Reading this after watching a video about how the Russian economy is humming along instead of collapsing makes me think there's a class of people informing Biden that are idiots. Sanctions diplomacy once again accomplishes barely anything. I can't believe people are getting paid for such shitty advice.
Source?
It's a YouTuber, Reallifelore, Why Russia Isn't Actually Collapsing. He mentions Russia is running a big deficit, but that's not the economic collapse that was predicted.
"humming along" is very different from "not collapsing".
It's running and stable enough to avoid a collapse. It's not even close to a collapse. That's the situation.
