Uruguay got this easy tbh
That’s just flat incorrect.
Wrong.
Its worse in some places than others.
Its via WiFi hoss. Do you know the signal range? Don’t mix up with other weaknesses already built in.
Dont be disingenuous.
And the fact that Spurtacular agrees with you bolsters that last point.

sons I don't know tech like that tbh. The most confidential type of communication I ever used was an encrypted satellite phone with a special dongle for key, and even that was not enough, so each ?? minutes the dongle would generate a new key. This was pretty much standard for any financial ops in gas/oil, back in '00s. I do know that some of my coworkers from tech are paid a load of cash to keep secure and they told me straight up that any phone with that facebook/google/apple trash is Russia/Chinese/etc exposed. So take out of it what you will, I'm no expert tbh.
sons if you really got ties to diplomats you should know these things about Russia:
1) democracy doesn't and can't work in a country that just in the last 100 years had ww1, civil war, war with poland, lenin, stalin, ww2, holmodor, corrupt commies and the cold war, piss-on-himself yeltsin + shock and awe market liberalisation. It just can't because there is no stability to create the wealth to educate people on how to use/protect a democratic process. Russia was always destined for an oligarchy which only differed in name (tsar + royals / commies / putin + mafia). That's it, no discussion here.
2) russian people are not idiots and realize 1), and they also see how their PPP grew dramatically since Putin took the helm. Some problems lately with sanctions, but if you compare the whole graph it's beyond obvious : putin's era quality of life >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> yeltsin era quality of life.
So that's why putin doesn't get real opposition from his people besides some <1% protests.
3) putin is an absolute master geopolitics player, that influenced usa elections, german/italy/uk/france policy through far right funding, created silk road with china, took back crimea, abkazia, ossetia, crushed chechens, revitalized key industries and the army, stabilized economy to something manageable right now, survives a usa+saudi crunch on oil, won them the world cup, engineered the alternative the IMF with china, and so on. He's an evil man but he's among the GOAT statesmen and quite possibly the best in the last 50 years. He is THAT everybody hates but fears and everybody knows it.
That's why both russians and westerners with access to Russia don't care, because life is ty and this is the best Russia can do right now. All the westerner principles of life demand a level of stability, prolonged wealth and culture of human individuality and rights which are just incompatible with the realities of today's Russia.
So this is why you won't get another answer. This is what any serious policy maker, foreign investor, or literate Russian will tell you, it is what it is and life goes on.
First bolded: Pure BS speculation because unfortunately a drunk incompetent Yeltsin got into power and then handed it over tomPutin. Agreed democracy is not easy. But to say it’s all they can do? Laughable. And just giving up.
2nd bolded: of course it has stabilized, because it’s got little to zero personal freedom. You give up on that because you can go back to choice. How magnanimous of you.
3rd bolded: Oh that’s just wonderful. What a great thing! He has the MOST MINERAL WEALTH AND THE MOST FARMLAND with an economy the size of California. But he’s hated and feared. That’s just peachy.
4th bolded: Thats the best they can do... why? That’s the ceiling, dfens has found the ceiling for the Russian people. What an analyst...
analyzes Russia and has got it figured out cause he had a beer over there.

You don’t need to be.
Read the article. WiFi. You got to get on it.
I’m wrong.
It looks like California’s economy is at least twice that of Russia.
And as difficult as it is to even wish for change in another country with so much potential we can at least be aware they need to stay the fck away from our ins utions because we are free.

mistakes:
- GDP instead of PPP shows you've never worked in economics so your financial assessment is just flawed from the start.
- ignore social/educational/ins utional costs that are shown to be enormous in even the small ex-soviet states (ideal cases: ethnically genous, 30 years of western investment, politically stable, easy to build up infrastructure in them, access to euro market)
- farmland in a low density country is only useful for export, but it becomes pointless if not cost compe ive with extern markets, as the commies could've told you 50 years ago. Compe iveness comes from a stable advanced economy (not implementable in Russia for myriad or reasons) or from slavery (could be used but more efficient to run a resource economy right now).
- yeltsin was not elected by mistake nor by ignorance, he was elected FOR his incompetence BY the oligarchs who massively benefitted from his administration. Putin wasn't given power, the KGB just stepped up in Russia's time of need and slowly crept into the new oligarch system, slowly taking control away from it.
- democracy isn't built in 30 years in an unstable, corrupt, unskilled, economically devasted, poor infrastructure, socially hostile environment. Especially when that country is world power with many nukes. Ideally the first step is long term stability and wealth ac ulation and then a slow transition to a less corrupt administration, then a slow transition from protectionism to interventionism when competiveness increases, otherwise you're just exposing the internal market to collapse due to uncompe iveness and corruption (90s in russia) which leads to national collapse and going back to step 1. Putin is running the economical game excellently from this pov, as he is centralizing economical power, ac ulating wealth and stabilizing the country, and taking it away from the oligarchs, which is Putin's endgame in terms of russian internal economics. While this is still defrauding, it is a defrauding process which keeps a larger percentage of the stolen wealth in Russia, which is then redistributed to key segments (military, auto, it, infrastructure) instead of just being standard capital drain and thieving (as seen in ex-soviet states and 90s russia).
anyway, if you want to argue on this topic you'll need to show some skill, otherwise I'm too bored by the college sop re level takes to even sketch something.
tldr for the economics-challenged: any transparent government would be run over by the power of the oligarchs and we'd be back to the 90s. Ivan doesn't understand the delicate economics processes happening right now but he is standing pat on social issues as he'd rather not go back to the hyperinflation/hypercorruption of the 90s where the job market/currency/system collapsed and he starved and froze.
for the love of god use PPP when comparing two completely different economies. GDP just makes no sense for non/low transactional economies.
Jesus Christ - it's worse than what I thought!!!!
Let me pick this apart:
Because you fckn don’t live there you think it’s all rosy. -> Do you live there to know otherwise? No you don't so how are you so sure the bull you consume is true?
Brainwashed American. That’s you. -> No, that's you - I'm a free-thinker. You are a koolaid drinker
What do you read to know the above? Where do you get your information that lets you proclaim the above.Lets see your list. Put up or shut up -> Just the multiple people, real people who report from there. The people you run into in the street. You can communicate freely today with almost anyone. Those who are there say this is the best World Cup ever. Best stadiums, best security, best organization.
oh you mean free press that does not exist in Russia. -> So the press in the US is free? you are delusional beyond measure
You in on that RT news? Good for you -> I would expect you to say something like this. You do watch Fox, don't you?? GOTCHA!!!!! ROLF
Borders on a kleptocracy, -> and what do you think our President runs on???? or american politics in general??? Jesus Christ you need some serious wakeup
dfens my youngest son - you are now officially abusing this kid, enough son I beg you
Stop ging it up s.
What do you read?
Where do you get your information?
And of course I tune in on FOX and RT from time to time to laugh at the BS. You cant criticize what you don’t ever access.
Im not talking about the US. And that’s not what a kleptocracy is anyway. We know what problems we have in the US because we have free press. So were do you get your info on Russia since the west is biased?
Give me your non western news sources with articles on Russia explaining how I’m brainwashed.
I dare you to list what you read... Since you don’t drink the coolaid give us your preferring news sources.
Now watch the chicken shrivel... You pick this apart, go ahead with your list.

its on tomorrow... we got some good games methinks.
All the people ragging on neymar- Brits especially- can go themselves. These are the same people that justified suspending Suarez for a year, but have nothing to say about teams hunting neymar purposely, and more importantly without any consequences.
I say Brits especially because their players flopped pathetically vs colombia, and because they celebrate pieces of like stiles, Keane etc.
Bull .
If you work from within you are already behind.
Please don’t try that on me.
There are so many things wrong in here. Especially with Yeltsin.
I will address.
sons GDP makes sense for transaction heavy economies as it depicts transactionality without context. It's not even accurate for service economies since it can be inflated or oscillated (like us does before and after gdp reports, pretty common joke in economics btw). In non-transactional economies specific for transition/resource/rural-urban hybrid economies the transaction itself is not the mechanism which powers the economy, hence transactionality is low as its usage is of lower importance to the overall internal economy, usually done through some form of oligarchy/monopoly/state-control. Hence GDP is pointless there. This is basics smh.
I'll throw you a bone and explain it by steps:
1. Non-transactionality is a desired feature of a heavily corrupt environment as it minimizes the capital drain in highly economically autonomous (legal or through corruption) en ies/regions/markets, which is exactly what you had with the oligarchs just 10 years ago. Basically first you want to minimize capital flight at the expense of anything else (rights, democracy, government transparency, etc).
2. This internal non-transactional economy is used to centralize power from many autonomous en ies to a few centralized power en ies, which then control the entire system. This is now, Putin's gang ac ulating power and wealth.
3. The next step is purging autonomous non-centralized en ies (poison, nerve gas, prison, gulag, "anti-corruption" laws, etc) + reinvestment of ac ulated capital into critical fields owned by the centralized power, and there you see tech (VK, RT global, info war, etc), army, infrastructure + transport (aero, auto, etc) , agribusiness in today's Russia.
4. Once the markets are stabilized in a another 10-20 years we might see some laissez faire in the cities (not the countryside) to a) cater to the under 30 generation which lacks the experience old Ivan had in the 90s and b) increase city compe iveness.
you can also observe the same economic strategies in China and India. This is not research tbh, and also the west economic elite is happy with this economic activity as it helps suppress wages in western economies, through international trade.
maybe you learn something hopefully tbh?
sons I'm helping these s out, it's a cold world out there tbh
he seems to be pretty thick up there - I doubt he'll be able to digest this level of knowledge. Lots of hotpockets at his momma's basement tbqhsons I'm helping these s out, it's a cold world out there tbh
