  • In contrast to what Lemmy or any other internet community is claiming, I do not know economics enough to say what’s happening with the Russian economy for certain.

    But what can I see, is that inflation is not as high as in 2022 or 2014 and Russian authorities have downed the amount of foreign currency a company that sells something for dollars should exchange for roubles. And the war is still going on.

    So… notwithstanding the colossal sanctions, Russia is still standing 🤷🏼‍♂️ but the west has run out of things that they can sanction. Unless you think that potash, ammonia, natural gas, and nuclear fuel would be sanctioned in the near future. In this case, please consult reality. The choice that we’re about to see made is between abandoning Ukraine and military intervention.
