No meme bullshit. We know USA is corrupt under the veil. No virtue bs here.
I Putin based or what? He’s pulled russia out of third world status, doesn't play the jews games, and the way he first came to power was pretty much accidental. He was a temporary pawn that went to take over the space
Putin is the best leader for his nation in the entire world.
Charles Brooks
And after 2013 his economy got bad because sanctions for invading Ukraine and low oil prices
Carson Richardson
he's pretty ok if compared to all the other clowns on worldstage today he's the God Emperor
Sebastian Ward
>doesn't play Jew games user, Putin IS a jew.
Levi Ramirez
nice pic, now post the same stats for 2020 because he just undid everything with that fucking opec disaster and crimea shit and we are back to 2000 levels of shit
Thomas Williams
Ruble started dropping along with oil before Ukrainian stuff got hot. Some sanctions, the ones that hurt consumers the most (medicine, food), were implemented by Russia when it became obvious that gay limp-wristed EU sanctions were too weak to convince the people that their economic hardship was caused by sanctions and not 20 years of complacent third-world-extraction-economy administration.
Logan Hall
There is 3 million Muslims in Moscow, Russian girls prefer them over white men and they top abortion stats, I love Russia almost as much as Serbia or Greece, but until they resolve the Muslim problem, AIDS problem and abortion problem they cannot be considered based. I pray for their salvation.
Zachary Hughes
Only major world power leader who actually looks out for is own nation's interest. Unlike the others who either fully support National Jewery or International Jewery.
Hunter Foster
I think the Chinese president is way better, he isn't corrupt and China will over take the mutt octopus sooner or later, not that I want another non white nation to be atop the world, but they seem to be better rulers than you guys.
Levi Brown
There's a lot of truth here. I work with Russian organisations and their demand for services and ability to pay have been pretty secure for the last decade or so. Westernised Russian acquaintances (i.e. those more likely to be encountered in anglophone media) bitch about him, of course, but the more patriotic and those less exposed to the shitty influences from the USA and Western Europe seem mostly satisfied with what's gone on. Sure, it's not perfect, and apparently migration from the Caucasus and Central Asia has grown terribly since I was last there a few years ago. But the Putin regime has mostly been intent on national sovereignty, putting everything else at a lower priority. >accidental Takes some skill to get into and stay in a position where you're the one looked at and selected to be a pawn.
That Crimea shit was legit. Those sanctions are just a convenient excuse for the USA to try stagnate russia from within with a "valid" reason.
The USA had bad actors in Ukraine creating instability, russia simply acted much like the USA would have if Canada had an issue, but before the smoke could even settle, sanctions everywhere. It was probably intentional. They got Russia out of the picture in terms of economic threat with a nice convenient excuse.
Putin pretty much was playing USA at their own games. This was a time when the USA was building new military warheads very close to Russia, in violation of some international agreements. This was nowhere on the media at the time. Russia responded with their own, this was ALL OVER THE MEDIA and earned them more sanctions.
How the fuck is pol so asleep on this
Julian Butler
I absolutely trust Putin to do what is best for his country, and that makes him both reliable and potentially dangerous. He's an illustrative example of the difference between good and nice.
Blake Perry
He's a strong leader, gotta give him that. But that GDP per person is still freakin' pathetic for a country that wants to be first world. Many of their former slaves states fare better there.
Owen James
I am excited to see them intervene in the Middle East, the muzzies will be looking back at the American occupation as the Golden Age.
Brayden Bell
He's based but bluepilled Memes aside, he's been great in some things and really improved Russia after the weak leadership of the 90s, he put the power of the state back over the oligarchs and there have been general improvements in the country overall under him (although whether he's the direct cause of all the improvements is up for debate). But he's not perfect and hasn't done as much to diversify the economy as some say he could have. I like his foreign policy achievements but I think he's been in power for too long.
Why do you think they will intervene at all? You destroyed all their countries there is never going to be peace there again, you ruined the lives of hundreds of millions
Caleb Parker
Gee Dee Pee is a massive meme by now. How come Russia having it so low has such a massive influence in the world affairs incomparable yo absolute numbers? Western GDP is mostly speculative inflated printed paper given out as loans and debts.
Matthew Jenkins
bros pls tell me, is Putin (((their))) puppet, say it ain't so it would break my heart :(
Elijah Price
True. Actually it was way better in 2013 before these economic troubles.
Justin White
If by they you mean the globalist zionist agenda then no. He's nobody's puppet. Also fuck you you troll piece of shit Is aw your bait above about Russian girls, you're disingenuous and full of shit.
No. That's why he gets thrown under the bus, and is a relentless go to scape goat by all the western media, particular UA.
>russians intervene >russian trolls >russia did it >russia
Charles Collins
GDP per capita for a small country is just bragging rights. For a big country, it's power. Power that its currency remains strong, that they can easily bail themselves out in difficult financial times, etc. Russia hasn't had a massive influence in world affairs since the fall of the USSR. Sorry dude. You've got massive resources, a decently educated population. You should be doing better than ~60th in the world there. Period.
Josiah Davis
They're already good allies with Pakistan, building roads and investing instead of bombing the shit out of children and forcing their cultures down everybody's throats. They oppress the Uyghurs only because they have independence tendencies. In other parts of China, they treat all Abrahamic religions the same way. Not that I like China, but they're indeed better than America, an empire with no values that wants to annex others into their degeneracy.
Dominic Price
The need for resources.
Samuel Turner
Why does russia seems to be such a shithole but paradoxically is filled with brilliant people?
They have great writers, great composers, great artists, great thinkers, one of the greatest chess player. Their military tech is unmatched in terms of reliability. Despite having ridiculously small budgets they completely btfo'd the NASA in the space race and until recently they were the cheapest and most reliable way to send shit into orbit.
per capita gdp matters little in terms of power, unlike total gdp I dont really disagree with you though
Oliver Thomas
Jews are only a problem to the extent you allow them to. If anything, recent events has proven that large megacorporations are fucking useless for anything other than inflating their shares value. They have no power. National goverments reminded about themselves once again.
Putin has solving the demographics problem as his number one priority. The rest you figure out yourself. I would agree with the other user about him being rather blue-pilled. Or maybe what we perceive as blue-pilled is actually patience and responsibility for words and actions.
Ian Williams
It was said in Serbian media that Moscow is a lost cause, don't get me wrong bro I would be the happiest men alive if Russia solved the non Russians problem and conquered all of Europe, like I really want them to conquer us at this fucking moment, but I am being constantly black pilled by Yas Forums and it's getting to me. LIke we Serbs see in Russia the only beacon of hope, but Yas Forums keeps telling me that they are part of the ZOG and I don't even know what to believe anymore it's bad :(
I just want a Orthodox Slavic ethnostate, why is that too much to ask for?
Nathaniel Lewis
The US never attacked the Middle East because of resources it was just an added bonus for their real agenda.
Ukrainian revolution and sanctions meme was an incredibly convenient excuse for Putin to justify his own incompetence by dumping it all on evil evil USA. If anything he directly benefited from the whole situation since it allowed the state media to fan nationalism while entirely ignoring the economical shitfest.
Ian Perry
>per capita gdp matters little in terms of power, unlike total gdp Yeah, that's pretty much what I said. I'm actually rooting for you to do well.
Robert Russell
They don't seem to be focused on looking good, but letting the quality of themselves be known through their actions alone. A great writer can write in peace while living modestly or just as minimalist as possible, for example. Their guns can be reliable without having to look pretty or boasting about it, just letting the quality speak for itself.
I'd like to think that's why. Pretty admirable and neat.
Andrew Kelly
We weren't. Check the archive.
Bentley Cooper
Then that media piece was dumb. Moscow is one of the best large cities in Europe, and for me personally it's the best. And I say that as someone who travels a lot. >but I am being constantly black pilled by Yas Forums and it's getting to me Stop listening to retards here. Yas Forums nowadays is a lost cause full of bluepilled normies and unironic shills paid or not who look for any excuse to shit on Russia.

1 rubble has been deposited into your account.
Colton Rogers
Power of currency? You are massively in debt my friend while Russia has massive reserves to live through the coming crisis. I don't see the dollar helping you in any way. It makes your products less competitive and ours otherwise. Weaker ruble allows to fill state budget with larger ruble equivalent of income for exports largely mitigating the effects of currency cheapening. You can't seriously think that if the currency suddenly got cheaper, the country starts producing less. Of course other effects follow but in general GDP doesn't adequately describe economic potential.
Ian Rodriguez
>USA had bad actors in Ukraine The EU too. Lots of destructive meddling behind the scenes, mostly of importance for how it gave the anti-Russian party excessive hopes of what they could expect from the EU states. But it was ultimately hilarious (despite the destructive work done) how the US actors dismissed the EU's pathetic geopolitical ambitions here, and were even caught out saying literally "Fuck the EU!"...
Because the underlying system of the nation matters little, it's how connected it is to the rest of the world and how much wealth has been stacked inside its territory that matters. The USA would be exactly as rich as it is right now if it went communist overnight and retained the same levels of trade and geopolitics, and Russia would be the same shithole as it is right now if it went full Navalny. That's why they're strangling it and are preventing it from trading with the rest of the world, because the moment they stop doing it will be the moment Russia slingshots into central European levels. That's also why China succeeded, the fact that it's communist matters little, it's their major involvement with the world market that made them what they are.
Josiah Stewart
i do not think he is a leader and i'll call him boris nemstov to his face
Nicholas Wright
The ironic thing is that Russians are one of the most diverse people on the planet. There is no such thing as a Russian, it's propaganda meant to instill pride into belonging to the USSR. It took communism to finally unite Slavic people into one nation. Before that you were hermit Slavs. Cyka blyat!
Elijah Carter
>Orthodox Slavic ethnostate What was wrong with Jugoslavija? Was is it not just that?
Carter Perry
Can agree to this, before the sanctions Russia was a very important (and growing) export market for a lot of Europe. after the sanctions they started buying their own stuff, eg. trusting Russian made products and made the economy better as a whole. instead of buying more stuff they now make a lot more inside Russia. decreasing their need to import and therefor strengthen their national economy. unlike the US which still is a net importer of goods and loose money every year from not selling enough stuff.
>You've got massive resources, a decently educated population. You should be doing better than ~60th in the world there. Period. I mean the US neocon boomers have been trying to destroy Russia ever since the dissolution of the USSR (and before obviously) so it's not surprising. Including supporting incompetent retards like Yeltsin who completely fucked up the transition to capitalism.
Benjamin Ortiz
Thanks user, for the white pill I hope you can conquer Europe one day desu
Colton Bell
You're retarded
Jason Powell
Hes Russian orthodox you flaming homo
Jaxson Campbell
in 1999 russia was in the worst position possible with an incredibly incompetent leader and us puppet. The wealth of russia was stolen by multinational companies and russian oligarchs. It wasn't difficult to be more competent and grow the economy from that starting point.
Hunter Hill
>resets his country back to 1999 with sanctions because he wanted Crimea >ruble is always unstable and can easily be knocked down by west if they wanted to > speculated to be worlds richest man since he’s corrupt as fuck Based!!1!
The one's I saw do, but a lot of Russians that looked like that got killed during the (((communist))) rule. Yugoslavia was a communist country and there were like 10 different ethnic groups in it, the only people who ever called themselves as Yugoslavs were Serbs and Muslim women that had Serbian boyfriends, everyone else stayed true to their roots.
I'm speaking more in the terms of a Byzantine empire type of thing.
Nolan Butler
>how the US actors dismissed the EU's pathetic geopolitical ambitions here, and were even caught out saying literally "Fuck the EU!"... When did all that happen?
Noah Taylor
>What was wrong with Yugoslavia? Everything. Lot of mess with nations (for example there is such a thing like Respublika Serbska in Bosnia), fall of Soviet Union and NATO intervention.
Matthew Scott
Yes Come visit. You'll get a lot better handle on what the country is like, instead of listening to retards on the internet. I know a Bosnian Serb guy standing here in uni for a graduate degree. He found a job pretty quickly as well and loves it here.
Chase Cox
I don't. I have brown hair and green eyes. But Esenin was a fucking BVLL, girls lined up to suck him.
Noah Flores
Okay mutt. Why are there so many dialects of Russian then?
Nicholas Evans
But if all the ethnic groups were slavs, is that really too much of a problem? Isn't that what you said you wanted with Russia? Couldn't it have been reformed for the better so that Southern Slavs could be, united, a regional power, rather than what they are now, which is just pieces for stronger powers to move around, or just ignore entirely?
Adrian Barnes
Roman Abramovich is Putins master Putin is just his little bitch
Why do you dislike Republika Srspka? Btw prior to FYROM, 70% of Yugoslavia was just Serbia, Bosnia was only created after ww2 when they took Serbian land and gave it to slimes
