The Russia economy is doing reasonably well and the western sphere's collective economy is in shambles and spiraling even further downwards. Whatever we can cry about centralized economies and market manipulation is 1) not changing that fact and 2) hypocritical to an extreme.

There is 'some inflation' in Russia, there is hyperinflation in the US. The Ruble is at 30% higher than pre-invasion values and the Russian central bank is cutting interest rates. The US dollar is plummeting and the federal reserve is hiking interest rates. The Russian trade balance is 4x higher than a year ago and exports are 65% up. Its just an economic fact right now that Russia is doing extremely well by comparison to the west. (...)


Since the import was stopped, but export not yet, its not strange that Rouble get back. Lack of imports also hurts Russians. Also there are still limits in exchanging currency and probably stock exchange too (too lazy to check and confirm).
Actually getting the rouble stronger isnt necessarily good thing for Russia, as it makes them earn less roubles for their oil and gas. They arent really smart I would say.

USA didnt get much oil and gas from Russia anyway, as they have their own shale gas, so they are not really participating in what you call "trade war". Its Europe that is/was dependant on Russian resources.

You are an interesting person. How can you be that pro-Putin in US unless you're paid to?

Global markets don't exist in a vacuum. The US is subject to the same forces of energy and food availability worldwide, particularly energy prices, and Biden's economic sanctions on Russia were the proximate cause of the current energy and food crisis.

I've been watching my country support terrorists in Syria and neo-nazi's in Ukraine since 2014. I am acutely aware of the crimes against humanity these terrorist groups have committed, from mass murder to mass rape to torture and execution... the brutality is truly off the charts.

The US repeatedly seeks out the most brutal bunch of human scum imaginable, and then empowers them, over and over and over, and they have been doing it since before I was even born if we include Latin America.

Guess who put a stop to the terrorist offensive in Syria and NeoNazi reign of terror in Ukraine? Putin...

Make whatever you will of it

Syrian conflict is about oil again. He's no better than Busch.

Reports coming in that Ukrainian units in Severodonetsk took around 500 civilians hostage and are holding them at the Azot industrial plant where they are holed up.

Get absolutely bent Ukraine supporters. What kind of country uses its own nation's citizens as a meat shield? What the fuck is wrong with these people?

You're championing a country that has used its population as a meatgrinder to win wars since the dawn of time.
