The question I have is any of this real? Like anyone who thinks the Russian currency is really worth that, sans central bank chicanery and other govt intervention, is delusional. At the same time you could say the same thing about the dollar and DEFINITELY the euro. So what the fuck does any of this mean. I am genuinely surprised we aren't seeing more headway being made by the Renminbi.

Well color me purple and slap me.
If Europe has to buy rubles to get affordable natural gas then it probably is actually worth that.
I thought Russia backed off of that one? Though to be fair I have been trying to not keep myself focused completely on the thing.

Their only mistake is to trust EU way too much, should pull off all reserve whether it's dollar or Euro
The gas for rubles scheme is a really neat piece of diplomacy. Russia achieves all of their objectives by giving their opponent a face-saving way of giving in to pressure.

Ah ok!
they coupled the currency on Gold .. and to get Russian Commodities you need Rubles now so everybody is buying Rubles .. i think its very much real ..
Meanwhile there are measures like 17% interest rate in place to prop it up, that can’t go on forever.
