Russia demanded that oil/natural gas purchases be paid in rubles, not in dollars or euros. Since there is a shortage of rubles outside of Russia, the exchange rate between dollars/euros to rubles is changing. The price you have to pay to purchase a ruble keeps increasing because rubles are in short supply.

One unfortunate side-effect of using phony-baloney paper with pictures Stalin printed on it is that prices inside Russia keep rising faster and faster:

Do you realize you wrote the same thing at 8:38 PM? Or did you forget because of intoxication?

Russia's ultimate goal is clearly stated. There is no longer any need to read between the lines when Putin compares himself with Peter the Great.

Putin’s justification: “In order to claim some kind of leadership – I am not even talking about global leadership, I mean leadership in any area – any country, any people, any ethnic group should ensure their sovereignty. Because there is no in-between, no intermediate state: either a country is sovereign, or it is a colony, no matter what the colonies are called.”

The implication is clear: there are two categories of state. The sovereign and the conquered. In Putin’s view, Ukraine falls into the latter category.

From Russian official statements in the last months, Finland, the Baltic states and Europe itself fall into the latter category. The Conqueror must have the strongest currency in the world.

Putin warned the West that he would strike new targets in Ukraine after the U.S. announced the transfer of four HIMARS to Ukraine.

On Wednesday, deputy chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee Yuri Shvytkin took things a step further, saying that the transfer of HIMARS to Ukraine "underlines the step-by-step movement towards a third world war on the part of the United States."

"You need to understand that we must respond harshly. In my opinion, today the reaction should also take place in those countries that supply weapons. And not just to destroy infrastructure and so on, but I think the main decision-making center is the US Embassy," Shvytkin told the Russian news outlet Lenta.ru. "I think that sooner or later this will become a target for the armed forces of Russia."

Rebekah Koffler, author of "Putin's Playbook: Russia's Secret Plan to Defeat America," said "This would be a message to the US to stop providing weaponry to Ukraine. But it’s all risky and the threshold is very high for this decision."

Presumably, Putin won't bomb the White House or the World Trade Center, but there is nothing stopping him except his own imagination. The sky is open to everything, including cruise missiles fired from Russian submarines offshore from DC and Manhattan.

Ukraine received four HIMARS on Thursday after the U.S. trained forces on how to use them. Four more HIMARS were also announced this week as part of the more than $6 billion in military aid that the U.S. has provided for the country over the last four months.

You just linked a pro-war article from a Leftist trash shill site.

THIS is what Democrats are now.

You suck. Your party sucks.

We are watching the death of the Democratic Party.

And I'm sitting up top here with the blacks and the Mexicans and watching the white racists fall apart.

Putin says he would attack Finland, Lithuania, Poland, Germany. He also said he'd nuke the UK and USA. There is nothing stopping Putin but his imagining that the USA would retaliate against Russia. This kind of thing has happened before, but the USA didn't retaliate until years too late against countries on a murder-rampage against their neighbors:

Japan went on a murder-rampage in July 7, 1937. Germany in September 1, 1939. President Roosevelt wanted those countries stopped but the Republican and Dixiecrat Senators called FDR a warmonger until Pearl Harbor Day, Dec. 7, 1941. FDR could have stopped Japan and Germany in only a year's fighting, but Republican and Dixiecrat Senators would let those separate wars blossom into the biggest fire fight in Earth's history because the Senators would not vote for a declaration of war.

Now that I think of it, US Senators haven't voted for a declaration of war in 80 years. A majority of Senators are too irresponsible to make a decision about war or anything of substance, which is why the Senate has been malfunctioning for 80 years and getting worse and worse as the Senate has filled up with more and more elderly folk.

You accuse me of lying... by lying. Yup.
