Russia's invasion of Ukraine: Part 5 in War in Ukraine ·
It is quite fascinating how this "leaked" into the press. Not even through WikiLeaks, mind you, but just... out in the open.
High-profile leaders within the European Union are pointing fingers like frantic children, insisting that Vladimir Putin is the sole architect behind the chaos looming this fall. However, I find myself skeptical that the average American will simply swallow such a narrative. As they say, you can't polish a turd.
Sanctions on Russia in War in Ukraine ·
analogbear5 said:Total nonsense. Even with a strong ruble, Russian oil exports would still be incredibly profitable.

But the ruble is only strong because of those very exports. There is demand... it is the currency used to settle the principal on energy shipments.
So, how does one reconcile that logic when we are supposedly talking about sanctions?
