Sigh. Here we go again, a reprise of Biden's 2022 promise that "the Ruble will be rubble". I think that once again, the rumours of the death of the Russian economy are highly exaggerated.
The US Dollar to Ruble exchange rate isn't that important anymore, due to somethign called "sanctions". I suggest you Google this word. Sanctions have literally transformed the global economy. They have boomeranged against the West, driving Europe's economy into tatters, while at the same time allowing Russia to become self-sufficient. These sanctions have also led to the proliferation of the BRICS.
Meanwhile, beware those who tell you that Russia is on the brink of collapse. We have heard this before.
Every month the message was the same:

- Ten days earlier Avril Haines, America’s top intelligence official, had offered a similar assessment.
One year later — they are STILL doing it!
