  1. Ideally, they don’t get to have an economy. At all. If there is a way to further ruin their capacity for wars of conquest, something other countries can do to poison any well they want to drink from, doing so is a moral obligation.

    If they are cutting defense spending *at all* it means they have no other choice.

  2. Whoopsie. Guess they should’ve finished that two-weeks in-n-out military operation a bit quicker.

  3. “Tough times ahead for Russian economy, CEO of Russia’s largest bank warns” And, in other news: “CEO of Russia’s largest bank ~~jumps~~ fell out the window of his 75th floor office.”

  4. I’m just glad most of their tanks, bmps, and military vehicles got wrecked. In CD they anticipate it will take Russia 5 years after the war ends to rebuild their forces back to pre 2022 levels. That means Europe has some time to prepare if Moscow decides to invade its other neighbors.

  5. Don’t start wars you can’t afford to finish. And cut back on take out coffee and food. You have food at home. Get a second job Russia.

  6. Sucks to suck.

    Maybe the “special operation” going on 3 years resulting in 1 million+ Russian casualties and billions in damage due to sanctions wasn’t a great idea and the guy who launched it should face consequences.

  7. Have they tried cutting out their Disney+ membership?

  8. Tough times ahead? You’re already there. It just only get worse from this point on.

  9. They are trying to tell Putin GENTLY that they are fucked – but not too aggressively as to not fall out a window.

  10. They usually do this when they are preparing Russians for bad news. I wonder if it’s going to stop at “recession habbening” or if it’s a prelude to another round of mobilization, or an ignonimous end to the “SMO”

  11. And then it got worse…

    C’mon guys, speed run the change in leadership part. You can blame all the bad stuff on Putin and reverse course.

  15. I will live to see the day Russia collapses, I am going to get so fucking drunk 🥱

  16. People are again failing to understand Russia and Putin; this is not a war in which Russia will just give up and go home like Afghanistan in 20 years. Putin will not leave Ukraine 🇺🇦, unless it is in a pine box.

  17. It would have ti be terrible allready if they are openly talking about it

  19. Russia will fall due to economics of lost war. They have no overall dominating ideology to bring people together; it is no longer the USSR of 1960-80. Putin’s efforts to create a monster enemy from the West have not materialized. The only force he has is the police and courts. The army is exhausted and demoralized.

  21. Tough times in Russia is what we in the West would call total chaos with riots in all cities. Russians are used to tough times. They will need near starvation to riot. But it’s near that point. The country is falling apart piece by piece.

  22. I guess he should stay away from windows for some time…

  23. Zelensky needs to take Xi out for beers.. and drop a few hints, like

    “The whole right-hand size of Russia is floating in oil, and it is looking for new tenants.”

    … hell, NATO will even pick up the bill.. your welcome!

  24. Putin’s mates will buy the bankrupt companies and make themselves even richer 🤷🏻‍♂️

  26. You mean the already destroyed Russian economy? 50 years to recover

  27. Not if Trump has anything to say about it, pretty soon he’ll be cutting stimulus checks to Russians instead of Americans.

  29. Putler fkd up with Ukraine. Im just happy that Ukr is so great at showing whole world how much of a pile russ are. Ukr humiliated them in all possible ways….sadly at so huge cost for people of Ukraine.

  32. “Russia claimed it had the 2nd-best military in the world, but now many see Russia’s military as the 2nd-strongest in Ukraine”.

  33. I’m not holding my breath. They’ve been on the brink of collapse, allegedly, for several years now. It’s all hopium until their sand castle comes toppling down.

  34. All future humanitarian aid to Russia must be conditioned on them giving up nuclear weapons and reducing army to minimum
