More Bad News for Russia

[AkMike]

If they were manual, there will be some very tired cold people as the value plummets further. 

At least the store clerks will be warm inside raising the prices on the groceries.

Is it supposed to be funny? Should we start laughing ?

[AkMike]

But of course! 

Anything bad for Russian is good for everyone else!

 Send a note to your leader to withdraw all troops and associated supplies out of Ukraine and Krym then all will begin to get better.

 Until then expect top see 80-90 rubles to the dollar soon. That'll hurt on the home front!

I am already laughing at how Putler keeps shooting his own feet with those silly self imposed food embargos that jacks up the price of food for his own citizens.

Does the midget have any toes left?

[AkMike]

That silly Russian Bear!

 Send a note to your leader

I did - he says hi to you

[Doll]

Called Putin again- another hi to you

Maybe to add a bit of fun to RWD, we should start a guessing competition to guess on what date the Rouble will hit 65, 75, 85 etc...

New Years should show 70.

Careful guys, all your 'flippant' comments might get SX all twisted up, oh wait nevermind, I forgot, he is a hypocrite and approves of your comments since politically you agree!


On another note. I think the US currency is strong overall right now, for example the country where my wife is from Colombia, the US dollar just in recent weeks has moved from 1900 to 2400+ and since the beginning of the year it is even more...these are large % gains but the life hasn't changed much in a Colombia as a result.


Fathertime!

Except the costs are going up fast in Russia.

They can't afford to keep up the war and still maintain the home front. Unless they dip into the pension fund. Oh wait! Never mind they already did! No bread with the borscht.

According to good old YAHOO NEWS    again it appears that Russia is aligning with a non-western nation...this time it is India.  There remains a market for Russian resources, despite the western sanctions.

Heh, comments like this reminds me of this nice article.


See if anyone notice any similarity, which I should add, is purely coincidental.

Care to demonstrate your unshakable faith in the Rouble by converting all your US dollars into Roubles?

[Gator]

An analyst on a TV business show today mistakenly said "rubble" when talking about Russian currency.  Freudian slip?

I don't want the Russian economy to crumble, but I do want Russia to leave Ukraine alone. I'm sure there are a few Russians who are good people, who love their brothers in Ukraine. I have sympathy for them.

Zen and the crash of the ruble... Realtime! 58.48!

Then they need to quickly become the vocal minority that changes everyone's mind to understand the truth and not RT's/Kremlin's version either.

What is more important to me is that OUR economy doesn't begin to crumble...this has been a terrible week for our stocks....the economy is frail....and it can take no time for it to fizzle.
