Was directed at U.S. since shale/fracking production costs are higher.
That's what they write. There is an opinion (albeit in Russian press) that Russia can endure cheap oil longer than both USA frackers and Saudi princes. On the other hand, when oil was less than $20 in the 80-s USSR disappeared.

Oil prices did not cause the collapse of the USSR if that's what you're implying.
It was one of the factors though.

While the collapse of the Soviet Union can be traced to the cost of Space Race, Arms Race, Chernobyl clean-up, War in Afghanistan and most importantly planned economy. OPEC's internal strife and the fall of oil prices were basically nails in the USSR's coffin.

Or rather the idiocy of the economic liberalization policies undertaken by Gorbachev coupled with Glasnost which had emboldened separatist movements. China transitioned from state socialism to state capitalism without collapsing and the USSR could've followed a similar route had there been a will. Even as late as the August Putsch things might've been turned around, but alas, Yeltsin and Gorbachev triumphed and with it came the death warrant of the Soviet state.

Praise Allah for sending us Coronavirus and guiding the Saudis to a warpath with Russia.
I feel like the virus is just useful pretext. Saudi Arabia would have launched that price war against Russia anyway because their current interests don't align.

Was directed at U.S. since shale/fracking production costs are higher. Cheaper ruble helps Rus supply side (such as Owlcat).
Hurts oil, huge boost to natural gas prices. Less oil drilling means less natural gas as a byproduct(APG), and there's currently a natural gas glut.
Definitely not directed at U.S.

Nah, you've just had bad elites and it was a long time coming.

I hope that Putin's successor won't be the Federation's equivalent to Khrushchev. If only comrade Lebed was still alive, there would be no reason to worry about it...

Latest goals have been a real treat, do we still not know the next one? Is it magic duels? Tell me it's magic duels.

Mister Familiar What will happen to /pfg/ when the kickstarter ends? Do you think Valerie shit posting and monk posting will keep us going?
It, like this thread, will probably dip in activity once the Kickstarter is up, to be roused only when Owlcat posts dev updates.
You and Valanon have strange power, but it alone'll only do so much. Especially once everyone's fury at Baldur's Gate 3 degrades into dull loathing, if it hasn't already.

Conserve your energy, Pink Eye. You'll need it once vanilla WotR ships in a year-and-a-half.

And there's still the Furry Election Fallout to look forward to!
