Yeah, right. More of BS and lies we’ve been told by media/gubmint.
The currency exchanges are not media spin.
You might not like the facts…but there they are.
The international value of the ruble has been cut in half in the last year.
Russian markets are not open for foreign investment—you cannot sell and remove funds. That dam will break when the war ends.
Russian employment numbers will take a hit for years to come from the impacts of the war. Demographicly, Russia was an aging and unhealthy population before the war. Killing and maiming a couple hundred thousand men will have a significant impact on replacing those who will die out in the next ten years or so. The impact of the war will be measured in the millions of people NOT in the workforce in 25-30 years.
Those are all facts. You might not like them, but there they are.
How this plays out over the next couple of years is speculation. But very few “empires” have survived those kinds of pressures without decline.
