I had to laugh out loud when I read this.
These “sanctions” against Russia are really working out well.
The lights are going out in Western Europe and Putin is becoming more wealthy selling oil in many places.
Putin is becoming more wealthy selling oil
—
Russian Bureau of Statistics released data showing Russia making 1T rubles a month in oil revenue before the war. In June it had fallen to 720B rubles. Not getting more wealthy.
Plus, the GDP is projected to fall some 50% this year. Not getting more wealthy.
I also laughed. Saudi Arabia is joining BRICS.
