You really think these government funded new agencies will tell you the truth? This is just government propaganda to deceive its own people to believe Russia is losing, so they can continue to provide money and weapons to Ukraine. If they are telling the truth, people will question their government why waste money on the war will never win.

Russia’s economy is the fifth biggest in the world. The US will do diddly squat if Moscow uses a nuke. Moscow won’t use a nuke outside Russia because of its BRICS partners. Hodge has connections in the arms industry and I think he’s a director in a company that supplies body armour and other non lethal equipment. He’s got a vested interest in keeping the war going

The economy of the US state of California is larger than the entire economy of Russia. The economy of the US state of Texas is about as large as the entire Russian economy. This is not including the other 48 US states. If you don't believe me, please do a little research. Furthermore, the economies of France, Germany and the UK are larger than Russia. Japan also has a larger economy than Russia's. Russia's economy is ranked 11th in the world. - If you do some research, you will realize that what I have written is correct.

Russia's economy is smaller than Germany's France's or Great Britain's. In fact, Russia's economy is smaller than the economy of just the US state of California. The US state of Texas has an economy that is about as large as the economy of all of Russia and this is not including the other 48 US sates. If you don't believe what I wrote, please do a little research and you will realize that it is true.
