When traditionally neutral outlet The Economist says Russia is the economic loser in this, you know it's bad for Russia.
It's a good writeup (as one would expect) but Ukraine isn't in a great spot -- the reason they're better off than Russia is because Russia is a complete clusterfuck.
It's not, but the stuff that they talk about the super smart things Ukrainians are doing to retool their economy during the war is really amazing.
Well while they're every large, they're essentially eating into their reserves all the time. So they can amass more things than Ukraine... for now. At the cost of any possible future for Russia basically.
Russia will be fixing this clusterfuck of their economy for decades after Putin drops, even if it was just of old age.
The Economist isn't neutral. Quite the opposite: they pride themselves on being opinionated. They might seem neutral only because those opinions regularly cross the traditional US left/right divide (e.g., they were one of the mainstream news outlets talking about Biden's diminishing faculties long before his meltdown).
Their op ed section, yes. Their news and investigative articles, no. They are well-known for their factual reporting that tends to be free from bias.
Most major media outlets have op ed sections. That really is not what people are talking about when they call a news source a neutral outlet.
