Incompetence? The ruble is best currency of the year. It's stronger against the dollar than before the war started. Unlike in the west, inflation has receded to the point, Russia is cutting interest rates. It just gained 40,000 square miles of Ukraine's most productive land.

What disgusting is that disdain you have Putin is the kind you should have for Biden.

LOL and what can Russians buy with all those rubles?

Uh oh, it's Time to upgrade your talking points, tovarisch!

If it can hold it, which seems doubtful. But regardless lack of land was never Russia's problem. Having some more coal mines in the Donbas isn't going to remotelyoffset the huge cost of losing an entire generation of talented young people in Russia to exile, the cost of being cut off from the international banking system and credit markets, and long term reorientiation of European energy markets to dramatically reduce the market power for Russian gas and oil.

Plus, now thanks to your dear leader, NATO troops are just a short train ride from Finland Station in St Petersburg.
