The Ruble is being reduced to rubbles before our eyes. Unbelievable!

[jonross]

So the lesson here is that we should never depend on foreign oil from a dictator?

[lewys]

Good, the ruble is adjusting to it's new worth 🔥

[treasuretrails]

Putin let his emotions get the better of him he didn't think this war through at all....

[Andrico]

Putin thought nato and America were weak. At least that’s what trump had him thinking. I guess they are more unified than ever.

[johnfarmer]

Block the ability for Russia to trade gold. Game Over

Mrs Clarissa is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy

[robhunt-watts]

Russia may have nuclear weapons, but like it's predecessor, the Soviet Union, it can never best the West in economics.

What's the difference between a dollar and a ruble?

- a dollar.

[carlosarias]

To illustrate how bad it is, I had 120k RUB and sold them at 79. If I waited and sold today I would have lost $600 like 38%. The good people of Russia are now stuck with a worthless currency... they are victims of their president's actions.

[whitesandandreef]

I'm surprised the KGB AGENT decided to ALLOW HIS PIGGY BANK Market to open🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[steveh]

So what's the latest news ?
The Russian Ruble is going to gain strength against the US dollar and the euro now that Russia is forced to only accept the ruble for its energy purchases from the European market.

[madpat]

Russian economy about to be sent back to the stone age lol

[scaredpaul]

Let them eat grass if they dont have bravery to stand up against their own dictator...

[reality]

Sup "experts' ? :D Seems Ruble will live a long long happy life)))

[ragingmonk]

I was born in 1970 so feel free to tell me when in history this type of failure has been seen on all fronts?
I watched the Berlin wall fall. All twelve former Soviet States go belly up. But not in two weeks!!!!

[deecee]

Keep squeezing them until they can't take anymore.

[NomadJoe]

“Miscalculated” is a word that I keep on hearing with regard to the Kremlin’s recent decisions. I smile every time I hear it. 🇷🇺 👎

[oliviamason]

I can unequivocally say that trading is one of the most profitable and lucrative business for every investors with the right expert

[ianmac]

It is such a shame for peace loving (mainly young) Russian citizens.
