The source is some random site that adds more than a trillion to the usual estimate because of the “informal economy”. So they claim Russia has a trillion dollar corruption/black market lol.
I understand critical support for Russia, but all this uncritical support with zero critical thinking is lame.
Russia is a fascist reactionary dictatorship. Just because they oppose the US doesn’t mean everything else they do is good as well.
