You obviously never watched the supermarket price comparison video to show the true comparison...

I love how they post the graph the way they do ... Also he could have brought an up to date version

Currently the exchange rate :
Is BAD for exports which is what russia does the most of. it is BAD for companies wanting to sell their products internationally...
is GOOD for imports, which unfortunatly for russian has been minimised due to sanctions and countries not actually wanting to deal with Russia even on non sanctioned commodaties.

There have been some actions to try and bring the currency back to accepted levels ( from a russian pov ). This is evident from currency graphs. I think the methods normally being used to do this are slowly being removed ( gold being sanctioned etc ). In the end if the fundamentals dont change the currency is going to carry on doing what it is doing.

SA learnt the hard way in the past it is unworkable to intervene in the currency markets.

There is a huge disparity between imports and exports. This leads to other problems in the economy which is currently being seen.
Also that disparity means forex has to be accumlated somewhere. Cant be in USD because then it will just be confiscated...
Gold is now also sanctioned which used to be one of the favoured method to create reserves. It also means that Russia's gold reserves have also now been removed from the equation.

As of 22 July 2022, EU sanctions prohibit the direct or indirect import, purchase or transfer of gold, which constitutes Russia’s most significant export after energy, pursuant to Article 3o of Regulation (EU) 833/2014.

Stick to the facts, the white helmets were caught recycling the photos of the same children over and over again. She exposed that story.

Lots of people write opeds all over. It doesn't prove much. Richard Dawkins appeared on RT a few times as did Ron Paul and Shimon Perez.

Facebook is deeply tied to Nato propaganda. Being labelled by the hardly proves anything.

Evidence for your facts Nico? You keep getting caught out yet show no remorse nor embarrassment. What psychological trait does that? You also deflect off topic a lot like to Richard Dawkins. Why?

You Literally Can't Believe The Facts Tucker Carlson Tells You. So Say Fox's Lawyers

Fox News viewers don't expect facts from Tucker Carlson, according to network lawyers who defended their star in a slander lawsuit filed by a woman who said she had an affair with President Trump.
www.npr.org www.npr.org
She wrote: "Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statement he makes."

Vyskocil, an appointee of President Trump's, added, "Whether the Court frames Mr. Carlson's statements as 'exaggeration,' 'non-literal commentary,' or simply bloviating for his audience, the conclusion remains the same — the statements are not actionable."

Just an indication of counter propaganda for some balance, that's all.

If you don't like opposing view, you guys must just setup a private whatsapp chat group.

I'm not being difficult, just cannot stand the utter steamrolling over anything remotely unpalatable. These fukers (azov) are a bunch of terrorists who are being hailed as the bees knees and saviours of freedom and democracy.

Had enough of the same type of messaging over the past two years.

So, military units get to choose their allegiances then?? Ever been in the military?

not in the slightest, the UK defense who is actively supplying weapons, mercenaries and sanction support to Ukraine is biased as all hell

you might as well ask me to trust the US defense / intelligence reports on the topic, it's ridiculous

Are their intelligence assessments biased? That leads to defeat. You obviously have no military experience but talk the talk without ever having walked the walk...

Yet to see enter any debate here Gramps. You pop in and make an inane comment every few weeks.

Gramps has a very "old fashioned" SA view of things and doesn't like it when his raci realism has been called out, so he likes to sneak around and make the odd slimy comment every now and then.
