The ruble to dollar is nearly the same as in December, 2021.

The sanction war has minimal effect on Russia and devastated Europe and contributed to our 40-year high in inflation.

The sanction war yet another epic fail by the Biden regime but only someone as dumb as you and your neocon buddies keep celebrating it.

Russia selling off its limited foreign currency reserves to make up for lost European revenue?

that’s like running your engine off the battery when the alternator dies ... eventually you run out of power, and everything stops

another brilliant move by Vlady “4D Chess” Putin!! LOL

Every day that oil drops, it’s like a boa constrictor around Russia’s neck.

You are sadly and grossly mistaken. Russia’s markets are closed. The second they open, the economy will collapse as money leaves there.

It is simply bleeding today. They need oil between $80-85 a barrel to break even. It’s below that now. So, Russia is not turning a profit.

They are a couple of months away from a completely controlled economy.

No, Russia seems fine if you are in-country. That is going to start getting worse. Slowly…then all of a sudden.

And look at how the oil gets to China. It is literally two pipes.

In the event of a war, those would be gone in the first hour.

The two of them suck at infrastructure.

DoughtyOne, it appears you are 0-2 in the last two globalist wars. Frankly, you haven’t been the same since Da’ Shrub led you astray.

You’re about as accurate of my support for the schrub, as you are with regard to Russia/China/Iran/North Korea.

So I fail to see how this Russian move is a “liberation”. Sounds more like an occupation to me.

Kinda like how Germany “liberated” Warsaw in 1939.


There is nothing left to occupy. This is just more scorched earth destruction in the finest Russian Nazi themed traditions.

You have the gall to post a meme of a hammer and sickle bear on an American Conservative forum as you cheer Putin’s neo-Soviet imperial aspirations.

You Russian trolls should be zotted.

>> That’s a nice image of a communist bear guarding a gulag

Very “American” and very “conservative”.

At least they are not trying to hide it. And make no mistake, they would LOVE to see America burn.

The idiot paleo and alt-right cucks who join the Russian troll chorus are just that. Useful idiots. The first to the gulag.

Russia is a better shape than it was before the sanction war started.

According to the IMF, Russia is headed for positive growth by next year:

Russia no longer needs to do business with the West. It is one of the few countries has the resources to be self-sufficient. China and India are buying as much oil as Russia can give it.

Russian Derangement Syndrome has destroyed your ability to reason.

Years of banking teaches me that Russia is screwed is oil doesn’t rise. A lot.

They export at a significant discount. They are spending their treasury on weapons from their Allies.

That economy is not sustainable. Especially when all of their western parts are unavailable for maintenance and repair.

Your relatives are lying to you.

Funny. You post form Dubai source published in US in English.

Just one point form this article.

Expectations for weaker energy revenue were also weighing on the Russian currency after the central bank cut its Urals oil price forecast on Friday.===

Central bank cutting oil prices? Very fanny)))...

"Bakhmut has been liberated It's over"

That's hysterical. Here's a map from a couple of hours ago.
