The Demolition of Russia's Economy

Where do I support Russia? Not one bit. I support the truth and facts. Not emotional outcries by social justice warriors who make zero personal sacrifices for the cause they seemingly support so much.

And I did not complain about courts. The opposite. I am strongly against any government decision that infringes on individuals freedom and their personal property unless it has been proven in court that they should be stripped of the same. How would you like it if your property was taken from you because of an emotional tantrum thrown by some government crony? Would you not want your case to be heard in a court of law? But whom am I preaching to. The US, the same country that locked up innocent American citizens of Japanese origin and their children for years during the pacific war. Or tortured in violation of the UN human rights in Guantanamo. Or dropped chemical weapons in Vietnam and Cambodia. Only democratic rights when it serves the "right kind of people" otherwise our highly emotional and butthurt American friends go all nuclear on everyone else even without proving any wrongdoing and without the slightest regard to basic human rights the US promised to uphold.

But this thread is not about US at all, is anyone here supporting Gitmo or US's human rights record? Why bring it up at all while pretending that Russia didn't completely fucked up their botched invasion.

Russian Oil And Gas Project Misses Output Targets After Exxon Exit
By Josh Owens - Feb 28, 2023, 11:30 AM CST

Russian oil and gas output at the Sakhalin-1 project in the Far East is only half of what it was projected to be for 2022 after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine set off a series of Western sanctions that led to the departure of ExxonMobil. In a televised meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Sakhalin governor Valery Limarenko said production was less than 50% of that planned, Reuters reported. "First, in May, oil production was practically stopped, and in September, it was gas production. We lost a large amount, more than half, of the annual plan," Limarenko was quoted as saying. September last year saw oil production of around 84,000 barrels per day, which is less than half the figure projected. The governor further clarified that the regional budget would lose an estimated $664 million due to the lower production levels, noting that two-thirds of the regional budget comes from oil and gas taxes. “We will somehow get out, but this problem really exists," Limarenko told Putin, as reported by Reuters. The televised lamentation was likely intended to draw further attention to Moscow’s attempts to leverage political capital related to Exxon’s withdrawal from the project. Russia’s General Prosecutor’s Office is attempting to wrangle some $220 million in unpaid taxes from Exxon. In April 2022, Exxon declared force majeure on the Sakhalin-1 project due to Western sanctions against Moscow. Before the war in Ukraine, the project exported some 273,000 barrels daily of Sokol crude, with the main destination for the shipments being South Korea. Sakhalin-1 crude was also shipped to Japan, Australia, Thailand, and the United States.In early January this year, Russia claimed that it had ramped up production at Sakhalin-1, expecting the field to start pumping 220,000 bpd soon, up from 150,000 bpd at the time.

Your point? That life in Russia is not as enjoyable as life in the US or Canada? I can probably wholeheartedly agree with you on this. But the tirades and meltdowns of everyone who disagrees on opinions here in the west are equally concerning if they were not so fun to watch.

Look at the woke meltdown surrounding Dilbert. Nobody on the left even dares to go into detail on the Rasmussen poll. You know that one and only polling organization that correctly predicted the 2020 election.

In Mother Russia, you go to prison for having different opinions that Dear Leader doesn't like.
 
It's the exact exchange rate that India and China and dozens of countries pay every day to purchase their gas and oil and arms from Russia.

My point is that none of the 340 million Americans and tax payers have been asked whether they would like to pour another 120 billion usd into Ukraine and to enter into yet another war, just so that the 1% who run American arms manufacturing can enrich themselves further. And 120 billion are just the start.

Lies. Your liberal tabloid paper even contradicts you

Unfortunately, you don't seem to be aware that well over 95% of polling organizations correctly predicted the 2020 U.S. Presidential election results in regards to the winner. The only polls to incorrectly predict the 2020 results appear to be Suffolk, Emerson, and Rasmussen.
