What is that wench going to do about it? What did she have to say about our war crimes? Remember we've done a good bit of invading the last few decades? Usually followed by outvading after awhile. And leaving our equipment for enemy troops to appropriate for their own use.

You might could lend your international Financial expertise to the G-20.
America, Hastings, for all of her warts and misdeeds,,,nothing is holding you here. But we’ve discussed that earlier as to why you can’t move to Russia like you’ve considered doing.

Why newsweek went bankrupt.

Janet Yellen looks like someones retarded great aunt that lives in a group home.
Everytime I see her my urge to punch her in the face increases ten fold.

These two Bidernistas love their draft dodging biden. Too dumb to see the real picture. Dumb "fake knee jerk" patriotism. Im guessing Burns scammed some military contracts on this after his business failed.


Ukraine needlessly losing 1000 or more a day due to casualties and these two idiots celebrate this! Young men dying for a corrupt Ukrainian govt and corrupt us officials making tens of millions of of this scam just like Iraq twice and Afghanistan the past 20 years.

The United States said Friday it would resume flights to the International Space Station with Russia, despite its attempts to isolate Moscow over the invasion of Ukraine.

The German government is now suggesting that the West needs to be open to negotiating with Russia.

High-Ranking Ukrainian Officials Caught Splurging On Luxury Real Estate In Switzerland.

To all these people hanging everything on the value of the Ruble as an indication of the sanctions working or not consider this.

Several of the reasons the ruble has remained stable so far is the Central Bank of Russia increased interest rates to 20%. Any Russian who might have been tempted to sell their rubles and buy dollars or euros now has a big incentive to not do it. But Russian borrowers can't keep paying interest rates of more than 20% forever. Also Russia has lost half its imports. When you have more exports than imports your currency appreciates, but that is not really a good gage of your economies health. And there are other emergency measures Russia has taken to prop up the ruble like requiring all Russian businesses earning revenue in foreign countries to convert at least 80% of it into rubles no matter the exchange rate. Bad for those businesses but helps keep the ruble artificially high.

Here is the bad for Russia.

The entire Russian economy is on a pace to shrink by 10% in 2022. That may not sound that bad but for a country the size of Russia that's a dire ass forecast.

Russia has defaulted on it's foreign debt. That's not just a short term problem either. That hurts you with investors for years to come.

1,000 major businesses have pulled out of the country.

Manufacturing facilities that depend on imported components are struggling or facing a complete shutdown.

Russian car plants were forced to stop operations. New car sales in April were almost five times less, and in May six times less, than a year earlier.

American and European producers are blocked from selling aircraft or parts or providing maintenance to Russian airlines. To maintain at least some of their aircraft, Russia’s airlines will have to strip other craft for parts. More than half of the Russian aircraft fleet could be dismantled for parts by 2024 to keep the remainder in the sky.

Russia’s shipbuilding industry is also greatly affected by the lack of domestic producers of engines and parts.

They can't get the microchips they need to manufacture the advanced weaponry they are using up in Ukraine.

I could go on and on. The situation isn't as simple as the ruble.
