Russia begins invasion of Ukraine

[hometeam]

Countries who are rising, like China, Brazil, India and others are lining up to do business with Russia.

Maybe that was true before the invasion, but they really screwed themselves here. Over 1,000 companies have stopped doing business with Russia

Over 1,000 Companies Have Curtailed Operations in Russia—But Some Remain

som.yale.edu

It's not like our aid to Ukraine is creating new enemies for us and new allies for Russia. Everyone knows who is right and wrong here, and Putins only allies are Belarus, Syria, Iran and North Korea. And as Frederick Kagan and Jeffrey Sonnenfeld says, once the war stops people aren't suddenly going to start doing business with Russia again. A lot of this is lost permanently.

Lmfao.
There you go again with "well so and so Washington 'expert' says..."

But everything you say, everyone you reference and every opinion you give comes from the same tiny circle of people in Washington.

Fact is, none of them have been right about anything for a long time. Just look at the "sanctions"

The sanctions hurt the European countries more than Russia. Drastic enough that Washington literally sabotaged thier own allies energy pipelines to keep them from caving in and refusing to support the war. All those same 'experts' said the sanctions would "cripple Russia" and "starve out Putin".

Well that didn't happen, and key world economies told the Biden administration to stuff it up his ass and went into business with Russia. Key players like China, Brazil, India, even US 'allies' like turkey and South Africa are investing in trade deals with Russia.

Saudis are buying Russian oil and turning right around and selling it in NATO countries. For fucks sake France is still buying enriched uranium from Russia to fuel it's nuclear energy plants.

Again, you can crow up Washington propoganda all you want, it doesn't change the key takeaway here in economics. Washington cannot starve out Russia. They cannot. Despite all the woke companies pulling out, The fact remains Washington is not omnipotent and they cannot starve out or isolate Russia.

Just like the fact that they cannot beat the Russian military and drive it out of Ukraine. You can crow up all the bullshit you want and talk shit about how inadequate or whatever thier military might be and you can quote every Washington propoganda sources you can find. Russia is still winning and going to own what they want in Ukraine at the end of the day.

Hundreds of thousands of American people are homeless and many are starving. Our veterans are sleeping under bridges and eating out trash cans. Our cities are turning into cesspools of drug use and degeneracy.

Yet that same tiny circle of people you quote and praise over and over are driving us into bankruptcy financing endless foreign wars just like this.

Stop being so stupid. How is Washington going to rebuild what's left of Ukraine? Russia has most of the industrial parts and most of Ukraine worth having and the people in those areas support them. So what about the rest?

You think Washington can just print up a few trillion more worthless dollars and fix it all while our banks collapse?

You've truly got shit for brains.

It's time to make peace with the fact Washington doesn't rule the world anymore. Get to work rebuilding America and investing in American people

Yale economist Jeffrey Sonnenfeld addresses a lot of that here:

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU0resswOds

3:00: Sonnenfeld says that the World Bank and others get their information from Russian state owned Rosstat. One little problem is that Rosstat has had a change of leadership 3 times. Why? Sonnenfeld says it’s because Putin is looking for lackeys who will state the invented data he wants stated.

3:30: As a member of the IMF and the World Bank, Russia is required to submit data to the IMF and World Bank. “They are not submitting.” They have no idea what Russia's imports and exports are or foreign direct investment. By the second quarter of 2022, Russia stopped submitting the data.

4:00: Putin wakes up in the morning and decides what the GDP should be.

5:40: Every key industrial sector is down. The auto industry is down 99%.

10:45: Ruble is not being traded. You cannot know the value of something you cannot buy. We are going off the value Russia tells us it is.

19:20: Because we've fixed the price of oil, it actually costs Russia more money to pump it out of the ground than they are selling it at. We wish Russia would sell more oil because they are selling it at a loss.

20:30: Russia’s economy is smaller than that of Chile.

23:20: Putin can’t sell natural gas to India and China because they cannot liquify it and they don’t have the pipelines he would need to send it in gas form.

25:25: The mayor of Moscow, until he was silenced, admitted in April that hundreds of thousands of idled workers “were in the streets with nothing to do.”

25:50: 3 million highly sophisticated workers have fled Russia.

I'm not an economist but the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air says Russia is losing an estimated €160 million per day due to the combined impact of the European Union's far-reaching oil embargo and the G7's price cap:

The price of natural gas is lower in Europe now than this time last year, so this hurt the Russians more than the EU.

Why are USD/RUB and EUR/RUB Blocked? - Russian Ruble Update - FOREX.com US

FX pairs such as USD/RUB and EUR/RUB are unavailable to trade with most North American brokerages including FOREX.com because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

www.forex.com

It was the 3rd hit on a google search:

Google Search

www.google.com

and it says:

Why is the Russian ruble unavailable to trade?​

The ruble is currently unavailable to trade with FOREX.com (and many other brokerages) because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The war against Ukraine that Russia began in February 2022 prompted a slew of sanctions against Russia by major nations and groups including the US, EU, UK, Japan, Canada, and many others. These sanctions include trade bans on Russian exports and imports, as well as transactions with Russia’s central bank. The exchange of currencies, such as US dollars to Russian rubles and euros to rubles, has also been blocked.

Because of these sanctions, the value of the ruble has become disconnected between its quote inside Russia and the quote outside of Russia by foreign central banks. This disparity creates extreme volatility in ruble pairs, especially USD/RUB, increased spreads, and the risk of gapping when trading RUB with major currencies like USD and EUR.

Within a few days of Russia’s invasion, the ruble was blocked from the SWIFT network, a global system used by major banks and financial institutions to transfer money. This removal prevents Russia from making financial transactions with other countries and, along with the numerous other sanctions, has threatened to bring about the collapse of the Russian currency.

Russian citizens are also prevented from moving foreign currency outside of the country and can only withdraw limited amounts of cash from Russia’s banks.

Yeah that site says you can buy Rubles with Profee but I went to Profee's site and tried to buy rubles with Canadian dollars and it wouldn't let me. They just don't know the value and can't trust Russia's. Or they don't have any rubles to sell. Or Russia has imposed limits on it. You can buy Canadian dollars with rubles though.

They go on to say:
"The clearest way to buy Russian rubles is to present foreign currency to banks, hotels, and exchange bureaus within Russian borders. This option is, of course, limited only to those who are eligible to enter the country."

And like the Washington Post says:
"As things stand, traders no longer consider the ruble to be a free-trading currency. Capital controls imposed in the aftermath of Western sanctions mean the exchange rate is effectively a managed one. Russia has forced exporters to sell foreign exchange"

They just don't know the value and can't trust Russia's. Or they don't have any rubles to sell. Or Russia has imposed limits on it. You can buy Canadian dollars with rubles though.

They go on to say:
"The clearest way to buy Russian rubles is to present foreign currency to banks, hotels, and exchange bureaus within Russian borders. This option is, of course, limited only to those who are eligible to enter the country."

And like the Washington Post says:
"As things stand, traders no longer consider the ruble to be a free-trading currency. Capital controls imposed in the aftermath of Western sanctions mean the exchange rate is effectively a managed one. Russia has forced exporters to sell foreign exchange"

Oh boy. You actually believe that? You know the debate was held in Toronto, Canada right?

In other words, despite Washington's best efforts, you can still buy rubles.

No I'm not, it's just that Profee doesn't deal with US dollars so I tried to buy the ruble with Canadian. The whole point here is that you cannot know what the value of a ruble is because you cannot buy it outside of Russia, or at least it's very hard.

You would think that also it would be hard for them to sell their goods on the world market or have foreign investment when you cannot buy the ruble and can't trust Russia's stated exchange rate. It's pretty bad when you can easily get ahold of some bitcoin or ethereum but cannot buy the ruble anywhere.

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace has a better explanation:
"In theory, the ruble remains a freely convertible currency with all the necessary infrastructure for transnational payments, so there is technically nothing to stop Russian exporters from demanding payment for their goods in rubles. In practice, however, this simply doesn’t work, and only leads to even more delays in completing transactions.

The key problem here is in the low liquidity of national currencies compared with reserve currencies, as well as the macroeconomic and exchange rate risks. Because of this, buyers ask for significant discounts for agreeing to a deal fixed in an unusual currency."

Bartering, Cryptocurrencies, and Yuan: Russia Seeks Alternatives to Trading in Dollars

It’s hard to imagine Moscow being able to convince the rest of the world that its attempts to reinvent the global monetary system are an improvement on the tried and tested convenience of reserve currencies. Accordingly, Russian companies will have to accept all the additional risks and expense...

They also say:
"even Russian companies that have not been directly sanctioned still run into major difficulties when trying to settle their accounts with foreign partners. Their bank accounts in dollars and euros may be blocked, payments sent in foreign currencies take an age to be processed, and even banks in “friendly countries” are refusing to carry out transactions"

You're a cunt assed Canadian.

I'm done with you

Everything you say is pulled out of your ass.

It's pretty hard to imagine a senior economic professor at Yale University to be wrong about economic matters or to pull stuff out of his ass.

They asked him what he thinks the state of the Russian economy is and he said he doesn't know, because they won't release the data anymore and it's hard to just trust Russia's Rosstat. The data they get from international trading partners doesn't look good and with losing money on the oil they sell, auto industry down 99%, the Moscow mayor saying people are out of work, it doesn't look good. Their economy could be cratered and no one would know. That's an authoritarian country for you.

I'm not pro Ukraine or pro Russia.

Fact is ukranian people fought on behalf of the Nazi third riech and both Russia during world war 2

And Ukrainian people that fought for the Nazis wanted independence from all of them.

I am not against Ukrainian independence. Washington is. I'm not against Ukrainian unity of both Russian and ukranian people. Washington and Ukraine are.

I'm not against a bilateral multiethnic Ukrainian nation. Russia and Ukraine are.

I'm an American that disagrees with that useless cunt @hometeam that wants those people to fight each other to benifit Washington.

That cunt has shown his colors and deserves no reply.

Anybody that takes anything he says henceforth is just as much as much of a cunt as he is. For obvious reasons.

He's finished here. Showed his cunt selfish interests and pussy assed Canadian roots.

No sensible American should support any of this
