PRISS said that the Ruble is the strongest currency in the world. It isn't. It extremely isn't. It is improved from a weak position, AND artificially propped up by the Russian government using various fiscal hocus pocus.
It's not the strongest currency in the world. It's not even a strong currency at all really. It's increased in strength. That's the only thing worth saying. And even then, off the back of artificial manipulation.
PRISS tried to use the strength of the ruble to strengthen his argument. Sadly it's not a particularly strong currency and it's not a particularly strong argument
You are arguing long term currency values in a conversation about the strength of the Ruble since the West's failed attempts to destabilise the Russian currency. In the very obvious context of this debate, as the NYT's rightly says, the Ruble has been the strongest currency in the world in 2022.
If you thought this discussion had anything to do with long term values of the Kuwati Dinar versus the Ruble then you were sadly mistaken.
Frankly you're once again seem out of your depth. The Ruble has performed as the strongest currency in the world in 2022, the US/EU sanctions have had the opposite impact to that expected, that is the point of the debate, something that you seem to completely fail to grasp.
It's a waste of time trying to educate you, on any subject, you are so bias or have such an untenable position, you simply don't listen -
artificially propped up by the Russian government using various fiscal hocus pocus - did you just read that on a cracker? No government can compete with the currency market, remember when the UK tried? the ONLY serious reason the Ruble is strong is the price of oil, everything else is window dressing.
Nobody apart from you has ever said that the Ruble pre 2022 was weak, moderate, or strong, that is not the debate for anyone but you. We are talking about European Politics and their failed attempt at destabilising the Russian currency, nobody knows what the hell you're discussing I suspect not even you.
