Also, isn't the Russian ruble one of the best performing currencies at the moment?

Yes, but the problem lies how they are manipulating their currency and how it is not sustainable. It can last for a while but it will have a massive crash sooner or later.

Yeah, just like everyone else.

It's like when I see people coping about how Russians are going to be making cars without airbags and ABS. Meanwhile in Europe, we're not making any cars at all and there are multi-year waiting lists, just like during communism. Wow, we sure showed them.

Maybe in purely western countries, but it's pretty fucking good to China, India, Japan...

I'm trying to figure out what angle Brandon's puppeteers are trying to take here. Oil is fungible, and Russia's border is so massive embargoing it is impossible. So when they drive up the price of oil via policy that is more money for Putler.

Then, because the USA is removing itself from being the middle man (petrodollar) results in waning influence globally. This could what the puppeteers want I suppose...

TLDR: Stopping US domestic energy (driving up oil prices) only helps Putin.

This isn't about harming Russia, Russia is just a means to an end. Part of this is about harming Russia's oil and gas execs who are trying to cut off the dem's embezzlement scheme. Part is distracting the world from how bad they are getting fucked by the elite. Part is controlling americans like good little sheep. There's several more reasons, but those are the biggest. They are petty and short-sighted, they do not believe they will face any backlash or long-term harms for their actions because america is powerful and they never have suffered the consequences of their actions.

It’s almost like relying on your enemies for fuel is bad policy.
