>Russia's GDP is lower than Italy's, India's,

>>73170184
And?

>>73170218
It means that Russia is poor af.

Since when we ranked that high in gdp. i didn't even realize

>>73170240

To measure richness you have to look at PPP chained lad. China is closing in on the US GDP and they are still poor.

>>73170240
It's because o currency devaluation, nominal GDP means shit

>>73170240
And?

It's funny because Russia is supposed to be one of the three big powers of the world, and Canada is not.

>>73170240
>Russia is poor af.
Yeah, and water is wet

>>73170425
>Russia is supposed to be one of the three big powers of the world
After 1910 its not

>>73170425
>Russia is supposed to be one of the three big powers of the world
Exactly, supposed. Your media just decided on its own that somehow this place was any better than somalia and we could do anything other than suck euro and american dick or be utterly destroyed

>Having a lower GDP than Brazil and South Korea is clearly a shame.
>Having a lower GDP than Canada is also a shame because Canada has 35 million people while Russia has 150.

But Italy doesn't put 80% of their tax money into propaganda, psychological ops and financing extremist parties.

Serious question : why is it so poor?
You guys are sitting on a fucking pile of ressources and your minimum wage is hella low.
Why isn't Russia a big factory?

>have no money
>still able to push everyone around
fucking lel

>Why isn't Russia a big factory?
Russia isn't like China. Russians are either too lazy or too drunk to work

The USSR was one of the two strongest countries for half a century, and Russia still fucks around in smaller countries all the time and never gets out of the news (though not as much as we do). It's hard to blame people for thinking it's a big and important country.

>>73170675
Because of the people in it

>>73170184
All that means is that Russia is not an economic powerhouse. They are military power but when was last time you saw a Russian car? They make less Cars than Thailand turkey and czechia for example

And?

> and fucking Brazil's

And? We are big countries with fuckload of resources and population, of course one of them would be in front since Russia now it's going through a worse crisis than us.

>>73170184
Because there was a geopolitical catastrophe. The Soviet Union collapsed. The main thing is natural resources and territory - Russia has great ambitions and prospects.

It's been almost thirty years since the USSR collapsed.

It's not hard when you consider those "people" are composed of uneducated consumerist drones that believe whatever the media tries to implant in their minds.

>>73170184
>Brazil is almost 4 times bigger than you
scary

It was the 90's that fucked Russia hard, not the collapse of the Soviet Union itself. Thanks to the American puppet Yeltsin, the Russian economy was completely stolen.

>>73172202
It's the center of the EU. That's not too embarrassing.
