Walaii.... This man no just get sence. Prior to his invasion on Ukraine, a lot of people don't even know the unit of Russian currency.

Swallow your pride and allow peaceful negotiable approach to this your madness Because, as it stands you have put your country into retrogression economically undecided
ignorance is a bad thing. when you dont understand something keep quiet. by doing what he has just ordered he is weaking the dollar and euro in the international market and strengthing the rubules. energy is the most sorthafter commodity in the world and its most sold in dollars if you challenge that you weaken thr dollar if you weaken the dollar you weaken the americans. what do you think got kadafi killed??

Look at the date of the YouTube link you posted, the videos are from the beginning of the invasion, just like when people stockpiled at the beginning of covid, same thing is what happened in the youtube link you posted, everything back to normal, even the MSM is not talking about any shortages in Russia
Date?
1st You said I posted MSM screenshot of sugar and grocery rush. Then I posted video saying Russia recorded and posted the videos themselves.

2nd you now you say MSM is not reporting it again

Are you confused? Or are you just looking for straws to grasp on grin

The Sugar and grocery rush is 3 days ago.
The Mexico border rush 7 days ago.

They are very very recent grin

Even South China Morning Post news posted one yesterday.

Russians are hurting. This is a fact.

Really ? Russia will not import? All natural resources are in Russia?

Even to buy goods from China they'll use Ruble?

Even for their citizens to travel out they'll use Ruble ? Lol
go check the price increase in fuel today in Europe. Soon it will leads to protest

This strategy will cause the Ruble to appreciate and ensure stability of the russia economy. As Germany, and other EU nations will have to source for Ruble to pay for gas.

Trading in Ruble has always been the desire of Putin and russia.

The reason why the US attack Iraq, Libya, Syrie etc was because they wanted to abandon the use of dollar for trade.
you are absolutely right. a lot of people in our side of the world are just too ignorant. they dont understand simple economics

Don't mind Putin, we agree they have the highest gas deposit and that is because others have not been discovered and harness, he will be shock to see an alternative to Russia Gas.
The EU in a short term has no other choice than to continue buying Russian gas. But in a long term they will find another seller/sellers. Russia will also find another buyer/buyers. But i don't think Russia can get buyer/buyers who will buy as heavy as the EU does right now. For the EU i hope there won't be any reason to sanction the next seller they get.

do you know that Qatar just told the EU last month that she can't unilaterally meet their gas needs. If they like they should double their production, they can't meet up. Its a calculation that Putin has done before all this his muscle flexing. And they also need to cater for the countries that's been buying from them before this mess. India for one won't mind buying Russian gas for cheaper price because there's rumors that they want to buy millions barrel of Russian oil for a reduced price

They are from the early days of the invasion, the msm reported it back then, the Youtube video means nothing, you can do your analysis today and post it on youtube it doesn't change the date of which the event occurred

Okpo!! The foolish Europeans cannot do without Russia energy. They will source for rubles and it will boost the value of ruble
Don't mind those pepper sellers who don't understand basic international trade. If Russia wants to kill it just request for rubble in cash they have to send euro to Russia in cash to buy rubble. Then Russia can spend the euro in cash as well no need for useless swift.

Putin is the smartest leader in the 21st century we might hate or like him. Even if he has some experts guiding him on some of these stuff. When he talks you can see he has a great knowledge about what he is talking about, history, economy, military, technology etc. When he talks you can see a man who knows what he is talking about in various fields and he only got a degree in law.

Omo after all is said and done.... Russia's economy is only as big as Texas, a state in the US. Many underestimate the resilience of their economy, thinking the dollars is the only reason for their dominance. Lol.
US economy has been the biggest (since 1841) long before the dollar became a global currency. Besides, They didn't impose the dollar on anybody, did they?

Russians keep showing up at the Mexican border everyday. Fleeing from Putin.

South China Morning Posted yesterday. They must be MSM too

Oh and the scramble for grocery and sugar started 4 or 5 days ago. Very fresh as the sanction is beginning to bite. Expect even more of this in the coming weeks.

Some smart bloke is messing with Putin's head.

If Russia will only accept Rubble, that means the buyers must get Rubles somehow.
Since buyers can't print their own Ruble, they have to buy it and guess with what currency?
Euro or Dollar of course and we are back to square one.

While this move will prop up the value of Ruble a bit, it won't save Russia's economy in the long run
should the invasion continue.
Dont mind that putin.
Re: Putin Wants Rubles For Russian Gas by WarriAproko: 6:53pm On Mar 23, 2022
See trick. U change ur dollars to rubble to buy gas. Then russia gets the dollar and buy outside with dollars

All the more reason why the US should not use it as a weapon...Even if dis Ukraine issue dies down & d sanctions are lifted.... A lot of countries would start to gradually wean off the $$,..just look at what uncle Joe did with Afghanistans frozen reserves( it was totally unfair as even d terrorists of 9/11 weren't Afghans).... Personally, I think d era of dollar dominance is coming to a close, it won't die off...but it would no longer be alone....And U.S & it's vassals plundered Iraq & Libya of thier gold reserves when they invaded( Libya gold was supposed to be used for African backed currency together with other resources)..So not surprising the US have d highest amount of Gold..

U.S had trust & power when it came to the dollar, unfortunately they let it get to thier head
You have a very good point about dollar waning away. Of course no one likes unilateral sanctions that U.S does most time to bend the countries toward her foreign policy.

But the U.S does not steal Gold from Libya. During the Second world war. The US had the largest economy due to its military-industrial complex boom then, by making and selling weapons to Europe with payment in Gold. So U.S gold has been mounted up after the second world war, not because of any stealing of Gold in Libya.

Russia only supply 40% gas to Europe because of close proximity, Europe are looking for alternatives but nigerians putin are complaining how they won't get supply from somewhere else. Do you know more than Europeans? Please answer me oooo.

Watch na. Argument tire me. Of course it will be more expensive but nothing compared to the rubbish inflation going on in Nigeria, if you can survive Nigeria, Europeans will survive without Russia.

The Democrat will ruin this beautiful country. Americans have no clue what that means.
They have gotten a free ride since Bretton Woods.
Just wait till they can't use paper to buy real things.
And the rest of the world will not fund their budget deficits and military adventures.
The US$ falls, so does the empire
Heavily Sanctioning an economy as big as Russia has never happened before. So it is an experiment that no one knows what the outcome would be. The sanctioned and the sanctioners are taking steps that they don't really know what the true outcome will be.

As of today Germany still buys gas from Russia

Qatar told the EU the other day they can supply them the amount if gas needed.

What you don't know is Qatar and Saudi have been lying about their reserves and it will take years to get the logistics right if at all they do infact have the capacity

You probably think buying gas is the same as buying stuff on amazon, no its not.
Germany just dumped Russian gas and you are feeding your opinion. This is a contractual agreement, not opinion.

The rest of the world especially Europe won't sit around and let some mad and unstable clown keeps jerking them around and blackmailing them, alternatives are all over the place and Germany the largest consumer of Russian oil dumping Russian oil for Qatar means Russia is on a long tin.

Oil sanction is next..

Smart guy that is exactly what Russia is doing and even those that do not have ordinary D in economics are saying it is a bad move. The only solution is for EU not to buy their gas if they truly want to sanction them.
