3. Nuclear reactors: laughable, only $12.8 million in 2021, or 0.0025% of Russian exports. Do you even know what a nuclear reactor is? This doesn't even pay for the boots of Putin's personal guards (Служба безопасности президента).

 

Interesting that you chose 2021, and only 2021.

 

Despite sanctions, Russian companies are building more than a third of the new reactors around the world, which is gaining Moscow new friends

Russia sold about $1.7 billion in nuclear products to firms in the U.S. and Europe, according to trade data and experts.

Russia was the largest player, with almost 40 percent of the total uranium conversion infrastructure in the world, and therefore produced the largest share of uranium in gaseous form (called uranium hexafluoride).

Russia exported over $1 billion worth of nuclear energy-related products from February 2022-2024.

The beauty of the situation is that all "debts" were signed by the man, who is and was not an el'Presidente while signing. So they will have to do "Karifakis trick" - write it off

Most of UA leaders signed some I.O.U. and just wai away.

Do you know what was their incidence on Russia's total export? No idea, genius?

 

 

Don't particularly care, you went to the link and you copied/pasted the data.  Although..........what was their incidence on world total nukular reactor export?

 

Still don't particularly care.  Doesn't matter either.

 

No amount of posting Russiaphobic comments will change the fact that Russia is doing just fine economically and militarily.

 

Just another case of Harris compensation, the posting of multiple threads claiming Harris is winning and Trump is going to jail.

 

Same as the folks that have been ranting for decades that China is imploding, and posting links to Falun Gong propaganda videos as "proof."

Okay, you've convinced me!

 

Putin has lost 17 gorillion troops, their evil empire is about to collapse, the pheasants are revolting, and Steiner is storming the gates of Stalingrad as we speak.

 

So, umm....Ukraine is winning, i guess.

Sure, if that makes you sleep better.

1,21% of Russian 2022 Exports

 

so small to be included in an "others" category 

 

2.30% of Russian 2022 Exports

 

Are you replying to someone claiming the proportion of world production of something with what percentage those things make up of Russia's total exports?

 

I don't see how this rebuts the point you are arguing against.

Due to the small volume it is insignificant how big of an exporter they are in a percentage of exports for that product.

 

Sorry, but I don't really understand what you are saying.  My point was that one person said that Russia is number one in the world in the export of three products.  Someone else replied, appearing to argue against this fact, but presenting the percentage those exports that made up Russia's total exports.  My point was that I don't see any relevance of the percentage of total exports within that country, when arguing against the percentage of exports in the world. 

 

The two don't directly relate.  A country could export something at a very small percentage of their county's total exports, while still being a large percentage of the world total exports of that thing.

 

E.g. a country could be the sole exporter of a product which only counts for 1% of their total exports, while still being 100% of total world exports.

Seems there is a correlation between posters saying Russia is on the verge of extinction and posters claiming Harris was a winner.

 

They lost on Harris and now they are going to lose on Russia. I wonder what their next loser prospect will be to support- MMCC perhaps?

Russia could have been a great country with it's resources and high level of education. But all was thrown away by Communism and allowing the country to be run by gangsters. China will suffer the same fate.

????????

It went communist ( Marxist in 1917, long before any of us on here were alive and has been a ( proclaimed ) communist nation ever since. So, just when did communism throw away the high level of education? Before the revolution when most were peasants, perhaps?

You simply misunderstood Heryford's sentence. 

 

The meaning of the sentence is this: "Russia could have been a great country with its resources and a high level of education." But communism threw away this opportunity due to the failed management of the economy.

 

There are also other reasons why in 1991 the Soviet Union crashed down: the Afghan people and low oil prices made a significant contribution to the demise of the Soviet Union. But the economic missmanagement and the endemic corruption of the apparatchik (Rus: аппара́тчик) were the root causes of the Soviet Union collapse.
