  1.  @pads6367  Yeah, I don't know either. I wonder if any inflation in Russia is due to public reaction to the news that they've been sanctioned or if it is due to actual product scarcity of some product that I can't think of. I've heard that the Russian ruble has "collapsed" but I wonder if it's buying power within Russia has fallen significantly.

  2. I'm trying to think what Russia needs that the countries boycotting them would otherwise provide. I'm kinda coming up empty. Are there goods that Russia desperately needs from the west? We talk about the collapse of the ruble on international markets, but I'm not sure that matters to Russians unless they have investments outside the country.

  3.  @pads6367  But what do they need to use it on? What does Russia need from the rest of the world?
