Russian companies that repair military equipment would refuse new orders because the Russian army does not pay its bills. However, the Kremlin already has an answer ready and seems to be planning to extend state control over private companies.On June 30, a bill was introduced in the State Duma that would allow the Kremlin to take “special economic measures” that would allow the government to force private companies to provide supplies for Russian military operations.“The bill prohibits Russian companies from refusing to carry out orders from the Russian government related to Russian military operations” Soon Russians will understand what it is to live under Putin dicatorship. Russians are slaves from Putin. They have to fight and getting killed because Putin wants that. Companies have to work for free because Putin wants that. More and more Russians try to escape the country. They prefer the bad, decadent West.
It looks like stealing the grain and shipping it via sea -- is not going very well for Russia. Turkey seizes Russian ship carrying ‘stolen’ Ukrainian grain Kremlin denies owning the cargo despite boasting of the ‘first ship’ to leave occupied territory https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/05/ukraine-russia-turkey-ship-grain-stolen
Russian Prime Minister admits to “certain slump” in Russian economy https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/07/4/7356337/
The big story there is that Turkey is actually helping the west. As we know, they like to help Russia on odd numbered days. I can only assume that as part of getting them to support Sweden and Finland entering NATO, that there were some other things thrown in to sweeten the deal. Whatever. Turkey is a snake as I have said many times over.
Russians were all "we can do McDonalds". No, you can't. McD is not the huge company that it is because it produces some hamburgers. It is the supply chain, logistics, service controls, consistency etc. etc.
The Russians pretend they can do everything. They can but it is always a prehistorical version of what they want to copy. Watch the big success of Lada, that closed the factory already after 4 days. In almost any industry Russian cannot continue without technoloy from the West. And with the actual brain drain it will even become worse than it was expected to be. All smart, educated Russians try to leave the country. They understand that there is no future in Russia anymore for them. Living under a still growing surpression. No freedom to speak or to have an own opinion. Putin decides what you can still do an what not. The list of what you caanot anymore is 1000 times longert than the list of things you still can do. Russia becomesa modern version of a concentration camp. Putin makes new laws on a daily basis, that make Russians just slaves from him and the oligarchs. He now wants to gather all possible information from all Russians, just like China did.
