“As to Russia going bankrupt, you guys are a BROKEN RECORD, with those predictions started in March, if not February. And all that you guys can show, beyond yet more unsupported predictions, was the trouble Russia was having in bringing down the value of the Ruble, after it got so STRONG”
Many times, many posters have provided many such supporting facts.
This thread, for just one example.
The gas flow is shut off. Kind of big deal.
Russia is now the most heavily sanctioned country on Earth.
Russia has defaulted on its foreign debt. And has fallen below the creditworthiness to receive any official credit rating at all.
The list could go on and on.
The only really good economic news for Russia has been the strength of its oil and gas revenue, during the initial wartime price surge. Since then, oil prices have fallen back by a a quarter, gas sales have collapsed dramatically, and serious new sanctions and possible price declines threaten what remains of oil revenues.
Now that gas has collapsed, oil is the only lifeline left, and it is being actively targeted.
“Russia has defaulted on its foreign debt.”
Are you trying to defeat Tree Hugger* for the Idiot-of-the-Site Award or something?
*his claim is that Russia was shelling the nuke plant that was occupied with Russian soldiers.
“Now that gas has collapsed”
You might want to buy a calculator. LNG looks mighty expensive to anyone buying it.
“Russia is now the most heavily sanctioned country on Earth.”
...only if one ignores the 70% of the world population NOT sanctioning Russia (which includes Russia and India).
