Good for Putin. The Global Elites crashed his economy, and now they expect him to pay back debts. Yes, pay them with the worthless currency they just crashed.

Actually, the creditors may come out ahead if Putin uses the official exchange rate, but I doubt they know it.

You have no idea what’s really going on, son. I suggest you stick to playing the wind-up toy with the arrow in the middle that makes a sound when it lands on an animal.

$1= 0.0075 rubles

Paying debt in rubles = lots’a rubles, piles of rubles reaching to 20th floor, covering a square city block, lots’a rubles.

Wow.

Yes - the West (ie. the US deep state) has declared:
“Russia, you can’t have trading access US Dollars, and we are basically stealing all your nation’s savings that are in US Dollars. Oh, and why aren’t you paying your foreign debts?”

They’ll do it to truckers, they’ll do it to nations.

You are next.
