Related: About this forumRussian Ruble Collapses to Record Low as Economy Crashes - Joe Blogs
The value of the Russian Ruble has COLLAPSED over the past 12 months and the value has now fallen to more than 100 against the US Dollar. The only other time that this has happened was 14th AUGUST when the Russian Central Bank called an Emergency Meeting and Hiked Interest Rates by 350bps. In this video I discuss this issue in more detail and the implications for the Russia Economy.

(36,705 posts)1. I have been reading the same headline in various forms ever since Russia
invaded Ukraine. Somehow Russia is still in Ukraine and Putin is being backed by the Republican party here.
There are signs that the EU is also losing their resolve.

The only hail mary Putin has left is a Trump or a Trump-lite winning the Presidency. The Countries that matter in Europe won't abandon Ukraine.

We are seeing support of NATO members such as Portugal and Norway that are far from the conflict, but know that containing Russia is essential.
