—”The Ruble is now the best performing foreign currency year to date...”

The Russian economy is a very well fabricated Potemkin village; yes they invented it. And they have worked hard for years to prepare, but they are on the edge of a third-world economy, like Mexico, and attempting to support a large military-industrial complex.

Use a magnifying glass if needed and you will notice that Russia is paying 20% interest on savings in ruble! Yes they have been cutting that, but not much. Not a good sign.
EVEN BRANDON HAS NOT YET PUSHED OUR RATES THAT HIGH: YET.

Yes, there is leakage in the boycott and oil is fungible.
And Brandon has limited supply /pushing price to the moon.

What return are you receiving from your ruble investment?
CAREFUL! “Past performance is no guarantee of future results” because the Russian economy is past and sinking.

As you study the Russian economy, again remember they invented the Potemkin village.

If you believe in it... gotta hunch buy a bunch!!!
Maybe some leverage for you?

but they are on the edge of a third-world economy, like Mexico, and attempting to support a large military-industrial complex.

Russia has nearly twice the land mass and far more of many types of natural resources than the United States. They do not actually need the rest of the world... they are self-sufficient despite their awful political system.

Let's try to look at the facts.

6.602 million square miles - Russia
3.797 million sq mi - United States.
758,449 sq mi - Mexico

Russian GNP 4.036 trillion PPP dollars
144.1 million (2020) population
$61.7 billion in military spending
National Debt $410.28 billion U.S. dollars.

USA GNP 21.69 trillion PPP dollars (2019)
329.5 million (2020) population
The United States — $778 billion in military spending
National Debt - $28.43 Trillion + $162 Trillion in unfunded liabilities

Mexican GNP 2.343 trillion PPP dollars (2020)
128.9 million (2020) population
Mexico - 7.77 billion in military spending
National Debt - $746 billion

Because of greater gross domestic product and lower “income inequality” in Russia the average Russian makes more than twice what the average Mexican does. Military spending by the Russian government for their Ukrainian misadventure has been a fraction of the increase in funds provided by the huge increase in what they are being paid for their exports.

Your assertion that the “Russian economy is past and sinking” is laughable at best. Russia is a leading oil and gas exporter, leading fertilizer exporter, and a leading food exporter. Their national debt is $410 billion. Our National debt if you include “unfunded liabilities” which is money already promised is $190 trillion which is nearly 500 times as much. If you divide their National Debt by their population their national debt comes to $2,847 per Russian. Our true National Debt of $190 Trillion divided by our population comes to $576,631 per American. We are the ones who are being led to oblivion by our government and the Federal Reserve.

But does Russia have the third world masses trying to invade their borders to enjoy a better life. Obviously not. Because of their government probably the majority of Russians and nearly everyone from other places would choose to live nearly anywhere else in the world. We win that competition but both Russia and the US have made their beds and will have to face the consequences. When the debts come due, the equation may change.

EVEN BRANDON HAS NOT YET PUSHED OUR RATES THAT HIGH: YET.

The operative word in this paragraph is “YET”. Our authorities have increased liquidity... essentially “printed money” in historically unprecedented amounts. Even Zimbabwe, South American banana republics and the “Weimar Republic” in Germany after WWI were all pikers compared to our current situation.

Hundred trillion dollar note from Zimbabwe that was worth 40 cents in 2015 when it was still being used as currency.

But we don't even get the privilege of actual printed money these days... Actual physical money of all types in circulation in the world excluding play money printed by Zimbabwe and a few others no longer used as currency... is estimated to be worth a little over US $6.6 Trillion. vs an estimated $2.7 quadrillion in electronic blips that represent the value of the top stock exchanges, bank accounts, cryptocurrencies and much more. Nearly the entire world is dependent on a largely imaginary flow of "electronic funds" that could fairly easily cease to exist if something catastrophic happened to the world's computer systems. That is why "electronic warfare" as stupid as it sounds is no joke. We are all sitting on a house of cards.

The house of cards is already being manipulated and pushed to the point of collapse by the Fed, the oligarchs, the billionaires, and the governments of the world. It is a big out of control game which is going to fail at some point. When this happens hard assets, natural resources, physical capital improvements and who controls them is going to be the real determination of wealth and security. But those in the real positions of power are studying and planning for how to keep their share of the "new world order". No one is preparing and likely hoping for this coming new reality more than the Russians.
