- Following FMI experts we have to wait months before watch Russia being economically crushed. Once done the effect will last for years.

Eighteen companies, which are also the largest employers in the Kaliningrad Oblast, notified the regional authorities about the risk of collective redundancies. Following the introduction of sanctions against Russia, they lack the components and raw materials needed to maintain work continuity. - Kaliningrad is a besieged fortress that could be the first to collapse under sanctions in Russia.

A Russian journalist describes that when he visited a local office, he found out that around 1,000 unemployed people had arrived in a month. This phenomenon was irrelevant before the war with Ukraine. Unemployment did not exceed 5 percent.

"Most of the companies are counting on the government to provide subsidies to keep employment temporarily," reads the Kaliningrad.ru publication.

My opiniom: let them count on government, and when we also decrease Ru government income from oil/gas/coal, Russia will have to make a tough choice to keep on either social spending or war spending.

More insults?

You literally said the words "Politics is just war by other means"

I think I read that correctly. Just admit it and stop this constant and flimsy personal grudge and posturing.

Doesn't give them the right, but they can. But they have to accept the consequences.



Well they can if they have the ability to but I don't think many Cherokee survived till this day I guess their race and culture is almost obliterated.



Sorry mate , with all respect to you, this is how the world works. Is it "morally right " , absolutely no.

He who conquers rules.

If the world was that upright, the allies would have returned Tibet to the Tibetans after world war 2 and Taiwan back to the hands of the aboriginals and maybe Hawaii back to the Kingdom of Hawaii. It didn't happen, and it will not happen in future.
The superpowers that won at the moment of conquest and comes out victorious will " cut up the land " accordingly simply because they are the victors and the moral authority if they win the war and " save" the world.


The weaker powers will just have to sit and see what they get.

I like the way Ferdia comment on this topic. We are just trying to help everyone see what is happening and understand perhaps why the war happen.
If you go too far to the Russians you will end up like Chopstick at times

But if you go to far to the West's side, some of use will feel they are being immersed into the Western Media.
We have to look at the horrors that the Russian did at the moment and we have to track back to why this happen.

A lot of times these wars happen because of petty reasons. But we just need to be fair to the West and to Russia as well.
