    Well it's time for the BRICS- New World Order to come up with a default reserve currency or simply go back to gold as the reserve. It will be too chaotic for each country to trade in their respective currencies with the daily change in exchange rates.

      Ironically, these are the conditions in which life-changing money is made by those who remain calm, patient, and take controlled risks. Volatility goes both ways. The banks are in a big crisis. The mar-ket looks very shaky. The bigger the red candles, the bigger the green ones. I have made over $180k in the last 14 months by invest-ing through my FA.

    Oil revenues = price x volume. If russia is increasing oil prices by decreasing output volume, who cares. Their revenues are still down by 50% and their natural gas revenues are almost completely gone. The same kinda thing is true for their gdp. It doesnt matter if their gdp is flat, what matters is they are now wasting all their govt spending on tanks which just get destroyed in ukraine rather than spending it on infrastructure or education that is an investment in the future. Because of the freefall of the ruble, they had to raise interest rates to 12% which means no businesses can finance expansions and new businesses cant get started. None of this was ever going to be a quick fix, but it is going to destroy the russian economy for decades, especially if all the educated men who fled mobilization never return.. almost 2% of russias workforce is hiding overseas, and they are the most educated

      You need to first look at the size of the US and EU budget deficits, and then look at how they close. After last year, virtually no one other than Western countries is buying US debt anymore. They make loans to themselves, which leads to huge global inflation.
      No matter how Ukraine convinces us of the inefficiency of Russian weapons, its successes based on these weapons were much more convincing than the current ones based on NATO technology. As far as I know, Russia has a huge queue for new proven weapons.
      And at the expense of the lack of intimidation or fear of Russia - this is something clinical. Many people will not agree with you, for example, NATO is afraid to directly enter into conflict with Russia, but at the same time it encourages Ukrainians to go into meat grinders.

      @@1Know1tHurts Return? We’re talking about businesses that have not left and only lied about it. They changed their local brand name or are just working through different distributors. Don't pretend that these companies won't be fine without returning to Russia or it wouldnt be worse if they were ostracized by the rest of world. Especially their home countries. The current issue is that everyone can't identify those asshats. These companies have a lot more entities to worry about. You think that the war can just stop or Putin leaving will be the reason everyone accepts businesses returning to Russia. BS. Be realistic. It's easier to stop than it’ll be to start back up. People are delusional if they think the sanctions aren't working bc it’s about the long game. The ruble has become worthless outside of the country and the economy is on a continuous spiral down.

    The crashing Ruble and rising inflation are likely to hamper Putin's war effort in a number of ways.
    The Ruble's collapse will make it more difficult for Russia to import goods and services, which it needs to sustain its war effort. Russia is a major importer of food, energy, and other essential goods. The Ruble's collapse will make it more expensive for Russia to buy these goods, which could lead to shortages and disruptions.
    The Ruble's collapse and rising inflation could also lead to a recession in Russia. This would further weaken the Russian economy and make it more difficult for Putin to finance his war effort.

      the territorry of the russian federation is way larger than the US, and they have all the minerals required to build anything they want. also, unlike the US, they haven't shipped all their factories in china. I know you can figure this out...

      All Correct, except the oil prices were not impacted by tight supllies. The price of oil will perhapes not go above 100 USD again because Europe has made a strategic decision to turn to clean energy.

    To the point about "What's he going to do with all those Rupees and Yuan?" Buy stuff from India and China, right? Also, with the Ruble cratering, wouldn't a big pile of foreign currency be one of the best assets he could have? Not sure I see the problem.

    The problem is that as Ukraine has started attacking the Russian mainland, there has been a rally around the flag effect. People will be more likely to endure hardships rather than, e.g., strike, to support the military. It becomes a matter of survival. I think it's a huge mistake.

      They can see that Ukraine is striking military targets and showing no signs of conquest so I think there won’t be a strong rally round the flag
