russia kinda embraced autarkism after 2014

Food wise yeah

russia is stuck as a majorly resource exporting country

for example they became net exporter of agricultural products after many decades of soviet union which imported grain

yeah

it started lessening the reliance

so you agree on my point

Russia can be autarky right now

russia is building their own chips and such but obviously production is all outsourced

but it's simply not profitable for them

so they dont do it

and the chips are special snowflakes nobody uses

1. reduce consumption in society

2. adopt based neo-spartan social policies

they bought an ARM license a few years ago though

3. become a chad russian empire

boom

the russians

have their own chipsets

for pcs rn

but they dont have

graphics cards

I don't think the government would survive proper autarky if they tried to do it immediately. Gradual lessening of dependence and increasing the standing/influence of the state internationally seems better

This doesn't mean the food stuff or whatever is bad

self-sufficiency with water and food is the absolute essentials any country should have I think

Then again it's hard to measure self sufficiency in food

If you look at export vs. imports you don't look at calories

Nor potential calories that could be grown on cash crops

yes i need bannans

so make

aritifical

Then there's waste

bannana farms

well I do think they usually do the we have x people they need y calories a day, so we need z

or just the statistical well people x potatoes a year

well thats when shit is lit really

like you just want to survivie

otherwise you can have diverse nutritious diet

if britain in 1930s can figure out that they are self-sufficient we can do it today

noone can handle economy like us Iranians <:troll:795676641450917888>

although granted people are getting dumber
