Russia's economy has entered a recession as gross domestic output fell by 4% in the third quarter, according to first estimates published Wednesday by the national statistics agency, Rosstat. The drop in GDP follows a similar 4% contraction in the second quarter, as Western sanctions pummel Russia's economy following Moscow's offensive in Ukraine. The 4% drop in economic output between July and September was less than the 4.5% contraction analysts had expected.
I think there’s quite enough condemning of Russia and China of everything under the sun in western media. I think providing a counter perspective is valuable. I don’t know why you think that’s such a gotcha.
I also love the whole enlightened centrism notion of people having some sort of a duty to condemn both sides. I choose the topics I want to focus on, and if you have topic you want to focus on that’s up to you. Stop trying to police other people’s speech.
Absolutely hilarious how liberals bloviate about freedom of speech but then rabidly attack anybody who exercises it in the way they don’t like. Having such a reaction to seeing views you disagree with may be a sign of having serious mental problems.
I see people doing the opposite a lot of the time actually. Lots of people here whitewash what the west is doing and make excuses.
I honestly believe that you should get help in that case.
