You want to go back to stone age when you trade pigs against banana? Money is just a medium. Money is a piece of paper with some numbers printed on it. Nothing more.
That's precisely my point, it doesn't matter if the rubles is worthless in make believe chart or not, it's just a medium.
Trust me, Russia will return to the “good” days of USSR where people stand in long queue before shops to buy banana and bread.
We will see, the USSR was glorious in its great times during the 70-80s.
Oh yes we will see. I myself saw the last days of East Germany. Remember they were the most richest among communist eastern bloc. People stood in line for banana. They stood in line to buy a book. I myself stood in long line waiting to be served in a good restaurant in East Berlin. The foods were expensive however good for pigs (for western standards). I can’t imagine the foods for poorer countries in Russia, Poland.
When the American order brits to leave EU, euro was doomed. EU sanctions on Russian oil and gas will create hyper inflation in Euro zone and hurt Yuan export as well. Yuan eventally will have to devaluate, but Eurozone will be in deep recession for many years to come. Russia will survive since sanctions on oil and gas never works due to strong liquid global markets. Americans knows this, but EU fringe liberals/green parties certainly gullible enough to fall for the US democratic outcries. So far, none of the emerging markets have signed up to Russian Sanctions.
Vietnamese as an overall people always feel insecured and rebellious toward whoever helped Vietnam. That included China and Russia. US is next. I can safely foretell this.
