(283 posts)The Ruble is still around 98 to the dollar. So the Russians have lost 30% of their purchasing power. China will sell to them. The world money lizards have shrugged their shoulders and said, "Ukraine is going to be leveled, but my portfolio is going to be just fine. What can I buy at a discount right now?"
I hate to say it, but money talks, and it's said, "Let Russia have Ukraine. Maybe we'll worry about it more if they invade Germany. Until then, don't bother me."
All the super yachts don't mean squat. It let's all the idiots think we're actually doing something. Ask the Crimerians or the Syrians how their wars worked out for them. Cheerleading from a safe place doesn't mean anything. We are masters of that.
