Disagree. This article is about how the Yen is losing to the dollar.
That’s due to the current EU gas&oil blockade.
And if you’re wondering why that would prop up the dollar, it’s because the US has made Saudi Arabia an offer it couldn’t refuse and so the Saudis are forced to sell their oil in dollars. Other countries followed suit, except for Russia nowadays which is now demanding their oil be paid in their own “such blackmail” currency.
Russia IS in europe, so I don’t see how my view is any more eurocentric than yours. Not to mention that my comment is focused on Russia. Russia is going to pull through the crisis. We’re not.
And the reason is very simple:
We’re already in a major major government debt crisis, regardless of the war in Ukraine.
Russia isn’t. All your country is going through is punishment of a group of nations that are all collapsing economically together.
And they’re punishing Russia because the US is collapsing and the rest are lapdogs.
The US is collapsing, a situation they’ve never close to experienced before and they’re doing what they’ve always done when there’s a crisis, scapegoating a group. And that group of people is YOU!
The US wants to punish all of Russia, not Putin.
They want you and your country enslaved or dead.
So I would really like to know why you, a Russian, would be against ending an 8-year war Ukraine has been fighting against those who are oppressed for being Russian speaking done by literal nazis.
Those people are fighting for getting MacDonalds back and not wanting to learn how to download extra stores for apps like UnionPay, because Apple and Google won’t be offering it anymore for them.
Meanwhile, food and energy prices are going through the roof here in the EU and the US.
And the Donbass republics are glad their 9000 deaths in order to gain independence was not in vain.

I don’t think he makes jokes in that manner.
