This isn’t politics.
This is math. It has been this way all of this century. Money is printed pieces of paper. Bernanke exposed this reality by using the phrase Quantitative Ease to obfuscate the reality that money is a substance whose only value is in the imaginations of counterparties.
And that, is why Russia is going to win. They have oil and gas that will run out last. Simply that. Joules are not in the imagination of counterparties.
