The rate of 81.375 to the dollar at the end of the day continued a slow but steady decline...The ruble has dropped about 35% in value since mid-January.

Haha this is news now.
The years that it hit multi yr highs despite war and sanctions was not news even though ofc that was extraordinary.
the news part here is multi year invasion + sanctions and he is where he was on day one.
the good thing is Biden and co + the Saudis are sending oil even higher insuring the lunacy of this we pay for one side and our policy pays for the other invasion continues.
“the good thing is Biden and co + the Saudis are sending oil even higher “
My first thought too. Let’s see what happens to the Ruble now that OPEC is cutting production.
I’m sorry that was sarcasm-
the high prices are what strengthens the ruble.
it is why it was higher for years despite the invasion and sanctions.
Biden and the war on oil indirectly paid for this invasion thx to those higher prices.
I’m sorry again but it is actually sad that as it is finally declining they are coming to his rescue with higher prices again.
IMO the ruble is the best way to figure out what is going on. It has been freely traded on the exchanges for a number of years and anyone can find this via search. We’ll know he is in trouble when it starts getting hammered. (of course it will be news again! Haha )
It’s time to cut back on your ruble holdings and your Russian ETFs. Vlad Putin is bad for business. With our old time mafias, this meant you got wacked. And what is Putin’s Russia, but a mafia state.
“And what is Putin’s Russia, but a mafia state.”
You should see what the United States has become.
Don’t let it go to yer head.... But you are OK on a certain level. A few times a week. The rest is Putinista Rubbish.
“The rest is Putinista Rubbish.”
Naa, it’s just me looking at the record of the Neocons and being skeptical of what the DEMOCRATS claim.
By the way, do you think Trump secretly ‘colluded’ with Russia? I still haven’t heard the media that you’re asking me to believe regarding Ukraine tell me flat-out that Trump DID NOT ‘collude’ with Russia, nor fire those who claimed such, nor even apologize.
...so, us Trump supporters are not going to BLINDLY take the media’s word here, nor should we.
Trump-Russian collusion was complete BS and I knew this from the beginning. Democrats always hammering Putin is part of what led him to invade Ukraine. He was pissed off at so much disrespect. I voted for Trump twice and really liked his economic nationalism and anti-illegal immigration. I am old school and worked for Pat Buchanan in the New Hampshire primary in 1992 for the same reasons. In 2024 I will vote for Trump or DeSantis. For me, Trump is only 20% better than Ron DeSantis.
“Trump-Russian collusion was complete BS and I knew this from the beginning.”
That’s a start...so you now agree that sometimes we shouldn’t trust what the media/DNC tells us.
As you progress in your skepticism, you’ll learn the TRUTH about what the Neocons have been doing, and not just in Ukraine.
“That’s a start...so you now agree that sometimes we shouldn’t trust what the media/DNC tells us.”
No FReeper does. This does not mean the mass media is lying 100% of the time. In the case of Rutin’s invasion, I don’t like Russian imperialism. The same applied to USSR imperialism during the Cold War. When USSR had its boot on the necks of 10 Eastern European nations.
FWIW:
Eastern Europe comprises ten sovereign nations: Belarus, Bulgaria, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, the Republic of Moldova, Romania, the Russian Federation, Slovakia, and Ukraine12345. The western part of the Russian Federation is also considered part of Eastern Europe34. It is important to note that regional definitions may vary and Eastern Europe is an overarching term for regions that may be more specifically classified as something else3.
