Everything above 90 is irrelevant to me.

The number of "economic experts" I've heard claim the Russian economy is fine and isn't collapsing anytime soon is insane, and it is always based on those fake numbers, without regard for reports about what is really going on.
There's a reason Russia is selling out of their gold reserves again, and it's not that the Russian economy is in good shape.
The Russian economy has been in steep recession for more than a year, but they have faked the numbers to look like they are not.
Unfortunately many governments have trusted the "experts", and that has influenced policies towards Russia, and probably prevented actions that could have helped Russia over the edge sooner. Like the lame ineffective efforts against the Russian shadow fleet.
It probably also prevented pressure from Europe on USA to allow Ukrainian attacks on oil refineries, something Ukraine wanted to do, but only began doing after USA stopped helping with military equipment. And quite frankly Ukraine is doing better now without help from USA, than they were doing with USA help but with conditions attached like Ukraine wasn't allowed to attack into Russia AT ALL! Preventing Ukraine from attacking Russian supply lines, and artillery that was on Russian ground. Biden was a huge millstone around the neck of Ukraine even more than Trump! Despite the early help from Biden was crucial in the beginning of the war. Biden was apparently afraid of Putin, and what he will do when he loses.
Bullshit, all advisors warned strongly against it, until Trump surrounded himself with incompetent people and took the bait from Israel.
This war is near impossible for USA to win, and USA has already lost in so many ways, like exposing their incompetence militarily, lacking equipment, the petro dollar is threatened, and when that falls the USD will fall as a global reserve currency too. And USA is losing allies both in the gulf and in Asia because of this.
It was obvious from day 2. Both of his presidency in general and of this war in particular.
WHAT?! Are they really claiming the President of USA isn't telling the truth? Isn't Trump known for always telling the truth and never cheating?!
I have no idea who would believe such claims?

OK thanks, I wasn't aware of that, I thought it was something particular for tobacco.
All I can say is that that warning has been key for me to NOT try that single party cigarette.
Yikes 🤢
Probably raining oil too.
Amazing how 500+ km are becoming routine for Ukraine to attack now!
IDK, but I do know that Russian car manufacturers like LADA are complaining that they can't compete on either price or quality with cars coming from China.
Russian manufactured cars lack parts that are completely standard everywhere else, like air bags, power steering, ABS, media-center etc. Their engines are also generally weak, and the comfort and driving characteristics are terrible. This is despite in principle having learned how to make somewhat decent cars first by FIAT and later by Renault. But without parts an know how from the west their manufacturing capabilities are absolute shit.
So I bet there are shortages also in the production of military equipment, and the quality is probably awful on that too, where what they need before anything else is to fulfill government contracts.
Best of luck quitting again. 🤞
Were you really nicotine free for 12 years and then started again?
If so, can you confirm that us smokers become conditioned to the nicotine, I've heard it termed smokers brain, so even after years of not smoking, you get right back in no time to the level of smoking you were at before you quit?!

I'm confused and surprised considering how the index is supposed to work, to see USA ranked above Canada?!
