To prop up Rubles, which mean the economic damage is starting to become more dire. Since those are Russia's remaining export, that's no small change. And those new rubles can then be injected into the circulation without printing more currencies, hence keeping the inflation down
I hate to say it but literally no, u. The UN was "formed in part to define borders" only in that it's a place for countries to talk about them (comparatively) civilly. It has zero power whatsoever, and it was designed that way on purpose. Countries still have to define their own borders themselves and form treaties with their neighbors- the UN is simply an avenue through which to do that instead of marching an army in a direction and seeing when the neighbors start getting uncomfortable.
My (limited) understanding is that keeping rouble weak was excellent for a resource-export based economy with all transactions paid in foreign currency, since you could literally afford more rouble bang for an american buck. Now that foreign currency became useless (nobody's selling anything to Russia), there is no reason to keep doing this, so might as well add more inflation to the already overheating US economy. It is yet another salvo fired in the hybrid war with long-term consequences that are impossible to predict because there have been no such precedent.
A lot of oily fish and not the good kind of oily fish.
Weak currency is good for the exporters - it means that if currency value dropped 5%, international buyers have 5% discount without producer taking any nation. This comes to bite you when you buy anything from foreign nation. Given that Russia exports natural resources, and buys pretty much everything else, I don't think that weak ruble favors Russia in any way.
Yeah, the current administration blundered into a new Cold War based on the advice of insane Neoconservatives who basically told him, "The Russians are weak! We are strong! We can defeat them easily!" Without worrying about anything but the military dimension of the war. Well, I'm sure Biden is thinking, "I'm going to be dead soon enough, might as well take the entire world with me."
I noticed you didn't deny the economic consequences, which is good because anyone with half a brain understands them. The fact that they're a month into their invasion and haven't gained complete air superiority or come close to their goal of capturing the capital is what I find more important. Also their typical and legendarily bad logistics issues.
It's difficult when Redditards and normies got such a head-start on the stupidity race. The Clapping Einsteins of Kyiyiyiyiv made them lose a LOT of credibility.
to my ears.
if fucking 4chan managed to accurately deduce the location from JUST THIS MUCH, I continue to be amazed with anyone who thinks their picture or video can't possibly be tracked in ukraine:
Soviet Russia consolidated power in the late 1940s through the 1950s. All of the SRs had varying degrees of independence from the RSFSR afterwards. Some were just extensions of Russia, like Ukraine and Belarus. Others were a little more independent, like East Germany, Hungary, and Poland. Then there were the communist/socialist Soviet-aligned or leaning countries, like Yugoslavia and Romania. The more independent states would see their degree of freedom ebb and flow, There were events like Gomulka's thaw in Poland, the Hungarian Revolution, and the Prague Spring. The SR's degree of independence was correlated with how closely the language was to Russian.
There is still however a chasm larger than anything else seen in history. Hesychasm is still highly controversial within Catholicism(Though it could be argued that the Catholics accepted it in the union of Brest). There is also the issue of the 3 heretical councils known as Trent, Vatican I, Vatican II. All cannons of these council would need to be evaluated at a new giant ecumenical council and toss out the ones that are found unorthodox. And from a quick look at my copy of the Byzantine lists (Lists over Latin(Catholic) heresies, Danish edition 2014) there are still around 174 outstanding issues theologically and practically that hinders union.
The good news for Ukraine is that we're a month in and the only major city the Russians captured was Kherson which was near the beginning of the war, they will capture Mariupol but who knows when that will actually fall.It's difficult when Redditards and normies got such a head-start on the stupidity race. The Clapping Einsteins of Kyiyiyiyiv made them lose a LOT of credibility.
Like I said, I'm not rooting for Russia. It's just that any good news for Ukraine sounds unreasonably
Twitter needs to be banned in America because of shit like this
If I had to guess his reasoning might be that they already think of Belarus as a participant because not only are they allowing Russian military supplies go through Belarus, but let Russian troops invade Ukraine through Belarus.
