Russian gdp dropped 2.1% in 2022 and 2.5% in 2023. Also, munitions created for the war count in gdp. But once they are used they have no more economic utility.

Like US corporate spending on diversity, ESG, DEI and wokeness. ?

Actually not. Shell blows up and is gone. Money spent of Leftist poison does damage for years and years.

That is a good point - but Biden's attack on our own energy production over the years has no doubt helped Russia and made the sanctions less effective. He has in effect funded Russia's war effort.

It actually grew by 3.6%
