WH40k Orks would be proud of these deathtraps.

I don't know I think a Mekboy would almost be ashamed of it.

Only because they didnt paint them red.

So apparently the Black Sea Fleet got attacked because the Russian officers hadn't been paid, so they sold intel to Ukraine:

You can't make this shit up haha

Well you can, but the fact that nobody would be surprised if it's true speaks volumes.

The best thing is, even if it isn't true. Someone high up in the Russian military will be found guilty either way because the people investigating it will be found guilty if they don't find someone guilty.

So the people who maybe qualified and in a position of power will be found guilty and "removed", most likely via window into food poisoning, allowing an incompetent yesman to fill the spot?

*yawn* I maybe tired, but I'm not tired of the winning.

And the Russians tried to blame NATO and the US for the attacks.

No one knows what inflation in russia is actually running at, only that it is far higher than what russia claims. Estimates out it at 30-40%, which is not healthy. Now russia's finance minister has come up with a solution - if you'd don't buy, prices are fine.

Who needs, food, clothing, heating?

Fun, fun, every day closer to the guillotines.

To be fair, this seems to be the wests answer to inflation too… raising interest rates causes consumers to be able to afford less, thus bringing the inflation down…

Somehow nobody seems to care that the problem of inflation is that people can buy less, which isn’t solved, though inflation officially goes down.

Tell me, please, from where does that number, 30-40%, comes from? What sources, based on what? Because, well...

Looks like Russia shot down their own SU-35 around Tomak.

The apparent sauce for anyone curious. This is not yet confirmed.

I hope it gets confirmed. Those things range from 40-60mil a pop.

"Because, well..."

...what? Because Russia says differently?

They probably should look at Armenia and see the writing on the wall if they expect russian support.

probably have and noticed the azeris have done some ethnic cleansing and nobody has done anything about it. doubled edged sword comparison there.

Here's just one for you - an economics professor (you know, someone who actually knows a thing or two about economies), pegs it at 60%. There are others who don't have it so high, but way above russia's claims.

If it was anywhere near as low as russia claims there would have been no need for such a massive interest rates hike recently, from 8.5 to 12% in ne hit and then another large rise a month later to 13%. You only do that if you are fighting really serious inflation, not the false numbers russia put out.
