YouTube is actively hiding this video
is this "Ukraine on Fire"? I didn't click the link but I am hazarding a guess since I know YouTube deleted the video as soon as this "war" began.

A few days ago putin announced that Russia will only sell their gas in rubles, starting March 31, very smart move, it's stupid selling gas in a currency that you cant use, my excitement is that its going to majorly affect america, they need the dollar to maintain it's relevance globally or their economy will crumble, Russia's decision will change the game completely, unlike Gaddafi or Saddam, Putin has nuclear weapons grin

Evidence of it's effects are already obvious, weeks ago, 1 usd almost 140 ruble after sanctions, today its 1 usd = 96 ruble


Given that most European countries are dependent on Russian exports, they will have to void their own sanctions to prevent uprising in their countries, irony is that sanctions were placed on Russia to instigate uprisings cheesy

it's baffling that European policy makers didn't see this coming and even have the gall to talk about contract violations, deluded fools

Not just America, Germany is essentially crippled as they are heavily reliant on Russian gas.

[Romero] Antonio Rüdiger asked for a meeting with Barcelona right after their 4-0 win against Real Madrid; the player liked Barça’s proposal but the offer is lower than the ones from other clubs.

There's nothing special about Putin or any of his feats. If not for nuclear weapons Russia has, nobody will be paying attention to their conflicts with Ukraine.

They are all empty threats. Russia will crumble without selling their Gas.

Brother, trust me, they are not empty threats at all. Russia is responsible for greater than or circa 40% of the gas supply in Europe. Germany for e.g is virtually wholly dependent on Russian gas supply. They are all boxed into a corner. They either have to pay in Rubles or they will find a mediator nation to pay in dollars/euros and that nation in turn will still have to pay Russia in Rubles because logistically there is no other way and all of them know it. Putin then pegged the Ruble with a gram of Gold (which is a less volatile asset) so you either pay him in Rubles or you pay him in Gold. That is why the Ruble has been rebounding to its previous "pre-invasion" level.

You will have to delve into the history of the Petro dollar to understand why the dollar became the standard medium of exchange. Then you will have to understand the pacts and agreements that were signed between nations concerning earnings in petro dollar to know that what Biden did with freezing of Russian USD reserves was tantamount to theft. Europe cannot turn around to cry foul now citing similar agreements as reason why Russia cannot force them to use Rubles to pay. There is someone who put it best on here about how nations knew the rules of the game but decided to change it when it was Russia's turn to play.

Bookmark this: those European nations will either lift off their sanctions or they will do exactly what Putin has demanded. There is no way out except they kill the man or oust him - neither of which is likely considering he represents what the average Russian feels about the west in general.

Hazard is playing in Madrid a team stronger than PSG yet he is posting the worst numbers ever seen in football history for an attacker

Neymar in PSG, Neymar in Barcelona even Neymar in his sleep is better than Hazard in Madrid
How is someone that is not playing due to injury faking poor stats. This must be influence of Canadian loud.

Was he a starter in all the 65 games. How many players come from another league and hit the ground running. How do you expect someone struggling with injury to hit the ground running. Modric peaked under Ancelotti, it took him a little time without injury.
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Ibime(m): 8:33pm On Mar 31, 2022
The Europeans will pay to Gazprom bank in Euros and Russia will convert it to Roubles.

It's not as dramatic as Putin paints it to be i.e de-eurolisation, it's simply Russia trying to get its hands back on Foreign Exchange to help absorb economic shocks.

Russia Foreign Exchange reserves have been seized on the SWIFT system. This is a way of ensuring they get Foreign Exchange in their banking system so they can defend the Rouble.

On the long term timeframe, he's turned Russia to a mono-economy. The only worth Rouble has will be tied to energy until he leaves office, which as the Naira knows is a very temperamental state of affairs. People hold your currency on Trust, reliability of your behaviour, as a store of value, and for a diverse range of trading activities. Nobody will be holding Rouble henceforth except Russian central bank using it to defend their currency. Most of Russias balance of trade will henceforth be spent on protecting standard of living (See Sanusi spending billions of $ to keep Naira at N150 to the dollar). You defend your currency by Investor confidence, not by burning foreign exchange. The minute there is a demand shock in energy like in 2015, Rouble will plummet.

There is also a divergence of aims between Russia and China. Russia imports goods and exports commodities while China exports goods and imports commodities. Chinas aim is a strong dollar while Russias aim is a weak dollar. These two aims are incongruous. Not only that, but China does not like increase in Commodity prices, same as Western World.

In addition, oil shocks are always followed by oil gluts. The oil shock caused by Iran in 1979 led to a reaction from the world that produced an oil glut in the 1980s. That was when Nigeria fell off the cliff. Oil shock of Iraq/Syria in Jonathan tenure sparked the Shale revolution that crashed market in 2015. Unfortunate President being Buhari once again. Speaking of Iran oil shock of 1979, Putin is taking Russia down the same path as Iran, but neophytes will claim it's genius. It never ends well. The West can spend money on energy longer than an enemy can stay solvent.
