Wars doesnt harm every country. i think some of the country gets benefited because of it.

And what are the benefits that other countries get from war, if not the chaos, fear, and trembling of some citizens, which can cause them to have some health issues? Even if a country does win a war, it doesn't make the economy better during that time. Things don't normally work well for that period until war is over, and there might even be some restrictions during that period, which can make some workers stop working, some companies stop production, and short down at that moment. If war lingers for so long, it can cause more harm to the economy of that country.

That war is a purely destructive process, no one argues. But there is a more important indicator - the conclusions and reaction.
In technical terms, it is not so much the errors in the system that are critical as the lack of reaction of the system to these errors.
I.e. it is very important - what will be the reaction of the world, in order to prevent the recurrence of similar problems in the future. Because in addition to the huge number of human casualties and destruction of entire regions in Ukraine, this war has created real global problems in the world economy. It is true that this is already a topic of economic terrorism, but the world must develop solutions against it as well.

Not really war... but sanctions! Sanctions have caused issues and continue affecting global economy in the most negative way. Only people with room temperature IQ still believe that sanctions actually cause any significant effect on Russia and will stop Putin.

They also thought the same in the USSR, puffing up their cheeks and talking from all sockets about the "decay of the West" and the collapse of imperialism tomorrow. And they explained the same way - a strong economy, a powerful ruler and the Central Committee of the CPSU. The whole world envies the USSR. 40% of resources are in the USSR. The people and the party are united !...
Shall I tell you how this show ended? I personally watched it inside the USSR. In this case, even I will declare - the USSR economy was more self-sufficient, it produced, albeit not very high quality but a very wide range. Science, education (poor, but massively), factories and plants even worked. And what is modern Russia? A pathetic parody of the USSR. The USSR degraded much slower than the Russian Federation. So don't tell me tales about the USSR and Russia

USSR didn't collapse because of sanctions. You can look it up anywhere you like. I guess that is the reason why you're not mentioning the source?

The real reason USSR collapsed was Mikhail Gorbachev. I'm not sure if he was a CIA agent or just was paid to do what he did but he was the real reason USSR collapsed. Yes, in some parts of USSR (like the Baltic States) strong national movements existed. But not in Ukraine, Belarus etc. where the politicians let alone most common folks didn't want independence from Russia and didn't know what to do with it. Both Kravchuk and Shushkevich were shocked when they heard it for the first time as they only came to Belavezhskaya Pushcha to sign new agreements on gas deliveries to the republics, Yeltsin granting independence to their countries came out of the blue. What economic sanctions have to do with it?

Ok, let's assume you're right !

Then 3 questions:
1. When were sanctions imposed against the USSR ? And how did they affect the economy ? And a couple of words about the general standard of living of the USSR population, economy ?
2. What steps specifically aimed at the collapse of the USSR did Gorbachev take. Provided that he initiated reforms aimed at economic acceleration, glasnost and democratization of state and socio-political life. Aimed at improving the lives of the population after a prolonged economic downturn.
3. what do you say about the fact that Gorbachev tried to preserve the USSR, and these attempts were "annulled" by the election of Boris Yeltsin on May 29, 1990, which put an end to the process of the collapse of the USSR ?

Only plz facts, because here it will not be possible to push fantasies, because I lived at that time, and observed the processes from inside the USSR

I'll just leave it here - it's an assessment of the problems of the USSR before it collapsed:

- declining rates of economic growth;
- chronic shortages of food and consumer goods;
- the growing scientific and technical lag of the USSR from Western countries;
- exhaustion of the possibilities of extensive economy;

Did Gorbachev do all this?

OMG, you're hilarious! Grin

I don't even have to respond because you're debunking your own lies literally! Grin

Neither your "assessment of problems" list nor the article you mentioned (at least Google translated version) doesn't contain any mention of Western sanctions being the reason of USSR collapsing. It reminds me of police reading you your rights to not testify against yourself but you're still self-incriminating Grin

Tell me, are you retarded?

I can't even add anything, you've done it all yourself.... sanctions don't work! Grin

Anyways, you still have time to join the military and go meet your heroic compatriots in the eastern front. I know you're too cowardly to do it, right?
