Russian soldiers have major Ukrainian cities surrounded and are beginning to close in. The situation in Ukraine is dire. It’s not great for Russia either. In addition to being ostracized by most countries, the ruble is weakened.
The ruble hit its weakest level ever against the dollar. It will spike inflation.
“Russian bank Tinkoff now offering to exchange rubles for dollars at a rate of 171 rubles per dollar. It was 83 before the European/US announcement about targeting the Russian central bank. The currency market formally opens tomorrow. This is brutal,” Paul Sonne, a reporter for The Washington Post, tweeted.
Air space is being shut down over Russia and popular payment systems like ApplePay will stop working, which sent Russians to ATMs to get rubles.
The U.S. and the European Union this weekend agreed to kick some Russian banks off the SWIFT financial messaging system and freeze the central bank’s reserves.
Putin is facing the harshest sanctions leveled at a major economy in at least a generation, and some of the pain may be seen when markets open Monday.
Russian currency is likely to become even more worthless in the coming days, some experts said, according to Bloomberg.
“I can’t see a scenario where it doesn’t get hammered,” said Paul McNamara, a fund manager at GAM Investments. “I don’t expect effective intervention in terms of pricing, but in terms of reducing legal grounds to sell rubles.”

Putin and the Russians don’t care about the Ruble on the world market, they have huge Oil Reserves (#8) and Uranium Reserves (#4). Russia also has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world and it would be suicide to go nuclear against them. The price of the Ruble on the world market is irreverent. One of the things I learn when the Thai Baht crashed in 1997, it didn’t hurt the average Thai, or even Rich Thais. It hurt outside investors far more because prices didn’t change in Baht, so outsiders took a bath when they exchanged their baht into dollars and Euros. Oil is sold in Dollars and if you want Russia’s oil you pay a premium as the price of oil goes up. The EU is dying. they have used up all their energy resources except for coal and refuse to use coal.
The Old European Money has been surviving on money manipulation, but the rest of the world is no longer playing along with the WEF. The money manipulators can play with the Ruble all they want, but at the end of the day, Europe and the US will pay higher prices for oil because Traitor Joe is a Moron! The world is going back to making money the old fashion way; earning it. I won’t be surprised if Putin marches his army right into Davos and burns the city to the ground; just to get Klaus Schwab’s attention, along with his friends. Cut off Government Fiat Currency Printing Presses and the Rich go broke real fast without Government welfare. Who knows, in a year the Ruble and the Yuan may be the worlds reserve currency, if we don’t get the Democrats out of power now! Personally, I’m thinking about buying Rubles before Traitor Joe, Democrats, and the FED succeed in crashing the US Dollar. The only smart thing for the United States to do is just walk away from NATO. Europe has been on life support since before WWII. America and Great Britain don’t need to go down with Continental Europe.
Remember, WWIII officially starts when France surrenders to Germany.
“Do not think I came to bring peace to the earth; I came to bring, not peace, but a sword. For I came to cause division, with a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. Indeed, a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.”
Matthew 10:34

Breaking-16 mins ago-Saudi Arabia confirms its commitment to Russia and they are Let’s Go Brandon all the way.
The dreamy Ann B slices through like a laser beam with her take that this latest Schwab productions in the Kraine is being framed as the battle for making the world safe for globohomo.
Russia is one of the last Christian [Orthodox] nations.
The ICBM rate is still in their advantage and they don’t have diversity troops or online photos of sex toy acts with people in uniform.
The Satan ICBM used to be the biggest one ever built until they made the Satan II.
BTW-when has our MAD system last been checked?
What are the Civil Defense plans besides basements and school desks?
Kelp and red wine.
Don’t worry about the ruble. Russia has huge reserves and little debt. It’s the Euro that will crash. Its down to 112 and I expct parity by the end of March. Germany and Central Europe w/o energy will be devastating.
It would be quite easy for China to step in and support it. This isn’t the old USSR; Russia is self-sufficient in their country.
There is something quite revealing coming to pass. Sweden is the latest to join in with military support. There is a common thread among these nations which are most outspoken. They all have a…..”Jewish Problem”, especially in Sweden, but also the UK and France. In many Jewish areas they need armed guards for protection, because of constant attacks. Most of these countries will vote against Israel consistently.
Now, isn’t it interesting that Russia does not have this, “Jewish problem”. Putin, aka the evil madman, has made it safe for Jews there. The KGB were vicious to the Jews yet this KGB madman has no issue with Jews, even going so far as buying an apartment in Israel for his Jewish teacher. He has a good relationship with Chabad there. As some Rabbis have said, Putin was basically raised by Jews. Is this the caricature the West has formulated.
