1. Lot of hate for the previous The Bell link I sent around on rich Russians having to repatriate money back to Russia. This may find kinder responses.

2. Defense ministers looking up some new yatchts to buy

3. While their GDP falls and falls

4. I don’t think people are paying enough attention to Russia’s economy. That is the weak spot, that is where Russia is most likely to break.

5. What is it now, 40% is direct or indirect going to the war efforts? It seems there really is an upper limit to how much this can grow. And with the economy of Russia shrinking fast, this will shrink in absolute numbers.

6. Keynes *Rubs face* meme
