Russia’s economy : still dependent on oil
After two years of recession caused by lower oil prices and western sanctions, Russia’s recovery benefits Vladimir Putin as he seeks a new term in office. However, this improvement won’t last long without structural reforms. EURACTIV.fr reports.
Russia’s economic recovery is timely for Vladimir Putin, following a 15% peak in 2015, inflation fell last year to 3%. As for growth, it is slowly recovering after a -3.7% dive in 2015, with a 1.5% growth in 2017 that should be followed by another 1.8% expansion in 2018.
Rating agencies raised the country’s credit rating at the end of February and forecast a stable future. S&P’s rating for the country, therefore, upgraded it from the so-called “junk” or speculative category. Behind this return to stability, there is a strong link between the rouble and oil: as the rise of the price of black gold is the main reason for this upgrade.
“The situation plays in the country’s favour, looser fiscal policies allowed it to implement child benefits, aid for low-income households and other benefits facilitated by the rise in oil prices,” said Dominique Fruchter, an economist at the French Insurance Agency for External Trade (Coface).
Dependency on oil
If the rise in oil prices gives Vladimir Putin a certain leeway, Russians are now expecting more from him on the economic front.
Even if he is as popular as ever, the president cannot rely on the success of Crimea’s annexation or on the strong economic performance of his first two mandates (2000-2008), where growth reached around 7%.
“He still believes he has a certain margin, but not forever. Russians are tired of his international activism, he will now have to act on the economic front,” said Fruchter. “Prices should not drop again. If they stay at the current level, he will have the means to reform, especially the manufacturing sector.”
The next few years will depend on the country’s ability to free itself from its dependency on hydrocarbon revenues, as they currently generate 30% of the country’s GDP and 50% of the state budget. Moreover, public accounts show little deficit, according to Coface, the deficit will fall to 1.5% in 2018, however, when excluding hydrocarbon revenues, public deficit would rise to 7% of the GDP.
All that’s left to see now is whether Vladimir Putin will take advantage of his next six years as president to implement major economic reforms. In his 1 March speech, he showed that social and economic reforms were far from being his main priority, concentrating more on military and strategic issues. And the rise in oil prices will most likely not push the Kremlin towards reforms.
Risky environment for business
In terms of risk assessment, Coface gives Russia a B, which means the risk is quite high for the business world.
The business environment in the country is marked by state interventionism and corruption. Since his rise to power, Putin has developed a new kind of capitalism: state capitalism, 70% of the Russian economy nowadays is state owned. “When company heads are following the state, all is well, but if they don’t, then they can be prosecuted,” said Fruchter.
Such an environment causes the distrust of investors both inside and outside the country in regards to the sustainability of the Russian economy.

IEA: Russia’s oil output to reach its peak in 2020
http://vestnikkavkaza.net/news/IEA-Russia%E2%80%99s-oil-output-to-reach-its-peak-in-2020.html

This article is an utter lie. Oil and natural gas does not account for 30% of Russia’s GDP. The mineral and hydrocarbon extraction industry (resource rents) accounts for 10.3% of Russia’s GDP:
https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.TOTL.RT.ZS?locations=RU
So oil and gas account for less than 10% and are probably around 7% of Russia’s GDP.
The consolidated national budget (the actual federal budget and not the narrow definition that is used sometimes) of Russia depends on oil and natural gas taxes to the level of 17% as of 2016:
https://www.awaragroup.com/blog/russian-economy-2014-2016-the-years-of-sanctions-warfare/
At one time the oil and gas taxes accounted for 50% of the narrow budget and this has turned into an all time myth. Just as the share of oil and gas has diminished in the GDP so has their share in the tax revenues.
Another point that escapes all the Russia hater monkeys is this. What is wrong with the Russian government taxing resource rents and giving the citizens an income tax break? What law of nature requires the government to tax personal incomes at all costs and to give tax breaks to resource rents? There is no such law. Russians pay a flat 13% income tax.
Another piece of epic idiocy by western “experts” is that they only look at Russia’s export profile to evaluate its economic diversity. Since Russia exports a lot of natural resources they ASSUME that it is undeveloped. This morons should also look at the Russian imports profile. Russia imports nowhere near enough products that could explain the level of its domestic offerings. That is, Russia has a vast array of domestic production and does not need to import. These western “experts” missed the detail that commodity dependent banana republics have to import everything that they do not produce themselves.

The US uses about 19 MBPD and produces about 10. Russia uses about 3 mbpd and produces about 10. Therefore the US is a net importer and Russia a net exporter.
That is the important data and the implications should be obvious.

President Xi was reelected in China and their presidential term limits have been legally abolished allowing him to stay on after his next term finishes. This is great news for China and the world as Xi is one of the most effective and rational leaders China has seen in modern history. It would be great for China to have Xi in power when the energy crises begin and the global financial system collapses.

Davy, if I grow enough food for myself to eat for 1/2 a year and have to buy the food for the rest of the year I have to produce something to pay for that personal energy.
OTOH if I grow enough food for myself and 4 others I can sell the excess food energy and buy lots of stuff.
Sometimes you have to make things simple. When the US exports refined products, they are selling energy they have to replace by importing more energy. They are selling the “refining” as value added, its true, but refining also takes energy.
The fact is that if all the countries we import from cut us off we would not have enough energy to power our society, even if we stop exporting value added energy.
OTOH Russia can cut off selling their energy. It will hurt their revenue and thus hurt their country, but they will have plenty to continue to power their society.
So which country is in the better position?
These complex things at the core are really quite simple. For instance before the 2008 financial crisis some very complex trading was going on. It made it look like everything was hunky dory but when it all fell out it was quite simple. There were precious few real assets supporting lots of imaginary assets. But before it fell everyone could point to how safe it was, how much money was to be made etc.
When we start down the energy cliff it will become simple. Those countries that have more oil than they use can hold the rest hostage. Simple.
There are currently 52 net exporting countries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_net_oil_exports
Saudi Arabia, Russia and Iraq are at the top of the list. One of those countries has a big army, lots of new weapons, and nukes. Is it any wonder the propaganda machine against Russia is running over time.
Heinberg once said that one of the ways Peak Oil might play out was “Last Man Standing’. It seems that is the chosen game and if played out I suspect Russia will be Last Man Standing, but probably not for long. The planet in the end will be the last man standing.

“Kanyon is designed to attack coastal areas, destroying cities, naval bases, and ports. The mega-bomb would also generate an artificial tsunami that would surge inland, spreading radioactive contamination with the advancing water. To make matters worse there are reports the warhead is “salted” with the radioactive isotope Cobalt-60. Contaminated areas would be off-limits to humanity for up to 100 years.

“Kanyon is designed to get around American ballistic missile defenses, primarily the Ground-Based Interceptor missiles based in Alaska and California. Although GBI is meant to counter small numbers of intercontinental ballistic missiles from rogue countries such as Iran and North Korea, Russia wants to make it abundantly clear that it could still penetrate U.S. defenses even if they were scaled up to deal with larger, more powerful nuclear arsenals.”
“Fifty years ago, the streets of Leningrad taught me one thing: If a fight’s inevitable, you must strike first,” Putin said
Putin is hoping his new weapons will return us to an era of MAD, but he understands that the idiots in Washington are quite mad and he is determined that Russia will be last man standing even if he has to resort to first strike.

If the US wipes out Moscow (best defended city in the world btw) and Russia wipes out NYC and DC, both countries will cease to exist as single territorial states and simply will fall apart. Inhabitants of all major cities in Russia and America will descend in total chaos as everybody will try to flee from these coffins. Both countries will de facto become ungovernable.
Both governments know this. This should give some certainty that MAD still works, at least between major powers, despite all the sable rattling, talk about first strikes and martial cruise-missile videos.
And if not, it was nice to have known you all. Human life is a “finite resource” anyway.

“India And Pakistan: Inching Toward Their Final War?”
https://tinyurl.com/y8onuzyf
“Both India and Pakistan have between 120 and 140 nuclear warheads, according to estimates provided by the Arms Control Association. However a report produced in 2015 by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the Stimson Center asserts that Pakistan may be outpacing India in terms of its nuclear stockpile, and may possess 350 nuclear warheads in the next five to ten years. A 2016 SIPRI report confirmed the assessment that Pakistan has more nuclear warheads than India. However, what distinguishes the two neighbors’ nuclear-weapons programs from each other is not so much the pace of production or the size of the stockpiles, but their radically different nuclear doctrines. The major difference between the two countries’ nuclear doctrines is that while India has renounced first use of nuclear weapons, Pakistan has refused to do so by reserving its right to use nuclear weapons in the face of India’s conventional superiority. So far, uncertainty regarding Pakistan’s nuclear threshold is the principal factor preventing a major conflagration in South Asia. Pakistan’s refusal to disavow first use of nuclear weapons, and its emphasis on amassing tactical nuclear weapons and short-range missiles as a corollary of its nuclear doctrine, can be explained in light of its conventional-force inferiority vis-à-vis India. It is in fact a mirror image of the American nuclear doctrine as applied to central Europe during the Cold War. The United States refused to disavow first use of nuclear weapons, and deployed tactical nuclear weapons in central Europe on a large scale, because of NATO’s presumed inferiority in terms of conventional power vis-à-vis that deployed by the Warsaw Pact.”
“If a full-scale war erupts, at some point Pakistan, unable to counter superior Indian conventional forces, could resort to battlefield nuclear weapons, as its doctrine proclaims. While India subscribes to a no-first-use doctrine, it has made it abundantly clear that it will massively retaliate against any use of battlefield nuclear weapons by Pakistan without making a distinction between tactical and strategic nuclear weapons. This strategy, as enunciated in a statement issued by the government of India on January 4, 2003, is designed to inflict unacceptable damage on the enemy.”
“India would hardly risk giving Pakistan the chance to carry out a massive nuclear strike after the Indian response to Pakistan using tactical nuclear weapons. In other words, Pakistani tactical nuclear weapon use would effectively free India to undertake a comprehensive first strike against Pakistan.” This is a very scary scenario. Pakistan’s overreliance on its nuclear deterrence, especially its refusal to subscribe to the no-first-use doctrine, when combined with its reckless support for terrorist groups attacking Indian military and civilian targets, could unintentionally usher in a nuclear winter – and spell doom not only for South Asia, but for a much wider area surrounding the subcontinent.”

When the offspring drop by for a visit, have you instilled in them the importance of utmost attention during the daily morning and evening ceremonies?
Are they able to recite, from memory, the allegiance to the flag? Or do you still need to mentor them further?
If/when they can recite the allegiance from memory, would you consider that to be a right of passage?
Do you have a backup flag, in the case of an extremely dire event, like God forbid, tatters?
What would be the correct procedure for laying the old flag to rest, under such horrific circumstances?
Do you have a special safe place to store the flag when you take it down at night, or during inclement weather? Or do you use it as a form of safety blanket when you sleep at night?
Thanks for your consideration,
David
