Sanctions and the removal of Russia from SWIFT have not deterred the Russian economy. A recent report by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that Russia’s economy will grow more in the next year than any other advanced economy.
The IMF believes Russia’s economy will grow by 3.2% in 2024, in comparison, the US is expected to grow by 2.7% while Europe’s top economy, Germany, is expected to grow by a mere 0.2%. Cutting off Europe from Russian energy backfired in a major way. Foreign investments have been pouring into Russia from the rest of the world, which is eager to join the rank of “advanced nation.”
Trade between China and Russia has spiked to $240 billion in the last year alone. World leaders have learned absolutely nothing from the previous three years. US President Joe Biden just announced new tariffs against China on steel, aluminum, and shipbuilding supplies that will be potentially raised to 7.5%, triple the current rate for steel and aluminum. “The president understands we must invest in American manufacturing, but we also have to protect those investments and those workers from unfair exports associated with China’s industrial overcapacity,” Lael Brainerd, director of the White House’s National Economic Council. The president of the US and other world leaders simply do not understand how the economy operates. Brainerd believes China is simply overproducing, and these tariffs will cause China to change its policy as it wishes to continue trade with the US, its previous top trading partner.
China does not need the US to excel at trade. China’s adopted capitalistic style of business is causing nations to line up to sell to China in the same manner that they once did to the US. Now, Americans are strapped for cash, and its consumer population is declining. Biden just made it less appealed for nations like China to sell to the US. Germany is failing to grow because it continued its mercantile system of business where it feels it must increase manufacturing. German manufacturing may be of higher quality than that of China but China’s middle class is growing, and with it, so are the number of consumers amid a population of nearly 1.4 billion people.
Russia does not need the US, Canada, or Europe for trade either, as they have a precious natural resource that is in higher demand than supply. The world needs energy and fossil fuels and cannot operate without them. As hard as the climate change zealots try, they cannot eliminate the world’s dependence on fossil fuels. Instead, the West is imposing regulations and taxing its people in an effort to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels, but the demand is not there, and the infrastructure does not exist. There is no reliable alternative to fossil fuels on a wide scale.
Russia does not need to adhere to the G7 nation’s price capping regulations. Russia has effectively been selling oil to nations like India who then turn around and sell it to the West at a premium. Pettiness is poor business, and simply attempting to ostracize a necessary trade partner from the global market has backfired in a major way. Now nations like those under BRICS are trading freely without Western interference and it is becoming overtly apparent that sanctions do not work.

Russia Set to Outpace All Advanced Economies – Sanctions
FAILEDHELP RUSSIA SUCEED!I have to wonder how the ChiComs feel about that. The Norks eat shit at the ChiComs command. Now the ChiComs will be eating shit at Russia’s command.
Where does it end and whose shit is it anyway?
Wait…WHAT?!? Five people don’t think CHINA controls the internet? What rock did THEY crawl out from under?
OBVIOUSLY…YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW…WHO “INVENTED” THE “INTERNET”!
CLUE: THEY WERE “NOT CHINESE”…BUT, “RELATED” TO THEM!
DID YOU FORGET??? IT WAS THE “NORK’S” WHO SET UP THE SO-CALLED “CHI-COMS”…EVER SINCE “AFRICAN SLAVERY” ENDED…LONG AGO!…AS A “BACK-UP PLAN” IN CASE SLAVERY FAILED IN THE “USA”
REMEMBER THE NORK’S WERE ALREADY “RAPING AND PILLAGING” THE CHINESE FOR 1000’s OF YEARS…BEFORE!…REMEMBER???
GUESS “WHERE” THE CHINESE LIVE CLOSES TOO!…RUSSIA!!!
REMEMBER THE REAL-STORY ABOUT THE “GREAT-WALL”…AND HOW IT WAS BREACHED???
Does anyone know what these sanctions are? I saw an article where France is still buying gas from Russia while simultaneously threating to send troops to fight Russia in Ukraine. As HSF has pointed out how do you continue to do business with a country you are supposedly at war with? We are being played as usual.
That’s a good point, one that Paul Craig Roberts has mentioned in the past.
Like BitCoin, sanctions are entirely theoretical and do not exist in reality.
Only smart thing TCS has ever written.
Only smart thing I posted that you understood. Hey. We’re ALL making headway!
They’re still piping enough gas through Ukraine to power a small country,
Too bad Ukraine is smaller than that.
I guess they don’t want to freeze their asses of even if there is a war. Remember great ally JB reduced LNG to Europe. We’re else they supposed to buy gas from?
GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!…I WONDER THAT IS BECAUSE RUSSIA AND FRANCE ARE “RELATED RACIALLY” TO EACH OTHER???
JUST LIKE ALL “NATO” IS TOO???
Selling off your country to foreigners and practically giving away oil doesn’t look like winning to me.
Maybe there are uses for rupees I don’t know about.
Jangle them across your frenulum. See if that clarifies things for ya!
The Rothschilds own Russia.
They favor and bolster only the nations they favor or that they can use to win the game.
It is a big chess game between them, the fallen angels of Hell and God for your souls. One that lasts this entire age on earth, soon ending.
Right now they favor Russia, China and Isreal because they own them. Later they will use China to take down Russia and replace all whites of Russia with Chinese.
They took Russia in 1917, killing over 66 million white Christians in sat a nic ritual torture and starvation, made abortion legal immediately.
They took China and made forced abortion by the state legal killing 100’s of millions of Christians in that revolution.
China is now the most atheist nation.
Vietnam atheist both were previously more catholic and Christian than the west.
They won ww2 and killed more, divide and conquer bait and switch.
They own Israel. They took the holy land and the Vatican with the help of the CIA,
as an insult and offense against God. They are both satanic now.
Every nation the devils take must be consecrated in blood of innocents to lucifer.
The west is next. Billions will die, including all whites, all Christians for Lucifer.
South America will be next.
The money you give to the Rothschilds in interest on money they lend you to fight their satanic twars for them, plus the money you give to Israel, goes to their secret weapons programs that they will use to destroy the western powers in Ww3, beginning with a civil war via the migrant army they have set u p as UN peace keeping soldiers. Those will be the new cheka. They exist to wipe out the entire white race.
The fallen angels all related all original Rothschild DNA, are already dead.
They are the living dead, who never die.
They existed here bodily since they arrived with the ancient Babylonian money system of child sacrifice. The one that has existed and been owned and run by them. They transfer their dead spirit consciousness from one generati9n to the next, and never die.
That’s how they play the game. Their chess peices are the money and the lies they get you to belive and the addition of other Yiddish minions born soulless that serve them as pawns in the game. They exist to corrupt minds, to convince the gentiles to believe as they do, that evil is good and the good we once believed in is no longer revelant and is foolish. That God is dead, or never existed.
They have changed life from a time to obtain knowledge, of spirituality, to a time to gratify your ego and body with pleasures and material possessions.
All the old advanced knowledge of the past is gone and replaced with false spiritual idiotic crap, posing as truth, and now you worship technology and Science as the replacement for all the ancient truth you once aquired from God and the good angels.
The technology you have began with what they stole from Hitler, that came from God. Now it is fallen angel technology, that will be used to kill all whitesxand all Christians in WW3. In gruesome horrible ways.
The worst will be the bioweaons, transhumanism, and the mark of the beast, which will all kill people and their souls.
Whatever they tell you they are purposed for, the opposite will be the truth.
The devil always plays the bait and switch, divide and conquer and extortion.
The Rothschild now have weapons to block out the Sun.
A yellow powder that will kill everything it touches, forever, even the earth itself.
A weapon that will put the defending armies to sleep.
Radioactive tsunami causing nukes.
Weather control weapons they are all demonstrating theses weapons to nations.
The microwave and DEW weapons from space, they demonstrated to make all nations submit is extortion.
The CERN, and Antarctica weapons to bring demonic aliens to earth: demonstrated in the Miami mall, where all the cops nd helicopters were already waiting for it to arrive, before the incident.
Blacking out the Sun, they national guard was ready and waiting on high alert.
Just as the US did not demonstrate the A bomb on a remote island to Japan, these demonic beings will just demonstrate them on the public at large, like the Dubai Flood.
You funded your own weapon systems that will kill you.
You made Rockefellers and Rothschilds your bankers.
You fought wars against every nation that refused their central banks for them.
They use violence and fear to force slavery and submission to their evil control and total domination.
All because you believed their lies about Hitler, and the holo-hoax.
When you belive the lies of the devil and do their bidding based on those lies, you become demonicaly possessed.
It is part of the chess game.
You become insane.
All demons all beings from hell are insane. Sin and insanity are synonymous.
You dug your own graves.
Thank you, Jane, for truth and reason that many are too cowardly to face.
i thought biden (small letter intended) said his administration would ‘build back better’ in reference to this nation. i did not realize he meant he would build Russia back better. did he mean China, too? seems to me he meant both countries.
Ehh, Russia produces, mostly commodities, true, but still, it produces. We western eunuchs produce… fiat and financial instruments. Admittedly the producing parts (other than Russia) of the world still accept the fiat in exchange for goods (more fools they) but really, fiat sanctions on commodities producers work how? A sphincter says what?
Why sanctions? What happened to Tariffs?
What happened to “Fuck ’em. Kill them all!” ?
That was REALLY popular in times past!
I’m thinking it’s gonna make a comeback in a BIG way!
WINNING LIKE CHARLIE SHEEN!!!
I am an avid reader of Facts and this one made me stand up and fall to the Floor.
Did you know Russia has High speed Rail, Lots of it. 22 in fact and then I searched the internet to find only third World countries like America do not.
I rest my case your Honour !
We have become a Pigmy on stilts without a pot to piss in
In what way has Biden done anything to work at cross purposes with Putin? What really is dumb is those who think Biden and Putin are at opposite sides, and Putin is a good guy. It’s Western Nationalism getting the squeeze between 2 political puppets.
