  1. ​ @howardjohnson9239  if the Yen was trading 90 for a USD and jumped to 155 that would be a massive crisis. The ruble was what, 66-70 before the war?

  2. The thing is that they break deals because they know they can get away with it. In this case them breaking the deal just resumes the drone attacks so they won't get to avoid the consequences.

  3. ​ @alexanderseferinkyn4568  Effectiveness is a meaningless standard. Efficiency should be used instead. You have resources. If you spend them all on a town nobody knows the name of, what do you have left? It's in Ukraine's interest to preserve forces to maintain long term objectives while Russia focuses on the short term.

  4. ​ @AugustusOmega  Why would anyone want Rubles? Currencies are pitted against each other. If the dollar was harder to earn you'd see that reflected in trade value. All currencies take the same to earn for an equivalent value.

  5. Vietnam is a bad example and Iraq is worse. North Vietnam was fighting to take over the South and unify the country. They were taught the brutal infiltration tactics Russia used in Bakhmut with Wagner. After political turmoil in the US made intervention impossible, North Vietnam broke the peace treaty and invaded the South. They were essentially Russia in the conflict. Waste millions of lives, wait for the West to lose interest. In Iraq there was a civil war, then Iranian interference. Nobody was fighting for liberation - they were fighting each other because of Sunni-Shia sectarianism. Then ISIS came and Iraq had to fight side by side with the US. How is this an example for what you were trying to say? Iraq was initially defeated by a non-state actor and the "empire" came over to help.

  6. North Korea also has a huge pyramid hotel in Pyongyang. Moscow is the center of the empire, they splurge like mad while the periphery suffers. Am I supposed to be impressed by Arab-style spending habits?

  7. ​ @liquidsnake6879  Leveraging Chinese human capital is a nightmare. So many rural people who can't transition to a high tech or services sector, and so many youths who'd rather be livestreamers than get a job. China is suffering a lot of the same problems the West has.

  8. You can't actually trade it at that value. Nobody is going to buy rubles off you for that price.

  9. Living standards would be higher by having sweatshops?

  10. Do they have the finances to do that? If I'm shipwrecked the last thing I want to do is grab an anchor.

  11. It's not kicked down the road. The debt going to zero would require the private sector to have its assets stripped. Clinton's balanced budget? It dented the economy.

  12. I've seen bread prices in Russia advertised with microcredit alternatives.

  13. People can postpone the purchase of a car. Groceries are immediate. So the question becomes, how long until issues like transportation make a lack of vehicle purchases (or purchase of lower quality vehicles) create a dent in other sectors of the economy.

  14. The IMF has no means to actually validate Russia's numbers.

  15. Try to trade 100 rubles for a dollar. Nobody will honor that exchange rate. Rubles pretty much have to be spent in Russia, so anyone doing the exchange will demand around 200 per dollar.

  16. Russia required QR codes to ride the bus, while Ukraine had the lowest vaxx-ing rate in Europe. Putin is a Branch Covidian. Ukrainians distrusted the vax. lul

  17. One glance at the comments posted by your account and your agenda becomes clear.

  18. India and China offshoring to Russia just means wages are low enough that they're in the same position China used to be decades ago.

  19. Try to sell 97 rubles for a dollar. Nobody will buy them off you

  20. Japan and Germany were wrecked by WWII. Ukraine hasn't suffered a tenth of the damage those countries went through.

  21. Why are you shilling for Russia. I click on your profile and I see you shilling for Russia's low debt to GDP. Russia isn't trusted to pay back their loans. Simple as.

  22. Running a deficit is the norm.

  23. They've been doing terribly. And sanctions are indeed working, that's why they tey to convince you they're not. They want sanctions relief lol
