    Exchange rates don’t mean much, if they did, the UK economy wouldn’t be in the shitter and China’s wouldn’t be the big bad monster it’s become in US media recently.

    GDP adjusted for Purchasing Power Parity is what matters, and Russia is the 4th economy in the world under those metrics. It overtook Japan some months ago.

    Maybe analyse why your corporate media wants you to simultaneously believe Russia has spent three years on the verge of collapse yet you need to send another hundred billion in weapons and fire them all right fucking now, Armageddon be damned.





  • With the state of western software development and how ingrained the US and Israeli security state seems to be there, plus how much China seems to be prioritizing top-to-bottom self-sufficiency in tech, I wouldn’t be surprised if a Chinese fork that welcomes Russian contributors becomes a force unto itself.

    An ecosystem where India, Russia, and China based coders take leadership is an ecosystem that has a bigger chance for mass adoption in the biggest manufacturing economies in the world.
