It's been this bad before? That's funny too.
This literally happens every years, and people don't seem to notice a pattern apparently. Russian government gets more revenue domestically from doing exports with a weak currency.
It’s been worse before, but news of its impending demise was greatly exaggerated: Biden turned the ruble into rubble. Then it quickly came back. If anything’s been funny, it’s been the US’s/NATO’s overconfidence.
What about the US/NATO response do you find so amusing?
I didn’t say amusing, I said funny, as in weird. And the answer is their hubris.
What hubris? They did what they needed to in supporting Ukraine and it's been incredibly successful, given popular sentiment was Ukraine would fall within days of the invasion. Are you just going to ignore Russian hubris here, invading a giant sovereign nation and exposing the weaknesses in your military along the way? Lmao
Ah yes, such incredible success on display here lmfao https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn0dpdx420lo
Maybe making progress during year three of your three day special military operation isn't really something to celebrate.
The whole 3 day narrative came from the west. It's pretty hilarious that people keep parroting it today. Show me a single official Russian source ever saying anything of the sort. Meanwhile, here's an analysis from the Royal United Services Institute written by a person who actually has a clue.

I swear the more propagandized someone is the more confidently incorrect. Do you still believe in the Ghost of Kyiv and that Putin is at death’s door as well? Or the Nayirah testimony or Hussein’s WMDs or Gaddafi’s Viagra army or Hamas’ raping spree?
I implore you to consider developing better media literacy.
Tell me you're Russian without saying you're Russian, lol.
I’m as American as McDonald’s deep fried apple pie.
Very American post, he linked a thing about McDonald's
Are you doubling down on Russiagate conspiracy theories? Are the Russian bots in the room with us now?
You know how Trump wants to revoke citizenship for migrants? If you don't shill for the state department you're gonna get your citizenship revoked next time libs are in power lmao.
What brought you to Lemmy and are you on other social media platforms?
I came here for the same reason that other Redditors did last year, including probably you.
