Russia has not made any domestic car since 20y. Putin is more focused on military and intimidation. Most cars in Russia are imported or assembled. Now Russia car industry and market is dead.

The continuing resolution will mostly keep spending levels frozen at the previous fiscal year’s levels, though it does include an extra $12 billion in aid for Ukraine—largely in line with Biden’s request for $11.7 billion earlier this month.

This new round of aid is intended to last through December. The $12 billion includes $3 billion in defense aid through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, $1.5 billion to replenish Pentagon stocks depleted by presidential drawdowns to provide weapons to Ukraine and other countries aiding Ukraine, $540 million to increase production of critical munitions to replace those sent to Ukraine, and up to $3.7 billion in presidential drawdown authority.

Aside from security assistance, the bill also includes $4.5 billion to support Ukraine’s national government.

Yes however thing becomes dangerous now. Zelinskki has filed the application to Nato, as response to Russia provocation. Ukraine officially asks for acceleration of the entry to the Nato.

I said a couple of post ago, if Russia do annex those territories, one of the way to deal with it is for Ukraine to file NATO membership, but as I said back then, this depends on whether or not Ukraine willing to give up (At least on the table) the land occupied by Russia. That's expected response by Zelenskyy

The Annexation would not change much to the ground situation, because the same nuclear problem exist, Russia will not nukee Ukraine because of the no-first use policy, it's because NATO response and it will literally blow back to Russia. You have to be foolish to think Putin wouldn't change its domestic policy to achieve his goal, which mean if he really do want to nuke Ukraine, he don't need to wait for annexing those territories first, he would have just go do it. And as I said before, annexing those territories is probably the most desperate move Putin have, because it literally tell everyone he does not have any mean to stop Ukrainian advance and have to put it into "special protection" which no one will actually care. If things goes Russia way, they would not speed up the annexation process like this.

West Germany and East Germany were carved up from Germany by the Allies after WW2 with Potsdam treaty. West Germany and East Germany were never at war.

What’s the inflation rate in Russia?

15-30% depends on items.

Electricity went up the lowest around 9%, otherwise everyday supermarket item went up ~15% and luxury item was the worse.
