Kiryandil: "It's a Joe Blogs video. The Youtube Clown Who Collapsed."

His site was attacked and deleted.
Now he's back with all 366,000 subscribers restored.

Recent Joe Bloggs posts include:

  2. "CHNA Economy IMPLODING - Exports Collapse, Property Price Crash, Imports & Factory Prices Down" 203k views

  5. "RUSSIA - India Stops Buying Russian Oil as Sovcomflot is Sanctioned & USA Crackdown Continues" 217K views
Admittedly Bloggs' headlines are a bit hyperbolic, but his analysis itself is a pretty straightforward, sometimes tedious, look at numbers largely published by the Russian government itself, to illustrate weaknesses in Russia's new war-economy.

The key point Bloggs' points out is that Russia's GDP numbers, while impressive, are based entirely on the growth of Russia's war-economy, meaning, Russia's production of weapons and ammunition is driving up GDP, but every other sector of Russia's pre-war economy is in steep decline, most notably, energy.

Blogg's conclusion is that when or if Russian war production ends, Russia will face an economic collapse similar to what every country felt, immediately at the end of WWII.

This is typical of war economies.

The highest rate of GDP growth Germany ever saw was IIRC, in 1943-44, 11%

This was when its cities were being flattened, food rationing was in effect, and civil investment had flat-lined. But they were making lots of tanks, aicraft and ammo.

The same happened in the US (other than cities being destroyed) - GDP growth was 18.9% in 1942.
