No I asked a metric or something substancial to back up this claim, here is another one since I can smell British humour here : https://duckduckgo.com/?q=is+the+earth+flat

I just gave you a full internet worth of sources that says the Russian economy is in the dumps. Find me one that says everything is A-OK. Preferably not from Kremlin News Bureau.

You gave me a duckduckgo link, thinking I was your Old Uncle. Thanks Bob, I know how to search the web. That's problematic for you because there is still no metric you can provide to back up your claim, I don't know it should be trivial to find one no ?

The burden of the proof is on yours, I've never ever stated the Russian economy was "A-OK". I'm equally surprised by your first comment, and the fact you pull this out of nowhere with that much of a confidence.

It's actually okay. The sanctions are a joke overhyped by Joe Biden. USD to RUB exchange value is around 81 which is almost pre-war levels. Most banks still use SWIFT just fine. Russians sign up for Visa and MasterCard in Kazakhstan via remote interviews. Kazakhstan also provided backdoor for lots of imports. Retail prices are just a bit higher than before. Restaurants are fully booked in Moscow.

How do you explain the Ruble rebounding to pre-war levels?

Edit: Can’t reply, but every country takes steps to manage its currency’s value. That’s the status quo.
