You really must be naive or a fool. Russia’s economy is doing quite well as Europe and the United States are likely headed for a steep recession. Wait for winter.
And what is it that you think Russia want? To be the laughing stock of the civilized world? Mission accomplished! Decimated economy? On track. Install puppet government in Ukraine? Abject failure.

I’m neither naive nor a fool. I’m just knowledgeable enough to know that facts disagree with your armchair analysis.
As the Russian invasion of Ukraine enters into its fifth month, a common narrative has emerged that the unity of the world in standing up to Russia has somehow

Enjoy your inflation and the reality Russia will fight as long as they choose, while the United States burns billions. Wait until winter. The military industrial complex always needs a war.

Just shouting "Propaganda" every time somebody posts something that doesn't fit your narrative doesn't actually make it propaganda. It does make you appear like an incompetent juvenile though.

Despite damaging Western sanctions imposed on Moscow in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine, Russia's economy appears to be weathering the storm better

Oh no! The US is spending BILLIONS of dollars! The US has spent less in 6 months to support Ukraine than it spent every month for 20 years in Afghanistan. At the rate Russia is losing tanks and armored equipment, they're going to be fighting with bows and arrows before the US even starts to spend real money to support Ukraine.

I'm going to believe the 118 page manuscript that's full of numbers and statistics, but you go ahead and believe a blurb on the internet that quotes an IMF spokesman who provided zero statistics or numbers.
Note, oil prices have fallen further since either piece was written, and are only marginally higher than in February, which hurts the Russian economy even further.
Cool. If he would stop posting lunatic conspiracy theories, I wouldn't call him a conspiracy theory nutjob. I'm sorry if that upsets your delicate sensibilities.
It is not an apology to layer insult upon insult.
According to this, if someone notes a post as off-topic, unproductive and denigrating, they must have "delicate sensibilities".

If so, you might benefit from some.
No. If somebody gets bent out of shape about a conspiracy theory toting nutjob getting called out for being a fringe lunatic when he posts a conspiracy theory laden post, then I would say they need a bit tougher skin.

Here's an example of Propaganda wars at work.
Back in March "Ukraine officials" claimed Russia was using widely-banned butterfly mines.
This was decried in Western headlines at the time.
However, a well-known German news organisation, Deutsche Welle, then de-bunked this after finding no evidence at all of their use - not one picture, social media post, or similar report.
Fast forward several months and now social media is flooded with actual reports and images of thousands of Butterfly mines appearing over civilian neighbourhoods in Russian-controlled Donetsk.
While this featured prominently in Russian news, perhaps as the alleged perpetrator is the Ukraine side, it was mostly ignored in Western media.
Asked who might be responsible for dropping the mines, Human Rights Watch stated "we are not commenting... at this point since it is impossible to independently verify or attribute the reporting."
The UDF speculated the Russian/Separatist side peppered their own people with mines.
"British Intelligence" may agree as today they flipped the script:
"Russia likely trying to use ‘deeply controversial, indiscriminate’ mines in Ukraine: UK intelligence"
But reading into the article... "The U.K. Ministry of Defence didn’t cite sources in its intelligence report..."
Taking their cue, the Daily Mail gets in on the action. Only now the Russians are not "likely trying", they ARE using Butterfly mines:
"Russian forces are using deadly butterfly mines in Donbas that maim children who mistake them for toys, Britain’s MoD warns"
However, the Daily Mail article also makes no mention of where and when and cites no source than the UK MOD's speculation.
Russia has likely tried to deploy “deeply controversial, indiscriminate” anti-personnel mines as Moscow ramps up its assaults on Ukraine, according to the United Kingdom’s defense ministry. …
Russian soldiers are setting down 'indiscriminate' and controversial butterfly landmines that pose specific risks to children who can confuse them for toys, the MoD has warned

Blatant propaganda.
Hard to believe anyone falls for it
Again, just shouting "Propaganda" every time somebody posts something that doesn't fit your narrative doesn't actually make it propaganda. But don’t worry, nobody falls for your act anymore.
