Mr. Volgr. I'm going to say this with respect. You are fooling yourself. Do you understand how many roubles it would take to buy a dollar? They have not even been kicked out of the banking system yet, and the UK just announced a new round of sanctions in the works. Few are buying russian oil anymore. They do it when they have to, and that's not going to last long. The people he is able to sell oil to are buying it at such a discount that it is actually starting to COST them money to get it out. That's if you can get it past countries like Greece, who are confiscating russian oil barges when they find them. Everyone knew he would consolidate, and try to prop up the rouble, which he could only do by isolating russia more. Americans don't like it, and they are going to bitch about it, but they are SPENDING LIKE MAD. Nobody in America is cancelling thier vacations, they are just going to be real pissy about it.
I'll disagree with this part. This always happens when inflation and fuel prices go sky high.
