March on, comrades! Hand in hand we meet the socialist future! Not often a sig matches a post's content that well.

Ooops. Sultanate Erdoghanistan on fifth place, muscles pumping strong in its chest.

Russia is doing well in those rankings it appears:

Rounding out the most-improved in the rankings this year should be Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Netherlands, China, Ecuador and Russia — each set to move down nine spots or more.

Makes me wonder when those sanctions would destroy the regime of baby eating Putin.

Those sanctions hurt us certainly more than Russia.But they have a psotiive side-effect: by banning certain economic anf incial investements, Western companies are kept from their stupid behaviour of raisjng their own dependecny on and vulnerability to Moscow and the Russian market, which also reduces the worries of their hoem nation'S policies towards Russia.

To my great irritation, politicians of course do not see it like me, but would raise these weaknesses as soon as possible, if the sanctions fall.

Especially vitally export-depending Germany does not understand this, not just with regard to Russia, but practically towards everybody. "You should not make yourself depending on others more than is unavoidable" - what is so difficult in understanding this simple advise?
