Giant tax hike in Russia to pay for the "special military operation". I have to give the diminutive Russian Leprechaun credit. Wars have to be paid for. Here in the U.S. we just put wars on credit cards and count on our kids and grandkids to pay for them somewhere down the line with lots and lots of interest... Do you research anything before you post? The Russian tax rate is significantly less than any country in the west. Additionally, Russia's national debt is significantly less than countries in the west. Yet, you try to paint doom and gloom to support your agenda. Don't be so sensitive. I gave your boss credit for actually trying to pay for the war with the tax increase.

World Bank now has Russia as the 4th largest economy. They are ahead of Germany and Japan. Some analyst have stated Russia's PPP GDP is closer to 10 trillion USD, since World Bank is a western centric organization and parts of Russia's economy are not included in this calculation.

Justme, do you know what PPP means? PLease, unlike some other posters, make a correction if warranted.

From my February 2023 post: If in country A a cart of groceries cost $100, where in country B the same exact cost $30, this does not make country A more wealthy than country B. This needs to be accounted for and adjusted. Additionally, a significant portion of the USA's GDP is in services and financialization of the economy. Whereas in Russia this is not significant.

What you're telling me is I have to be careful when you post something because you may be knowingly using a method to report a country's economy (and maybe other things?) which I've never heard of.

PPP is definitely a thing. But remember it allows low tech economies to be compared in output with high income economies. Russia is a falling tech economy, where should it be put?
Also remember Germany's peak output during WW2 was at the end of WW2 but not that many in Germany at the time would think that was a sign of economic success.

Well, well, well. It seems like Xi Ping Pong wants to bend the diminutive Russian leprechaun over a barrel when it comes to the price of natural gas. That kind of happens when you sell your soul to the devil and limit yourself to one customer. Maybe the "limitless friendship" between Russia and China has some limits?
