Yes. I do. And I will allow you to look it up for yourself --- in the many very recent obvious articles -- and educate yourself.
LOL "Go read" As I suspected, you don't know shit. Do yourself a favor and go learn how this works before firing from the hip. If Putin gets dollars and euros, it can still be used to support the ruble.
Yep. Getting his ass handed to him. Putin says Russia will enforce rouble payments for gas from Friday March 31, 202210:16 AM EDTLast Updated 2 hours ago
It is sad that you can't even look up many of the recent articles on this subject. Let's just provide one from AP -- so you can get some insight. EXPLAINER: What would paying for natural gas in rubles mean? https://apnews.com/article/russia-u...rmany-europe-f9f4132e84bee437d82cb9f51c58aa8e
Again, posting an article doesn't mean you know shit. I specifically said "tell me how it works" without an article. You can't.
LOL.... I am not going to take time to explain something obvious to you.... when there are many sources with the information. If you are so smart -- explain to us. I expect you can't explain how it works in your own words.
Sure. Its quite simple. In a very short and abbreviated fashion, if other countries buy in rubles, it obviously supports the ruble (as they have to sell their currencies against the ruble). If they buy in Euro/Dollars, then Russia's dollar/euro reserves are increased, and they use those reserves to defend the ruble. It may be slightly more complicated for them to do so given sanctions, but because the sanctions aren't total, its not that much more of a big deal. See? No article needed. And now you've been schooled so you can go to all the other forums you post on and explain it like you finally learned something.
I haven't read any of your silly articles. I understand how it works. Besides, if it were so simple to just read articles and "spit out" what they said, why couldn't you do it after being asked several times? Lastly, if that is truly what the article say, and you agree, then buying oil in rubles, dollars or euros makes no difference, and Putin didn't get his ass handed to him. So you were wrong. Again. Don't you get tired of being beat up like the red-headed stepson in Alabama on Sunday after church?
Next you will be claiming that Putin's invasion of Ukraine has been highly successful and Putin is not getting his ass handed to him in Ukraine. This is how your fantasies work -- despite all the evidence to the contrary.
