China is actually richer and owns a major chunk of US debts. They literally own the US.

May be I should ask you what you mean by "rich"?
Cos someone that owes the highest debt on earth is ironically being praised as being rich...

Wtf... China is richer than USA...
Stop living In fantasy bro...

The world revolves round US...

ken6488:
Actually Russia has turned to gold

Thank you, you are smart. And that is the main reason US is hell bent on crippling Russian economy. Next in line is China or South Africa.

If na me b putin I for just Cut short the supply for gas to Europe so that the price of gas go shoot up to punish all of them.Nor worry putin dey watch all of them.

Why is Biden playing out all his cards!
This is not how it is played
What if you run out of aces?

We are Americans, the greatest country the world has ever known. There is no limit to what we can do to bring any country down. Russia is now officially a third world country for the next 50 yrs even at this point. And it can only get worse from here.
For people that claim Russia and Putin to be strong, why are the Sanctions a one way traffic? What are they doing to hurt Americans back?

Ukraine is running out of breath. All the cards will be on the table now and salvage what remains as Ukraine. They may have dollars but no activities except living in bunkers and waiting for aid and light gorilla weapons

the economic sanctions does not favor Russia at all. When the Whole Western Europe and USA, many countries refused to do business to Russia, this is bad for the Russia economic. If USA banned the supply of Dollars, I trust the European Union will follow suit and ban the supply of Euro. No matter how much gold reserves Russia have, if the Russia Ruble is tanking since Last week. The only country that can help Russia to survive these economic sanctions is China.

Hello dumb-dumb. Have you ever heard of bitcoin(digital currency), gold assets, euro, yuan, etc. Most of you western asslickers dont think sha. And is not just this month that USA started imposing heavy sanctions on Russia. Ever since dems came on board, it is one sanction or another because Russia interfered in their election according to them.

So isnt Russia still surviving

Not nairaland stuff, better send to nairametrics

Dollar Served well for the elites of Africa and their families.
Once upon a time we were economically independent (One Naira for $1.50) now we are slaves

That same whip has hovered over us since Babangida took IMF loans
Let us forget Russia and focus on ourselves .We were forced to "open our markets" and be "competitive" since then we have become unproductive and relevant for energy which we have sold at giveaway for years. Forced to open markets and trade and so we produce next to nothing and import everything

In reals terms since the 70s has oil price kept up with inflation oil used to be $30 at a time when a Fligt from Lagos to PH was 28 Naira

They can sanction us . We need to wake up to reality we cannot trade with the West and benefit. They have been screwing us for ever
Let us create our own "dollar , learn to use oil inside Nigeria to produce stuff to sell to Niger Cameroon and our Neighbours Let them keep their reserves with us. Let us take charge of security in West and Central Africa. it seems there is a demand for fighters everywhere We MUST learn to make weapons drones ,helicopters ourselves. See America sold us helicopter and gave conditions for their use. Niger
supplies uranium to France but does Niger have power? Why can't Niger have a nuclear power plant and sell energy to West Africa. They export the Uranium and suffer the effects of mining in the dessert dust and wind. That is dollarization. Once upon a time they came her to take us away as slaves now the dollar is used to keep us slaving in Ghana and Nigeria boasting we are "cocoa farmers" but dare not make chocolate. That is dollarization. How does that work ? Well they imposed a condition that they will bring in "investments" if the interest rate is high enough but they would be allowed to transfer money home without restrictions and all disputes are settled by THEIR COURTS and you keep your reserves in THEIR BANKS. They allow some big men to steal some which is also kept in their banks just like the Russians and they pretend not to know. They control the market for Chocolate and have the brand. Is it that Russia does not have meat or bread or potatoes? Why do they need McDonalds= branding
Well the way I see it let Nigeria be the reserve currency for Nigeria.


Rather than talking like a slave should one be thinking of how not to be vulnerable to having your assets frozen overnight

Is this not an overreach? I think Biden here is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. There are no permanent friends or permanent enemies in international relations. Just permanent interests.

These sanctions will only be worthwhile if they topple Vladimir Putin. Dictators such as Saddam Hussein or the Ayatollahs have hung on to power despite crushing sanctions and the common people feel the full weight instead.

Alienating the Russian economy will hit America hard. Already, the high price of petrol is already causing disquiet amongst Americans. The high price isn't due to high demand but rather scarcity, occasioned by the omission of Russian crude oil products from part of the global market.

I think Zelensky may soon call for peace unless he's stupid enough to see his country burn. Russian victory, will be prrhicc (can't spell the word). There'll be guerilla attacks which will make whatever victory, horrid, like what the Americans faced in Iraq

Pyrrhic and not prrhicc

Why has the USA and Nato not sanctioned China who supports Russia?

Comradewhy:
Another blow on Russia's economy, well the U.S. dollar is the world’s major reserve currency and has served well for the global economy.
Russia does not trade much with the world and its main exports - gas and oil - are all tied to the U.S. dollar. .
Alternative methods would be complicated with foreign exchange risks and just too messy for Russia's economy.
How do they even plan on surviving this?
Trading with other countries is going to be a torn in flesh for Russia.

pro Russian idiots will soon come and shout China yuan will assist

shogsman:

Sebi you're saying nobody is Thier mate like china is living in your created imagination abi,the way y'all just run mouth on things una no get sef nawa, but I suppose you don't have to know anything to comment on nairaland.
Just so you know Putin can nuke USA and Europe to hell with just a click of a button,he is still in control of the world biggest wmd, I'd go deep but this is obviously not your forte bro,Shalom

this stupid comment just showed why many of you on nairaland are a waste of time. it is better to teach a goat how to speak english than to engage the likes of you in a debate.

Igbofam:


Wrong. The Sanctions on Russia are now 100 times worse than the Sanctions on North Korea.

Their stock exchange no longer exists. Their Ruble has become toilet paper, They are currently going through hyper inflation, all foreign business are pulling out or suspending their operations there.

In essence their version of civilization is being erased right before their eyes.

Wetin remain now na for the citizens to hunt Putin down and tear him limb from limb and it is only a matter of time before this begins to happen

Not bad nah

Make Russia turn to north Korea cos north Korea is printing fake dollars

I swear that country is crazy, then even have state sponsored cyber hackers stealing money from banks and individual.

Russia can't sell its gold, unfortunately. No one will touch for fear of breaking sanctions. The only country able to dare is China. How will it pay for it? Probably in Yuan which does not carry the weight of the Dollar, and worse, the over-leveraged Chinese economy is wobbly

and the Yuan is a highly manipulated currency

shogsman:

Typical olodo, what do you know,the same USA has more than $30t in debt that's more than 250% of it's entire gdp

It's not even up to 100%. You Pootin lap dogs lie with reckless abandon
