video is a bit of a vague ramble but the premise is fair - Russia has withstood everything the US threw at them like it was almost nothing.
economies of US "allies" have been sacrificed in the process, mainly in Europe.

Russian Ruble/U.S. Dollar since Feb 24, 2022:

You can guarantee the 1 star voter never watched the posted video and firmly believes Ukraine is going to win this war, one drone grenade at a time until the Russians are all dead.
Its actually kind of funny to see the same old, same old, play out yet again.
Anyone for a bit more Russia Russia Russia?

hu hummm so what you and the dickhead in the video is saying, by no trade they get more wealth, so basically they are better off then they were before?
LOL
Where did you think the down votes and no comments came from.

1. Russia is not besieged. Despite NATO attempting to put Russia into that position before the break out operation last year.
2. The problem with seiges is you can't PRODUCE your own goods. Russia can produce everything it needs. It's own food, it's own energy, it's own weapons, armor, munitions and gear, This is not even including everything else it has in abundance that Europe does not.
3. Russia exporting is not a means of survival, it's a bonus to make extra of this thing we call money. It so resource rich it can transcend money and do away with it entirely, it just wouldn't be trading with other nations if it chose to do so, unless it found partners willing to participate in direct exchange. (Barter) Which is less flexible than money but still a perfectly valid form of trade. Money is just a replacement for skills or materials you don't have. If you have the skills and materials you actually don't need it.

Point 2 is a crucial one that so many people overlook, especially in the west where we've become quite rich from having the developing world make so much of our shit while we export a lot of virtual goods for high profits. In wartime economics, physical goods become much more important, as we've seen with Russia's ability to scoff at the full-on economic war thrown at them by US/G7/EU. It's exposed the (partially) hollow nature of western economies.

Russia exported more nickel to EU in Q3 of 2023 than the entire 2021?
Crikey
srsly though I dunno what that data's supposed to prove & your comment is quite irrelevant to any of the data, as well as being unsubstantiated.

It just shows how absurd it looks. Less trade, economy goes up.

"Less trade"
what?
you've only showed figures for EU on select items. That's not "less trade", it's cherry picking.
Then you're drawing a conclusion from that.... and using that half-baked conclusion to call others deceptive .... tsk tsk tsk
do some real homework & then talk.
