The Russian economy could lose “billions of rubles” after a destroyed dam in the Siberian region of Buryatia caused a river to burst its banks and damage a key transit railway, according to a local Russian official.
Titles like this are cancer since they intentionally mislead. It’s “a billion rubles”, thus tens of millions $. Pretty insignificant.
Classic click bait title. Article doesn’t even state which dam burst. Railroad traffic is suspended which means it will be back to operational once the water recedes. Garbage title garbage article.
Of course because there’s absolutely no issue with tracks that were under water. The foundation is just fine.
What’s a billion rubles these days? $2.50?
so a Russian dam fucked itself and a railroad? nice BOGO
Anything which hurts the Russian economy is a good thing.
I guess they know what it’s like now. At least a little bit.
Not even close. The people who matter in terms of political power are muscovites. And in Moscow, everything looks fine and beautiful and modern and convenient. You wouldn’t know a war was raging on except for the propaganda. Yes, I know some drone attacks have disrupted that, but not nearly enough.
Fuck ‘em.
