Russia will have more financial problems after Trump lowers energy costs, not just in the U.S. but in the global energy market.

Any Dim who says they hate Russia! Russia! Russia! is lying if they're against drill baby drill. Russia's economy is joined at the hip to energy way more than even ours is.

Russia has its own Central Bank, just like the Fed. To date it has printed far less money than QE over 10 years accumulated.

As I have mentioned, my go to source for information about life in Russia and food in Russia is a youtube channel dating back to pre 2022.

Those videos show plenty of food and many military age men walking around.

There is never proof of any information being clean, but you can take measures — like relying on pre 2022 sources rather than anything else, particularly MSM.

“Russia will have more financial problems after Trump lowers energy costs”

Russia has been called a gas station with nukes. Before the most recent invasion (2022), the Russian Government derived a higher proportion of its revenue from oil and gas royalties and taxes, than even Saudi Arabia.

Now that Russia has been on a spree since that invasion started, running budget deficits, hectically printing new rubles, selling off assets and raising taxes; much of the slack has been taken out of their Government finances. They are now much more vulnerable to an oil price shock, than they were in January of 2022.
