    1. I think the ruble has peaked. However we can still use the news to repeat humourous memes, as in the 5 stages of globalist grief:
      1. Denial
      2. Anger
      3. Bargaining
      4. Sadness
      5. Paying in rubles

  1. Not a bad deal for Russia:

    Russia has what you need, they demand payment in rubles.
    You pay Russia for rubles with US dollars and euros.
    You pay Russia for the goods in the rubles you just bought.
    You get your stuff and Russia now has their rubles back and still have your US dollars and euros too……

    1. I don’t think Vladimir Putin gives a shit about JOEY BIDENS New Liberal World Order.
      Pay up Wussy or go on back to the end of the Soup Line.

  2. If someone tells me this was all planned out a few years ago, I’m apt to believe them.

    Annnd, Bill Gates just bought another 2100 acres of North Dakota farmland. Hope some populist govt doesn’t appropriate all his land.

    1. Putin didn’t plan, he prepared. His PhD is in economics. He did the analysis, fixed the weak spots, then took advantage of opportunities as they arose. Took me a while to figure that out. If Putin can take part of Ukraine and corner the market on grain and fertilizer then great. If the invasion fails then he has already addressed the weak spots and can safely fall back.

      There is very little that Russia needs from the world but there is a lot the world wants from Russia.

  3. In other related news, the USA passes Russia as the #1 supplier of NG to Europe.

    1. References please. Oh and BTW, if the Russians are supplying 0, and the US supplies 0.5% of the EU’s needs, then the US supplies infinitely more NG than Russia. By definition.

      It’s meaningless. Semantics. The EU is facing economic collapse if Russia does not resume shipments of NG. The US simply cannot re0lace the EU’s gas needs with LNG shipped by tanker. Period. Can’t be done. No serious energy analyst or natgas trader on the planet believes Biden’s claims. LNG is not a simple matter of swapping Russian gas for US LNG. It is a complex and costly procedure involving terminals, conversions, storage and a host of other problems. Estimates are 1 to 3 years for the transition to be complete. Oh and the kicker? The amount of energy required to complete this task is pretty big. Requiring bog chunks of … what is that again? … oh, natgas already in place to do this.

      Also, Gazprom just halted dividend payments. Mmmmm … that suggests to me that they are getting ready to cut Europe off from Russian gas and oil cold turkey. Which they can do, since the resulting supply crunch will spike the price of NG. Like they didnto oil. Now let’s see how Europe’s 30+ million mal-adjusted, unassimilated Muslim immigrants take it when they can’t afford food and fuel due to insane price hikes.

      Good times. German industrialists are warning of around 5 million layoffs in the first month of a NG cutoff by Russia.

      1. No, it’s true. NA, is sending it LNG to Europe. What is not spoken is what it really means, and what it really means is that Europeans are going to have a cold winter.

        1. I read via the musings if various el energy analysts and traders, that if everything goes … perfectly … then in about 2-3 years the US provides around 11-15% of Europe’s NG needs. Just like Green energy, US LNG shipments are all hat, no cowboy.

        2. It’s not going to be Canada; El Turdeau has determined that by denying pipelines to the East coast.

  4. So what? Russia can’t buy anything with the rubble and they cannot exchange it for other currencies. This whole argument is irrelevant.

    Their economy is starting to tank. Takes time for things to take effect.

    1. Hanny
      When you the boss, you tell the bitch what she can do, and at the moment, the EU/USA are the bitches and Poohtin is their bitch master. And Poohtin can buy all he wants/needs with his rubles, or he cuts the bitches off. Kapeech??

    2. What do they need to buy with the ruble?

      And I don’t mean in the short term, I mean 5 years from now.

    3. Hanna …. I see you have bought the misinformation. The opposite is true, America is going broke with a 20 Trillion dollar debt, a brutal round of inflation in progress and a market collapse imminent … whilst Russia’s debt is one half of one trillion and their gas, oil and food is in big demand.

      Further, Russian people are much tougher mentally and physically than the fat slobs of America. They are also much freer, since Russian doesn’t seem interested in micromanaging individual citizens. Correct me if I’m wrong.

    1. When you start paying for goods in rubles, silly.

      I hear Hunter has been painting again, selling his paintings in rubles too. He needs more crack and hos

  5. And yet the EU acts like she’s Putin’s bitch. Kind of hard to see where he’s losing.

    1. He’s not losing … in a world where idiots have taken over the governments of most western world countries, we lack the brain power to deal with these rapidly changing events in our world. We are walking through mine fields every day.

      If Trump had not been stabbed in the back, he would be president and we would be acting in a much smarter way.

      Too bad … coulda had Trump, but we got the “Joe and Ho horror show.” And the Trudeau shit-show.

  6. Off on a bit of a side track. But anybody else recall once a long long time ago in a galaxy far away there was a nation called the Russian Empire. It was the largest exporter of wheat in the world. The empire was overthrown by a socialist regime. within 50 yrs they had to import wheat to stave off starvation. The socialist regime fell. Within 20 yrs the russia and the ukranians export 30% of the worlds wheat. Now tell me socialism isn’t a mental illness.

    1. The socialists will tell you the Bolsheviks were actually fascists. I know, right?

    2. And now I am getting quite SICK of Bidinh and the WEF Communist Party crashing the American economy

  7. I have much more respect for Russia and Putin than I do for America and Ukraine or Trudeau’s Canada.

    Nothing is what is appears to be.

    The Gas Lighting is intensifying.
