WTI Falls! Russia in Economic Panic Fundraiser - Econ Lessons

[TexasTowelie]

2. If I recall correctly, we started hearing about possible economic problems with Russia during the last half of 2024

as the oil sanctions took hold. At that point, the analysts noted that the sovereign fund would be running low towards the end of this year and it appears that their estimates have held up pretty well. So claiming that it has been the same old story for the past three years is not accurate--frankly, I don't know how you can say that.

As far as the Russian people not rising up against Putin, perhaps you didn't see this thread today: https://democraticunderground.com/100220723360 . I know that they didn't topple Putin today, but every action has an initial start.

Finally, you are also insulting your fellow DUers by claiming that these are "boy who cried wolf anecdotes". We are certainly capable of reviewing the information and reaching our own conclusions. So much for wishes...
