Was it not foolishness for world leaders to agree to peg the world's economy against a currency with no actual value? The error was bound to be corrected at some point. Let's see how it plays out. You have seen the armada of gas laden ships from USA going to Europe though?
Do you think they are actually that daft? they all agreed under duress. Many govt that didn't agree were toppled, presidents assassinated, scanders of corruption and sexual related issues tagged on some. I heard rumour our then president was called to agree and sign to it else CIA had 2 or 3 people close to him to assassinate him and become president. A US puppet.

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.
Yeah, this is very interesting. Let's see how they will react to this new development. They will have to source for rubbles

Which is why he should have leveraged that to push demand for the Ruble not now that Europe is galvanising itself to wean off Russian energy.
He made a brilliant decision at the right time. The EU are trying to replace Russian gas. But it won't happen over night. It will take years to achieve that. So before they abandon Russian gas. They will be forced to sort for Ruble to pay for Russian gas. Russia too will find another buyer to replace them. It os as simple as that.

What's good about the move? Who do you think will stress to meet such demands when other countries have gas to sell.

Putin is a stupid man and it is getting clearer for the world to see.
It's obvious you're reading from another world, Germany will buy and so will other countries.

It depends how much countries hold in Rubles. If the countries don't have enough - it means they can't buy gas and oil (presumably excepting anything already agreed/contracted in £,$ etc). For Putin - his economy is in free fall - this could (temporarily) increase the value of the Ruble.

It means countries will have to buy Rubles from others, thereby driving up the price. It would be the same impact as Russia buying Its own currency - but because of its foreign reserves being frozen it can't do. This is less of a retaliation and more a necessity for Russia.
it will also lead to Western nations abandoning Russia gas faster.

Russia will be forced to reduce it's gas price, thereby driving the cost of oil n gas lower over time.

All the food we eat can be produced here, we have oil we have gold yet we're still boi boi for UK. I just don't understand. Even as big and resource filled as we are nobody even respect us.
It is not easy to do that bro. Most of these western countries have placed most third world countries in position where by they will keep struggling. It is a delibrate act to keep us poor through IMF, World bank and co

These sanctions has revealed the strength and endurance of the Russian people. Every country should try as much as possible, no matter how difficult to be sanction-proof, it's the only way to live well in a world led by imperialist, and post-colonial warlords. Sovereignty is sacrosanct, and sadly, only few countries are truly Sovereign.

The rule of thumb used to determine truly Sovereign countries are any country the west hate with burning passion, AND will do/support anything to break it internally and externally. Russia is one, then China, Iran and Syria. Before it was Libya, but its been defeated. You can argue that some of these countries are poor, and you're probably right. But a golden prison is still a prison. Freedom is priceless.

I respect Putin for being strong and courageous but what baffles me is his level of foolishness and miscalculation. How on earth do he think he will a war against almost the entire world?, that's impossible.
Putin should just accept sincere negotiation with Ukraine or risk drawing Russians 50 years backward.
I think, it is not all about Putin. He has one of the greatest economic team in the world.

This shows that they are prepared for the war economically.

Now that NATO has even strengthens it's forces around Eastern Europe. What is Putin going to do since that is what he always hated?

Is he going to invade other eastern European countries too. Time would tell.

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.

Haha tell me who are the trade partners of the above countries?

Now tell me the trade partners of Russia and how heavily they depend on the trade Russia offers them

Please, lets think and use our brain before commenting, no insult intended
You should rather ask who were their trade partners before they were sanctioned, since you clearly cannot think straight.

The US was heavily reliant on Venezuelan oil much more than they are to Russia today, that didn’t stop them from getting sanctioned. the US is also top 3 biggest oil producers, their reliance is based on their population and clean energy which Russia doesn’t give a f about. If the US wants to play dirty international politics and not give a F about our environment, they can cut off Russia’s gas to Europe from Russia.

Quarter already got a deal to Supply the Germans, who else can Russia rely on to buy their oil? China or India? that will only send Russia’s oil to the pits.

OP STOP SPEWING NONSENSE HERE.

Qatar said it agreed to work on supplying Germany with liquefied natural gas as Europe’s biggest economy seeks to reduce its dependence on Russian energy.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-20/germany-reaches-deal-to-buy-qatari-gas-in-pivot-from-russia
While Qatar was the world’s biggest LNG producer last year, its officials had previously said it couldn’t help much because most of its gas is sold under long-term supply contracts to Asia. Only 10% to 15% of Qatari LNG can be diverted at short notice. The rest would need the permission of contracted buyers to be sent to Europe.

Did you read the above part of the article?

Boss, you are too brilliant
courage89:
It’s not a matter of finding gas, anybody/country can do that. It’s about completion and production. That takes resources including technology, financial and most especially time. Can the EU afford 1 year without Russian gas? The answer is no.

The US is fast tracking their LNG development and shipment to counter Russian competitive advantage in Europe. The question at the end of the day will come to pricing. Can the US compete with Russia based on Logistic pricing? Vessel logistics vs. piping
