-you posted beautiful graphics without understanding what is on them? I will tell you. The price of gas is twice what it was a year ago. As a result, Europe spent a lot of money on energy resources, and Ukraine got the crumbs from the table. If sanctions had not been imposed and there had been no increase in prices for resources, then Europe would have had much more money to help Ukraine. And in Russia there is less money for wars, since the citizens of Russia would spend more on buying abroad.
Russian people buy less things in shop, if they were to buy things from abroad Russia would get taxes on it, twice, once one import then on tax on shops, less retail sales is just people living worse, not buying car or clothes for the wealthiest ,and trying to reduce the food bill for the poorest.
And it is consistent since the beginning of the war.
The Russian stock exchange losing half its value and not recovering, means that for the people who had some money, a lot or a little, invested into it for their future, they lost 50% of their savings. So if if they managed to save a little and it took 20 years of hard work, it is reduced to half.
and with only the crumbs from the table Ukraine managed to prevent Russia from entering Kiyv ,and protected Karkhiv, and reclaimed Kherson ? as you predicted yet you still think sanctions have positive effect on Russia ? i don't think this is consistent, if the effect of the sanctions where positive then why would Russia retreat from Kherson and start mobilizing conscript ? And why would russian leader be so mad about them ? i thought he would have adressed his thank you, but maybe that is all a ruse again ?

Given that my gas bill is now 340 euros instead of 76 euros a year earlier, everything is fine in Russia with money, don't worry.
Good news pal, the gas bill will be lower soon, you update twice a year i remember you told me.
It was not true that everything is fine in Russia with money back then, but that should just be even more obvious as your only argument was the gas price. That was not counting the almost complete stop ( 96%) of car manufacturing, and trains , wagons, trucks and so on.

-I can't argue with an election expert like you. Of course, the 49-51% victory in the elections is a good argument for the right decisions and the support of citizens.
That's pretty much the same score as the election before it,and the one before it too. That's kind of an important news so most people in the concerned state knows about it, no need to be an expert, you can have your opinion even if you are not one in those democratic state you mentionned, it nonetheless help to be informed. You said it was "clear" for 3 country, including one where the result are similar as the other year, one where the newly elected leader said its internationnal politic wouldn't change with previous government from opposite spectrum, and one country who re-elected the same president. Clearly you can't argue because for that you need an argument. You received a memo about topic that should have been buried i think, like you posted the wrong comments, those prepared in case the result of the election was different and you posted them several month too late. A "clear" change is when you see only 20% of Finns thought it would be a good thing to join NATO before the invasion attempt, to 80% during the invasion attempt. Even vladimir putin didn't score that high in the election.

Thanks for reminding me of my posts. All the same: NO support for the Ukrainian Nazi corrupt government, YES support for the Ukrainian people.
You're welcome, i think it may also help the other people that wouldn't want to read all your 800+ post only on this thread to get a general idea of what contradictions you already expressed, alongside modifying your rethoric in near perfect synchronization with the new public adress of the officials in Russia, all in a forum for video games during war time.
you tried to avoid many points , for example why do you think Russia will buy chips from friend countries now and not during the 8 years it prepared its war ?
do yo think as putin launched the special operation on his own he can also end it on his own by recalling soldier home ?
do you think the mobilization of conscript, loss of flag ship, retread from kherson, NATO growing , damage on kerch bridge were part of the planned outcome of special operation and if so why ?
Those are the topics you mentionned but didn't develop, and i thought it would be interesting to ask some more questions of my own to an expert on russian politics and general world affair :
isn't that forbidden to call conscript for a special operation in Russia ?
