How Russia is surviving NATO-backed sanctions

[Tytanowy Janusz]

I accept that western sanctions have created pockets of holes in Russia economy, it also have made Russia explore alternatives. Now, they have broaden their trade relationships with China and India, two of the most populated countries. These sanctions have created stronger bond between BRICS counties with new members queuing to join the alliance. These sanctions would come and go, and the only country that got deceived was Ukraine.

If a grocery store starts selling rotten eggs and loses 80% of its customers, it's not like the remaining 20% ​​will buy 5x more. They will buy what they bought before, unless much lower prices are offered. But then the only thing they will do is buy in stock and then they will not return to the store for a long time. that's how i see your comment. It's not like russia will switch to china and india overnight. These are decades of building supply chains.
decades during which the standard of living of the average Russian will go back 50-100 years.

if it was so easy to sell 3x more to china and india ... why have these opportunities not been used before?

All in red are US allies. (368B out of 559B - 65%)

The US have being weaponizing the dollar for years, causing economies to collapse, and if not that Russia have a strong spine, it would found itself in a terrible state, maybe like Venezuela or Zimbabwe. But when and if BRICS finally come up with a rival  currency, the dollar will be devalued. Most African countries will definitely review their dollar trading policies in the coming months and years. Let's just pray for a peaceful world.

yes, for sure and the "State Sponsors of Terrorism" AKA Russia and its colleagues will definitely not weaponize its currency as soon as they have the opportunity, right? We can trust them, can't we?

The Russian federation is one of the influential country on the face of the planet aside from United States, so for anyone to feel like they will crack under sanction is really mistaken, their smart policy making have kept their economy strong even in the face of tough sanction, moreover sanction doesn't changes the mind of sanctioned regime, look at north korea, cuba, iran etc right now they are even getting worse instead of repenting, look at what is happening now, russia is uniting all the bad boys against the west, which is not a good thing, I just hope our leaders make some wise decision so we won't end up experiencing a nuclear war.

why did you think Nato dislike Russia? Russia self sufficient country, they are contented with all they have. they never invaded any smaller county to steal resources. Russia is the giant of Europe if you ask me. with all the sanctions rebel against Russia they still surviving without asking from aid from any one. i think they are prepared for anything.

because it is the only way the leaders of criminal regimes have when the rest of the world isolates itself from them. After all, they will not go out to the citizens and say that it is because of war crimes. Propaganda goes all the way over the years and people start to believe the lies at some point.

some sentences have a grain of truth, some are complete lies. It's hard to tell if it's sarcasm or ignorance.

Russia does not invade small countries to steal their resources?I don't know what why you say that as isn't Russia trying to get the industrial area of Donbass and some other parts which will make them export their grain in much bigger quantities as the zones they are trying to annex illegally will just give them that,coming much better in the Azov sea.Also in the places they want to annex there is a huge amount of Lithium,which we all know how important is that now for the electric cars which are heavily being spot in European markets.

How Russia is surviving NATO-backed sanctions


Business as usual, but with a few more business partners than before.

I've always thought that US sanctions were designed to weaken the US economy and destroy the dollar. That is the only way they can get out of their massive debt crisis.

There isn't any debt. The only debt that there is, is in the minds of those who believe there is a debt. The so-called debt is creations of new money. Google "Tom Schauf bank freedom."

The reason why world leaders - the REAL leaders - are collapsing the money system is, the people are finding out the truth about how fiat is creations of new money, and not debt. This knowledge will take control from these leaders, and bring freedom to the people. Can't have that. It's taken to long to get this far with enslaving the world.



EDIT: The REAL debt is what the banking system owes the people for making them repay their debts at least twice. The banks can never pay some of this debt back, because many people have died, having been foreclosed on for a debt that they didn't owe.

Again, as I have said in the past, the promissory note a borrower signs is a negotiable instrument. It's essentially money, like a check or money order. The borrower and the bank create new money together in the loan transaction. But the borrower is still consider to owe the money to the bank even though he has paid off his loan with the promissory note negotiable instrument.

It's all a trick to make the owners of the banks superrich beyond their wildest dreams.

As long as we have a fiat, cash system rather than a real value trading system, the banks will use this trick to rob us, legally.

Hmm, I guess this is the reason why the government allows tax-free for every loan acquired by billionaires and millionaires because it allows them to print more money. However, this is causing inflation and it only makes the rich richer while the poor are getting poorer.
Having said that, the US sanction does weaken the dollar although maybe planned by the Chinese and the Russian government which later woke up some countries from the middle east, Africa and Asia.

Everyone knows that Ukraine has ethnic Russians who have been suppressed over the years. The planned annexation of Donbas is not to steal their resources as US would do but to give the ethnic Russians a safe home. Of course, whosoever that owns the land owns the resources therein.

Russia is getting help, indirectly, from all over the place. Here is how Arizona is helping Russia. If Kari Lake had become the governor of Arizona, she probably wouldn't have had time to stand up against the US, Nato, and Ukraine like this.


JUST IN: MAGA STAR Kari Lake to Give KEYNOTE ADDRESS at CPAC Hungary in Budapest, Hungarian Media Loves Her! – Lake to Meet With Hungarian Prime Minister and Top Conservative Leaders in Europe

Kari Lake will give the keynote address at CPAC Hungary this Friday as she travels to Europe to meet with conservative foreign leaders and "discuss common-sense solutions and ideas that can put the People First," according to a statement.

CPAC Hungary will be held on April 4 and 5 in Budapest's Bálna (Whale) Conference Center.

Lake announced that she will meet with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who, unlike Joe Biden, puts his people first and isn't in bed with the Ukrainians. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to pound sand earlier this year as he visited the EU HQ in Brussels to beg for more money, arms and fighter jets. Orbán said that Hungary would not get involved in the Ukraine war "in the interest of the country and its people."

If Russia gets back into foreign currencies, that means that she is ready to start using currencies of the countries that are sanctioning her. How peculiar.


Russia to resume foreign exchange purchases to boost currency reserves


https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-05-05-russia-to-resume-foreign-exchange-purchases.html
Russia is expected to resume buying foreign currency for its reserves as early as this month or later this year. The country halted foreign exchange purchases in late January 2022 and further suspended the program following the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine.

According to Bloomberg Economics, the move aims to bolster Russia’s reserves as growing energy revenues “stabilize” public finances despite the West’s efforts to squeeze Kremlin’s income. The media outlet estimated initial volumes amounting to an equivalent of around $200 million in yuan per month.

The Chinese currency is the main asset Russia can still use to conduct transactions for its $154 billion wealth fund because of the sanctions that cut the country off from the world’s dollar-denominated financial system.

“It will be important for the market that the state is starting to accumulate reserves again instead of spending them,” the analyst at Freedom Holding Corp. Natalia Milchakova remarked. “This may even positively affect the ruble.”

Bloomberg‘s Russia economist, Alexander Isakov pointed out that the resumption of foreign exchange purchases may initially be small but will still be “highly symbolic.” This will show that Russia is building reserves rather than “eating through” them.

Russia sold from its wealth fund in 2023 to cover spending, and the shift from selling to buying would highlight “Russia’s ability to keep up the flow of petrodollars in the face of sanctions and the price cap” imposed by the Group of Seven (G7) industrialized nations and their partners in the European Union as well as their allies, the outlet said.

Moscow stopped the said purchases in late January 2022 and then suspended the program when the Russia-Ukraine war began. The Bank of Russia resumed operations with foreign currency at the beginning of 2023, amid soaring oil and gas revenues. The move was part of a revamped budgetary mechanism designed to shield the economy from the volatility of commodity markets, and transactions are now carried out in yuan.

However, in the past couple of months...

Zara reopens in Moscow


Other clothing stores should also soon begin operating under new names, including Dub (formerly Pull & Bear), Ecru (formerly Bershka) and Vilet (formerly Stradivarius).

Last March, Spanish clothing multinational Inditex sold its Russian assets to a freezone company in the United Arab Emirates. The stores are all returning to Russia under new names.

This is how you circumvent sanctions, businesses will find a way not to lose a profitable market!
