Vladimir Putin, you in danger, girl.

He really does look like a Russian version of Trump now, or vice versa. Beady eyed short fingered vulgarian.

Bye, bye Puti

Been hearing this for a long time. Where’s the beef?

^ Not at long gone McDonald's, Russia's only 5-star restaurant for the peasants

I'm hoping the illness rumours are true.

Piece of Russian shit.

r5, are the rumours of a terminal illness? Say, hepatocellular carcinoma from too much vodka and more liver damage from green potatoes?

The war in Ukraine must come to an end, one way or another.

Of course, OP. Just like China's economy has been collapsing for years, Iran is on the verge of a pro-Western revolution, North Koreans are starving and desperate to live like South Koreans, Cubans are still being victimized by Castro and Venezuela before Obama's and Trump's sanctions was hell on earth.

American media should just keep telling all these things to itself and maybe, just maybe, they will become true.

Oh, and before anyone starts: yes, I am a Russian/Chinese/Iranian bot, a fat femme tranny who is poor, old and ugly and the usual battery of ridiculous insults.

No, you're a tankie, comrade.

You're just a cunt fill of ad hominems and finger-wagging yourself, r9. The article was about interest rates.

I hope Ukraine enjoys the $1.5 BILLION in frozen Russian assets the EU gave them yesterday.

Do you realize that the EU has just committed economic suicide by doing that, R11? Everyone is going to retire their investments from the EU and no money is going in ever again, since investors know that the European market is not safe and their assets can be stolen for arbitrary reasons. And if the US has avoided this is because they're using the EU as their proxy to engage in financial crimes - yes, this is called theft.

In the West we're hastening our collapse through the most desperate measures imaginable: sanctions that have brought about de-dollarization and the consolidation of the ever-expanding BRICS, soaring inflation and energy prices, accelerated de-industrialization and financial instability and uncontrolled immigration caused by food shortages in the Developing World, resulting from the war in Ukraine. But oh, we're "hurting" Russia so badly... Even the IMF admits that its economy is growing faster than that of almost every other country on earth.

You lost me at arbitrary.

BRICS r12?

r12 = MARY! Don't you have some Bitcoin to shill or something?

@r12, Yeah, no, just you Russians the rest of us are doing fine 🙂

I see Our Lady of the Favelas, Glenn Greenwald, is back on Datalounge.

Suddenly, more Russian businessmen strangely fall out of windows.

Putin and Trump will live to be at least 100. Evil monsters live long lives. I think their hatred fuels them.

Wasn't he supposed to be terminally ill and dead by now?

And then park their money….where, exactly R12?

Saudi Arabia? Nigeria? Latin America? Southeast Asia?

Oh and everyone knows the only reason Russia’s economy is “growing” is because they’re spending more than a third of the national budget producing arms for their disastrous war against Ukraine. And everything produced is getting destroyed along with the workforce needed to produce more and keep the country’s infrastructure from collapsing.

"infrastructure"

Also BRICS, another fucking joke.

Thanks R25!

R9, so are you saying the terrible news about you we've been hoping for isn't going to happen right away?

Well, all good things are worth waiting for.

Calling people idiots because you imagine they will call you names tells your future.

Thanx for the ecksplanation (heh) r23.

[quote]One of the top managers of the Moscow Stock Exchange, Georgi Chibisov, died after falling from a yacht into the Moscow River.

[quote]His body was not found for more than a day - after a police report was filed.

Didn't some North Korean drown in the river a couple weeks ago? Wet Boy Summer

Wet Ass Trader (WAT), coming to a Russian top-40 station soon!

Iran and Venezuela are in fact on the verge of revolution.

No vodka with Krokodil chaser for you tonight, R9.

And Venezuela, which the US news seems oddly uninterested in.

Russian "business elites" only serve at the pleasure of the sovereign.

If Vlad doesn't want you to be rich or powerful anymore, you aren't rich or powerful anymore.

These so-called business elites only made and make money due to the government having awarded them the ability to operate in their various markets in the first place.

Rick Wilson has said that if Trump loses in November Putin will be dead within a week.

I tend to believe that.
