Russian GDP $1.325 trillion (2015 est.)
South Korean GDP $1.377 trillion (2015 est.)
Russia does have nearly triple the population though.
“CIA World Factbook, “
There’s your problem. Not a reliable source. Might as well use Wikipedia.
“It trails Finland in technology.”
Almost everyone does. I’m not kidding. Finns were able to do things like pay for carwashes using their cell phones to plug into a wall jack to deduct from their bank accounts about 15 years ago.
Interesting that you bring up Thomas More - the man who burned folks at the stake for no less than holding on to what the Word of God states in English.
What goes around comes around...
I used to be contemptuous of Pravda. Now I get it.
Wishful thinking from the left. The truth is that Putin is pulverizing this administration and NWO nearly everywhere.
LOL. Dropping bombs on 7th century animals does not make a world power.
Bold faced lie. The Russian economy is nearly twice South Korea’s.
Russian GDP: $2.097 trillion.
South Korean GDP: $1.305 Trillion.
Last I read Russia, the world’s largest country, had an economy the size of Italy.
There’s your problem. Not a reliable source. Might as well use Wikipedia.
Blame the messenger all you want but the pitiful state of Russia’s kleptocratic petrostate economy has been widely reported.
“Russia hosted the Olympics, punched Georgia in the nose, took back the Crimea, invaded Ukraine”
I sense an agenda here.
Re: “The Russian economy is nearly twice South Korea’s.”
The data is a complete jumble.
The World Bank and United Nations report 2014 numbers, which precede the crash in oil prices and the Russian Ruble.
The IMF and CIA report 2015 numbers, which are wildly distorted because of the Ruble crash.
Even trying to make sense of it by using PPP numbers (Purchase Power Parity) looks crazy.
In 2015, Russia’s “Nominal” GDP (measured in Rubles) is less than one third of its “PPP” GDP, which is a huge difference.
What’s your source, Putin?
I heard the sanctions are even slowing down Putin’s theft.
Ask yourself “Why is the Boston Globe putting down Russia?” I believe it is the early stages of beating the war drum. Since Russia has more nukes, and since we may not launch our nukes in retaliation, depending on who is giving the orders, we could be looking at at an American multidecamegadeath situation, this year or next.
What? No “Camelot High”?
Those all sound like wins to me!
Who was the Finn who designed/built their phone?
Yeah, Putin was stupid enough to let us store all his Uranium. The moron.
Well, around 85% of us have got to go, so you’re probably right.
They do lots more than drop bombs and you will not realize the damage they have done until its over.
According to the sports hooligans headline I was expecting a sucker score/s.
