what new world order? dont talk nonsense!


GTkester:



Loolol, don't flatter yourself! US and UK have all tapped out of sanctions. They have wasted all their sanctions on Russia since 2014, and now they do not have any leverage on Russia.

So, welcome to the berth of a new world order!!

The Russian economy was affected pretty badly by the sanctions...

The U.S. sanction would expand a technology export ban to include any goods made with U.S. components or software, as well as proposed sanctions against specific Russian billionaires. But sanctions experts say more than any other measure, aggressive action against Russia's state banks would hit its economy the hardest..


Proposed sanctions against Russian banks would bar them from making any transactions in U.S. dollars, essentially freezing any dollar-denominated assets or liabilities held by the banks at home and abroad..
You think that won't affect their economy badly?let me keep laughing..
total value of US transaction done in dollar is less than 10%. Russia's currency is the only fully gold-backed currency. How do you even sanction Russia banks beyond the sanctions already in place? I don't need to quote online media to reply you. I have this info off hand. There are very few sanctions left beyond what's already being sanctioned. Honestly. Most Russia banks don't even have any dollar dominated asset due to the Crimea sanction, what are you saying bro?

The intelligence of Putin is not natural I swear. A war with Russia is just a stupid war... That's one country that has never been colonized or conquered before. Besides there was a referendum in Crimea and the people decided to follow Russia. All these western media are just trying to twist history. Putin is not a man that can be threatened or blackmailed. He's light years above his peers!
But your Nigerian government don't want the same referendum for those who wants to decide their future.

That is what the US want you to believe

Russia hosted one of the best football World Cups in memory and we all saw that it is not as shitty as the West portray

It may not be wealthy as America but what are the facts

Its population is under 200 million. It sells 5 x as much oil as Nigeria, a lot more gas and is one of the largest sellers of weapons. It is a net exporter of food
Its GDP per capita is $10000 similar to that of China
bro, forget about hosting world cup sir. Russia economy is trash. No work, nothing nothing in Russia. I have a close friend that traveled to Russia,for greener pastures, but ran back even before his visa expires. He said Russia is worst, no work and their economy is wack.

How? They don't trade with the dollar? US companies aren't even investing in those regions, and you're now banning them from investing in where they don't invest before. The only sanction that can hurt Russia right now is if they yank them off swift, or cancel the Nord stream 2 project with Europe. Every sanction right now is just play.

US is the biggest economy..yes most world trade happens in US dollars but to make the sanctions effective it need to threaten to sanction third parties...

So for US sanctions to be effective unless US has monopoly on something they will threaten to sanctions not only the country.. but also companies trading with that country...So for example if US sanction Nigeria and BMW export cars there US will sanction BMW and refuse to import from BMW or export anything to that company. Since US is a huge market and most companies of some value have some connection to US this makes the sanctions effective.

For sanctions on Iran big oil companies are reluctant to invest in the oil business in Iran because it can hurt more than they will earn...

Without these third party sanctions, US sanctions wouldn't be effective and companies outside US would get a competitive edges in that region...
What other country has this kinda power?

All international transactions pass through US treasury. If you don’t know this, know it now. If US says you can’t buy, you can’t buy. If the US says you can’t sell, you can’t sell. Ask Iran how far. And that is why US is saying “no “ to Crypto because they can’t control it. Russia will cease to be what it is today if it eventually invades Ukraine. Putin is just a mad man. He will ruin Russia.

Why was sanctions placed on their defense industry?

Using strictly rubles for calculations is impossible today, owing to the ruble’s high volatility.. It’s, therefore, impossible to sign long term contracts...

In view of the international division of labor, all calculations must be tied to some equivalent. The question is - if not the dollar, then what?
So where is your statement coming from? cheesy
Russia cannot do international business without using US dollars, which is the global reserve currency. That is why US sanctions hurt them.

It won't affect the US dollar much.. wink..
Russia did not decide to get rid of USD. Just decrease amount it is holding. Getting rid of USD will not happen anytime soon as a lot of international transactions are settled in USD...get your facts right.. cheesy
You can't say they don't trade with dollar..

[quote author=FERNANDEZISBACK post=110430253]This might have an effect on Russia to be sincere..
To my knowledge there isn't really any precedent since 1945 for a great power annexing another country to both gain land and intimidate another superpower...
Right now there's a spectrum for what what could happen..

The only section that can cripple Russian economy is if its targeted towards its gas sector. As it is now, I doubt if Europe can do without Russia Gas. Germany who happens to be the biggest player in Europe already facilitated Nord stream 2 which will help to double Russia gas sales in Europe. Its a complex situation. Mind you, Russia is fighting for its own existence as west are also moving closer and closer through Nato.

Totally unrelated to fighting a world power with intention to replacing it. You are out of context.

Your claim was that China has come this far without invading another country or kingdom with the intent of overpowering them - that is wrong.

Guy forget leave story. So if Russia blows up Ukraine, will russia remain d same? U no sabi d west sha. Na war wey no concern dem dey like flex power. Go read the story of beginning of ww2. It was when germany invaded poland that made britain and france to declare war on Germany. And dem hear am. So if Russia dare bomb Ukraine,it will trigger world war 3. And Russia will not remain the same.

You do know the Germans annexed Austria before Poland and the UK and France did nothing. Italy took over Ethiopia, the reason UK and France declared war was because they saw the writing on the wall that if they don't engage the German's soon they would be next.

You can easily get female companion in the US too if you have money. There are lot of Gold diggers in the US. there lot of cheap girls in the US who would easily go naked in public just for a thousand bucks.
America has experienced Greater Recession than Russia. Am not saying Russia is Richer than Us, just pointing out to you that every country has their downside

In the United States more than 40.6 million people live in poverty, caused mainly by wage inequality, inflation and poor education. The vast majority living in poverty is uneducated people that end up increasing more unemployment and crime.

European countries need russia.
The whole gas use in germany supply by russia.
What of austria, italy etc.

Russia is big market for european countries products.
ETC.

America is the problem in this case not russia.

One idiot on here Said : Russia is messed Up.

The economy of Russia is a mixed economy, with enormous natural resources, particularly oil and natural gas. It is the fifth-largest economy in Europe, the world's eleventh-largest economy by nominal GDP, and the sixth-largest by PPP.

Being brainwashed and thinking you know so much is exactly what you are displaying here. What do you know about the interior of Russia? You don't speak Russian and probably haven't even met a Russian but you know you could get Russian women to runaway with you for cheap. If so how many have you been able to pick as companions or to elope with you? Grow out of your brainwashed cocoon
