    I’m not surprised there are no comments yet. The Putin apologists don’t like it when factual numbers are posted. It’s hard to ignore or argue against math.

      Oh, give them a break. Don’t you realize that they’re busy deciding if they should keep repeating the gospel about the sanctions’ lack of effect, or blame DaWest™ for the actual state of the ruble??

      they’re busy trying to find a convoluted way to present this as actually being a win for Russia that they’ll copy paste over and over, while telling anyone who calls them out that they should go back to reddit lol

      Yes, because China didn’t take full advantage of Russia’s situation to buy Russian oil for bellow market rate.
