65.66 rubles to a dollar.
Rubble strongest in 2 years.
Oh the western propaganda

Didn't some trolls in here claimed that economy of Russia has collapsed and the Rouble will be in a free fall?

You lot forgot the Russian central bank increased its key rates to 20% and invested massively to prevent the collapse of the ruble but as a consequence of destroying the economic growth... Forecasts predict a 10% recession for Russia in 2022.... meanwhile sanctions will take effect on the Russian economy and soon with gas and oil embargo it's going to get funny.

The EU oil embargo is unlikely to work, Hungary will veto it...

Russia and China is no camp. Its just China. The difference in power projection is so gigantic, that russia simply plays no role

The incoming oil embargo will hit Putin to the nerves. Russia sells half of oil to EU. China and India can’t absorb the surplus.

What would stop china to simply take it? Russia has no functional military.

Russia also is not Eurasia heartland. It has no people, poor economy and currently is sealed of from Europe



Russia has economy smaller than spain.


Spain or Botswana could send mercs to Mali, Libya or Syria too.

What's stopping any power from taking over Russia? Because they have a strong military unlike what you said about no functional military. Russia is using only a portion of its force in this war and Russia has not yet mobilized. At least this is according to Russia itself and most international estimates of it. Russia also has many thousands of nuclear weapons in case you forgotten. No power dares to touch Russia's actual land to try and take anything from them. Not China, not USA, not anyone or any alliance.

Russia is literally Mackinder's heartland. Eastern Europe is Mackinder's pivot areas.

Russia's natural material wealth is many times larger than Spain's economy. While Russia's total nominal economy is small but if we account for its entire known reserves of natural wealth, it is already probably equal or exceeding Europe since raw material and commodities will only ever become relatively more expensive until science can create useful valuable things from less useful e.g. from lead to gold basically. Until then, Russia's true power even if we ignore size and military, is very strong. They have nukes to protect their interests and their ownership of their land.

So what? It is a strategic move at the right time and in the right place. No repo needed.



Today It is down to 14% and that is only 4% higher than before thr conflict.

Russian economy is in a surplus. It is manageable unlike those of the US or EU with a runaway inflation.

Australian dollar is now in a free fall.

If Europe truly goes with energy embargo for years or decades, the only winners are the oil producers. Europe loses out at least as much as Russia if it chooses so. Russia simply sells to others and they will find a buyer for every molecule of oil they produce since everyone not only wants to buy oil, they need to.

By doing that Europe is only doing the US a big favor while it hurts itself and seemingly hurts Russia. Basically Russia is the shop selling products that everyone needs to survive and Europe is telling the shop owner it will not buy food but rather find whatever is on the ground or go to another store that sells for 1.5x the price. It only hurts Europe. The other producers are going to love this and the USA is a producer too.

Well it's good for Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE and so on. Every other major player is rushing to secure energy. Either way it's imperialist powers going at each other. Ukraine stuck between two powers and abused.

Highlights the problem of EU as a political group. The veto and mutual consensus way of policy making will limit EU forever
