Stop worrying about Rubles. The exchange rate does not matter. The black gold trumps everything.
Start worrying about yourself - your future. Your governments will soon abandon you when money starts drying.

But I'm not going to bother actually... but in short, BRICS control a rapidly shrinking 11% of GDP and are dependant on western investments and consumer demand
And guess what?
ITS BEEN CUT

Why? Ukraine is a sovereign nation and should be allowed to do ally itself who whomsoever it choses. Putin and Russia need to wake up and realise the world is not as simple as the old Soviet times.
Europe has economic depth. Sanctions are hurting Russia more than they will hurt the EU.

You are worried about Roseneft which is OWNED by Russia as in government, you are worried about their investments of 42 billion dollars ??
Did you miss the fact they made a 400 billion dollar deal with China.
Worry more about your own purse, than Russian budget.

How did I know you would bring up the "Nazi" crap. It seems like that must be a major talking point in Russia. You guys know the war ended some time ago and Hitler is dead.
Really why is the Nazi thing being pushed as propaganda?

Pretty obvious that must be the talking points the "boss" is telling you to push today. Maybe you did not understand what I was trying to get across.
It seems scripted to say the least.

Got to love the irony.
Ukraine was known as “Kievan Rus” (from which Russia is a derivative) up until the 16th century. In the 9th century, Kiev was the major political and cultural center in eastern Europe. Kievan Rus reached the height of its power in the 10th century and adopted Byzantine Christianity. The Mongol conquest in 1240 ended Kievan power. From the 13th to the 16th century, Kiev was under the influence of Poland and western Europe. The negotiation of the Union of Brest-Litovsk in 1596 divided the Ukrainians into Orthodox and Ukrainian Catholic faithful. In 1654, Ukraine asked the czar of Moscovy for protection against Poland, and the Treaty of Pereyasav signed that year recognized the suzerainty of Moscow. The agreement was interpreted by Moscow as an invitation to take over Kiev, and the Ukrainian state was eventually absorbed into the Russian Empire.
After the Russian Revolution, Ukraine declared its independence from Russia on Jan. 28, 1918, and several years of warfare ensued with several groups. The Red Army finally was victorious over Kiev, and in 1920 Ukraine became a Soviet republic. In 1922, Ukraine became one of the founders of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
Are members new and old not allowed to discuss possible shenanigans from the side of the West/EU/Ukraine in these types of situations anymore without being labelled "Pro Russian" or in the pocket of the Kremlins propaganda department?
This was reported yesterday and as yet there is no pictorial evidnce showing any kind of proof of this incident whatsoever. Not even highly questionable proof posted on YouTube or Twitter that seems to be taken for hard evidence these days.
I'm at a loss at what's going on with ATS these days. I really am. Especially when it comes to this situation. It's like the lot of you have lost your heads and have lost the ability to think objectively.
Hopefully Russia will stop NATO expansion and Slavery to Private Central Bankers soon.
NATO-Russian relations are relations between the NATO military alliance and Russia. Cooperation between Russia and NATO started in 1991. In 1994 Russia joined the Partnership for Peace programme.[1] During the 1990s, the two sides signed several important agreements on cooperation.[2]
The Russia–NATO council was created in 2002, for handling security issues and joint projects. Cooperation between Russia and NATO now develops in several main sectors: fighting terrorism, military cooperation, cooperation on Afghanistan (including transportation by Russia of non-military ISAF freight, and fighting the local drug production), industrial cooperation, non-proliferation, and others.
Dmitry Rogozin holds the office of the Russian envoy to NATO.
