The west fighting with itself while entertaining ambitions of taking on the BRICS will never stop being hilarious.

It's truly remarkable how some people, ensconced in their pretentious self-importance, feel the need to publicly announce what instances they are going to engage with. Nobody cares Vitaly, you're not the main character. 🤣

 

Turns out the Bank of England doesn't have the gold it's supposed to have. The lid was blown off because wait times for withdrawals went from a day to 8 weeks. Supposedly, majority of it has been shipped to New York as FT reports. However, the math here doesn't add up. 393 metric tonnes was sent to New York, but The Bank of England is supposed to have over 5,000 tonnes. What was sent is less than 10% of the total reserves. So where's the rest of the gold?

Either the Bank of England is lying about their reserves or the amount that was sent to New York.

The Silo is a fun show, the book series it's based on is really good too.

learning US history is quite a trip

Because you're a debate bro who wastes other people's time arguing about subjects you have no clue about. If you want people to take you seriously spend a bit time educating yourself instead of speaking out of ignorance.

that’s wrong, I belive that I have more freedom in (unregulated) capitalism that’s not state backed, than in a one party system without democratic principles

Yet, you do not believe in effective ways of organizing and actually challenging the system. So, really you believe in perpetuating the system while paying lip service to the idea of change.

that’s not true, I want others to be as free as I am

You clearly don't since you reject practical methods that have been proven that free people from capitalism.

you’re literally making this up, I sayed that western germany was ALMOST as economicaly strong as the entire ussr, which is true

It's not true, and never has been true in any meaningful sense.

this says something completely different

and yet https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/10/politics/russia-artillery-shell-production-us-europe-ukraine/index.html

that statement itself wouldn’t be true if the russian economy was growing and they were exporting their war assets, but the opposite is the case, they produce the war assets to burn them on the battlefield and their economy also isn’t looking good

Meanwhile in the real world, Russian economy is booming, and the World Bank just reclassified Russia as a high income country https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/opendata/world-bank-country-classifications-by-income-level-for-2024-2025

The IMF forecasts that Russian economy is set to grow faster than all the western economies https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/17/russia-forecast-to-grow-faster-than-advanced-economies-in-2024-imf.html

Thanks for providing further evidence of you being utterly divorced from reality.

Sadly it took three years of a horrific war for the west to start realizing this.

I remember people calling me an idiot and a Russian shill for saying this would happen only months ago 🤣
