Kiryandil: "You actually believe The Clown Joe Blogs!

Well, first, I don't know what school you went to, but in the old days, schools used to teach that words like yours of "clown" are not arguments and will never persuade anyone of anything except your own clown-like nature, FRiend.

Second, it seems that unlike you, I've actually watched Joe Bloggs videos about Russia.
They all review data published by the Russian government itself.

How truthful is Russian government data?
Likely not so much, a fact which Joe Bloggs frequently acknowledges.
Russian government data is intended to put Russian numbers in the best possible light, and yet, sometimes they reveal perhaps more of the real truth than they intended.

In the case of Russia's reported growth in GDP, its own data shows the collapse of Russia's pre-war energy sector and the rapid growth of it's non-energy sectors.
What is Russia's non-energy sector?
There's only one that is growing rapidly, and that is defense spending, which according to Russia's own numbers has tripled since 2020 and is now around 40% of Russia's federal budget, or 9% of GDP.

This is the kind of reporting Joe Bloggs does, which may seem "clownish" to you, but perhaps, is that because you've been spending way too much time in the anti-Ukraine circus tent?
