. Huge deficit spending, inflation, and reorienting the Russian economy is going to absolutely wreck the already massively underperforming Russian economy not long after some cessation of hostilities.

    They're just printing money to fund it. There are more people employed fighting the war and all of the new civilian jobs associated with keeping the war machine running. The thing is that they aren't actually getting anything out of the war that comes anywhere near what it is costing them. So they are printing and borrowing money. They've completely restructured their economy around the war efforts, it may be seemingly working for them now but a countries economy has to adapt and remain competitive with other countries' economies or it will be left behind. A centrally managed one is always prone to becoming out-moded compared to ones that are not. Think of all those economists and oil executives in Russia who have "fallen" out of sky scraper windows: those were the reasonable people. Eventually a wheel will fall off and a catastrophic failure will follow immediately after.

    Such a clueless misleading article. "Growth of gdp" does not mean "russia is getting rich". It's like saying when you get fever your activity increases, you run to the medic, to the pharmacy etc. It doesn't mean it's good. Higher inflation means is getting poorer. And nope there is no "incresed trade" by any stretch of immagination.

      Can't your mind cope with the truth 😂 the western sanctions helped Russia become a high income country. Imagine how embarrassing for the west 😂 everything they do backfire and fails 😂
