Vladimir Putin facing economic disaster as Kremlin braces for 'three-digit' hyperinflation

[3NUMBAS]

However, unofficially, there are claims that the real rate is closer to an eye-watering 40%, leaving some to worry that the dark spectre of hyperinflation is back.

You made that up in your head. I know no one that thinks Ukraine is winning. Everybody agrees its a stalemate. 

 

Going back to the topic - if Trump floods Europe with American energy, that will cause serious damage to the Russian economy. 

 

However, I think the war will be over before that energy surge arrives. 

By “everybody” I’m assuming you mean the pro-Ukrainian faction. A stalemate means neither side is gaining any ground. However even a poster on here that is fighting over there concedes that Ukraine is losing ground, slowly but surely. And if you watch news from sources other than western msm, you will also realise that Russia is gaining more ground towards Dnipropetrovsk. But believe whatever you like.

Yes, on the battlefield it's stalemate, meanwhile Russia is losing thousands of troops a week still to the meatgrinder, while gaining little land and Ukraine is slowly destroying infrastructure and moral inside Russia on a daily basis.

 

Russia will never win anything out of this conflict now, too late

 

 

Yes, western msm reports that Russia is losing thousands of troops a week. Sounds like you believe those reports. In case you’re interested, I have a bridge for sale…

I don't claim Ukraine is winning, but russia is not winning either.

But I do want Ukraine to provale 

It's 3 years of stalemate that russia did not plan for.

And russia has been throwing everything at this and still can't succeed, so much winning for them

 

Where Ukraine is doing well is a hybridized guerrilla warfare only with drones, slowly picking away at russia's oil infrastructure, manufacturing, weapons stores, etc.

 

As regards WW2 and any war, it's the final outcome not the early innings that count.

How'd that work out for the UK?

Speaking of Britain and WW2, something that not many western people know, having been only taught that the UK and America won the war, is that Russia also won the war, by bleeding the German military to a weakling. Even so, in the Battle of the Bulge, Hitler almost prevailed against the Americans.

The Germans had the best military in the world, but the allies secret weapon snatched defeat from the jaws of victory- Hitler's wrong decisions made Germany lose.

The back story to WW2 is fascinating- without Mitchell the Battle of Britain would have been lost, and without Tommy Flowers the U boats would not have been defeated, and without Churchill, Britain would likely have capitulated, and without Stalin Russia would have lost. So IMO just 4 men saved us from the Nazis. Is that just luck, or divine intervention?

Strange stalemate when Russia is advancing. I always thought a stalemate was when neither side was winning, but I guess it's meaning has changed for the Ukraine war.

On that I can agree with you. Eventually Zelensky will go cap in hand to try and salvage something from the rubble ( or he'll run off to enjoy his loot and someone else will get to do that ).

And the repercussions will be felt for decades to come - the Russian youth, desperately needed to propel the nation's industrial base forward against an increasingly more capable world, is being lost. While the rest of the world continues to grow and develop and innovate, Russia persists in continuing this slow motion seppuku.

Russian youth is already lost. The population is forecast to drop by 22 million in the next 25 years.

For those aware of what AI robotics is going to do that is a good thing ( less to be unemployed ) and will make no difference industrial wise.

It's stupid western countries inviting more in by the thousands that are going to have major societal problems from unemployment. IMO.
