Hah! Take that, Putin! That’ll learn em.
EDIT: NO NO NO NO NO, your comment showed up under a different post and that’s why that was my reply, never mind, never mind
Just confirming I’ve been presented comments in totally incorrect contexts also.
Why does this happen tho?
Lemmy has some bugs, and jerboa has even more, as far as I know only 2 people actively work on the thing and we had a major update a few days ago, and that always brings along lots and lots of bugs to fix.
For comparison, Russia under like a million sanctions only had 2% fall in GDP. Backfire is not a strong enough word for what happened.
Libs, overdosing on copium and western propaganda: 4 > 2, more = better, therefore Germany > Russia
You can only call this backfiring if you assume part of the two-pronged purpose of all of this was not to weaken Germany and the EU and make them more subservient just when they were starting to buck the US on various issues including Russia (US told them many times not to build Nordstream and they did anyways), China, etc.
This is not a bug but a feature.
I agree.
Guys, the sanctions are working!
Not Germany. The working people of Germany. Huge distinction.
I find it so ironic that Europe really sold any independence it had to be Amerika’s lapdog.
Even capitalist countries in the global south, like India or Indonesia, has seen high average GDP growth over the past few decades, and will continue see higher than Western average growth the next coming few years.
They can’t even adequately benefit and manage the mode of the production (and associated colonial profits) that was first developed on their own soil.
Capitalism developed during the early Islamic caliphate. Arabs had a long history of being merchants, everything developed from there after Islam.
Noice
Seems like the plan to keep the US on top, Russia out, and Germany down is working perfectly.
Germany is also the “leader” (more like primus inter pares, the US is the real leader obv) of the EU, if its economy crumbles to dust and shit starts to get real in the country, we may start to see some funny things here in the old continent
West Germany***
