Olafisoyem:Now my questions are this, do you drive? Are you living without flat mates? Do you have kids? Is your place an apartment or house? Those questions determines your bills. Russia import anything according to who? EU still export to Russia bro. Germany government have spend almost 13B within 3 weeks of high cost oil and gas. Irish government said it can’t continue the fuel subsidy beyond April ending as they have spent close to €500M in just 2 weeks. Protect in Spain and Italy. Gas and electricity bills has went up over 70% Everyone is getting hit that Japan has even refused to pulled out of oil and gas deal with Russia, as they know that doing that will make them do lose completions to India and China |

1stGenAmerican: Contrary to what you wanted to believe, Russia has the immense capability to cut of the three Baltic states from the rest of Europe. They said it themselves. "While an imminent attack on the Baltics seems unlikely, the three countries worry about Russia’s ability to cut them off from the rest of Europe via the Suwalki gap, the narrow 65km Polish-Lithuanian border, seen as one of Nato’s most vulnerable points. To the west lies the heavily weaponised Russian exclave of Kaliningrad; to the east is Belarus." See the map below. https://www.ft.com/content/38b1906f-4302-4a09-b304-dc2ecf5dc771

Appleyard:It's also "obvious" that the world is flat, but that doesn't make either claim true. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/04/russias-economy-is-beginning-to-crack-as-economists-forecast-sharp-contractions.html Goldman Sachs has forecast a 10% contraction in Russian GDP this year, while the Institute for International Finance think tank has projected a more damaging 15% plunge. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/23/were-going-back-to-a-ussr-long-queues-return-for-russian-shoppers-as-sanctions-bite After an hour and a half queuing for sugar, or worse still fighting for it in a market, Russians are feeling the effect of shortages caused by an unprecedented cutoff from the world https://www.itv.com/news/2022-04-04/russians-face-shortages-of-vital-medication-after-ukraine-invasion Russians are struggling to get hold of vital medication, including types of insulin, drugs to treat thyroid issues, anti-depressants and blood thinners after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, according to reports. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10680353/Russians-face-24-inflation-Western-sanctions-trigger-deepest-recession-fall-USSR.html Russian families face 24% inflation hike as tough Western sanctions are set to plunge the country into its deepest recession since the collapse of the Soviet Union Do please feel free to pull the usual Putin-apologist move of dismissing all of the reports above as "fake news" or "western propaganda", while insisting that the likes of Sputnik News, Russia Today and Xinhua represent the epitome of objective journalism ... 1 Like |

Appleyard: It has already! There's report of panic buying of goods which indicates artificial shortages caused by the sanctions. In today's times, you can only deliver prosperity through only international trade. Do you think the machine parts or automobile parts of cars or machines can easily be replicated? The supply chain has been sabotaged by the sanctions. Most foreign shippers are no longer landing at Russian ports. Russia now has more sanctions than even Iran. Read the article below.

RichMelanin: Instead of wondering idly where i got it from a simple goggle check would have shown you that as of February, Germany has halted its construction of multi-billion pipeline across the Nord sea to Russia. Now let's assume that pipeline is to bring zobo from Russia down to Berlin are yu telling me that you have never heard of any other European or EuroAsian nation producing and exporting oil and gas except your darling Russia? You mean to tell me you have never heard of Canada, Norway, Romania producing and exporting huge amouths of oil and gas? Most people outside Europe don't even know the Ukarine and Poland produce oil and gas but goggle is your friend unless you don't trust her.
Shushhhh... let me tell you an open secret. The US has the larges oil and gas reserves in the world.... big than Russia and Saudi Arabia The catch is production of oil leads to environmental polution and that is what the US, with it's many cities, arbores. It would rather import oil than produce it. Russia and Saudi Arabia, iran on the other hand don't care especially given that the majority of their oil are mined out in wastelands like deserts. Hence, when you look at the list of oil producers you see countries like Saudi Arabia and Russia ranking higher than the US. ![]() ![]() ![]()
China, India, Hungary are non oil producers with high populations. They are connected to Russia via pipelines reaching across the border. Germany, which has the largest population in Europe was constructing a pipeline to Russia too for cheap oil, but has stopped. It still has a contract with Russia that runs for a year but is already in talks with Norway for oil and gas. How would Russia survive the sanctions for a year? May be their oil and gas lasts forever so Europe need not look elsewhere till eternity. Any deal with Iran is death? My guy, Iran has the capacity to match Russia's output and in the face of Russia's behavior and the sanctions, the west is trying to make a soft landing for Iran so that it can be free to replace Russia on the oil market. Russia knows an is blocking such a peace deal. I say wait an see.
The relationship between Russia and the west will never be the same again. Russia shot itself in the foot. 1 Like |

plaindealer: My brother please tell them. The west will weather the initial shock and are now recalibrating so they are not dependent on other countries for survival. Russia in the meantime is really going to have it tough for a long time. The west always play the long game. Putin really overplayed his hand and now with the fiasco in Ukraine he is simply demystified. No more respect for Putin. Even small countries like Poland etc don close border dey show am vex. The Russian people will be forced to wake up finally. We are seeing the last throes of this dictator.

Appleyard: Valid point but right now Russia will have to use it's military to we ard of any geopolitical realignment l. Coz they are not looking good anymore. NATO is well aware of Kaliningrad and are poised to setup defence systems. I just dont up nderstand why Putin has made himself and Russia so vulnerable |

Babinski: I pointed out Belarus because you omitted it. Besides, Belarus shares border with Ukraine. That aside, there are many border fronts linking Russia to Europe, the three Baltic states aside. It takes just 11hrs to drive from Saint Petersburg to Finland. 29hrs to drive from Russia to Sweden. |

emmaodet: Oga Emma, stop listening to mainstream media, or at least, read other sources, not just western one. All what you wrote is not true, and I know because I belong to a telegram page in Russian, where citizens of Ukraine and the soldiers themselves fighting in Ukraine are posting live updates about the situations. Also, follow CGTN and Shanghai eye on YouTube, to get a balances view. Why do you think YouTube blocked RT (Russian today) channels to be broadcasted ? Its simply because they do not want you to hear the other perspective that will disprove their points. Listen to other channels and decide yourself. 4 Likes |

pansophist: Okay bro. I follow up on quora. With all these propagandas up and down, only God knows how many bullshits have we been fed all these years about a lot of things. I am beginning to doubt the isrealis powers in the middle east self because i have my reserve about them. How they have been single handedly beating the surrounding arab countries regularly even when they attack them at the same time from different angles. Also, this war has exposed one thing to me. The west hate to rely on others but want other countries to rely HEAVILY on them so that the can always screw them anytime they want. Since the outbreak of this war, the west (US, EU/NATO) have all been scrambling up and down drastically looking for other options to wean themselves off russia like other arab countries selling to them in the short term and electric cars in the long term so that russia and others in general won't be able to influence their own decision making YET want everyone to be using the dollars, euros and britain pound for international trade so that they can be influencing our own decision making and any president that wants to take action to wean his country away from west influence will find his country heavily destroyed.

pansophist: Shanghai-eye is a big source of propaganda and their stories usually fail fact-checks. RT was blocked because it’s Russian state-controlled and spreads propaganda and falsehoods. You can still access it through platforms that welcome false and misleading content. State controlled means that the Russian government controls the content. March 3 (Reuters) - Russian state-controlled news network RT said on Thursday it will begin broadcasting on Rumble, a YouTube-like video site, after tech companies including Meta Platforms (FB.O) and Twitter (TWTR.N) have restricted access to RT following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Tech companies in recent days have moved to restrict Russian state-controlled media including RT and Sputnik in response to requests from governments and calls to prevent the spread of Russia propaganda. Russia has called its actions in Ukraine a "special operation." Streaming media company Roku (ROKU.O)has removed the app for RT from its Roku Channel Store globally, a spokesperson said. Facebook owner Meta said on Tuesday it was globally demoting content from Russian state-controlled media outlets' Facebook pages and Instagram accounts. read more |
