Billions in Russian oil sale profits are stuck in Indian banks, marking a blow to President Vladimir Putin’s attempts to stop using the U.S. dollar for trade.
Commodities such as oil, gold and wheat are typically traded around the globe in U.S. dollars, the world’s reserve currency.
However Russia’s financial system was essentially isolated by Western sanctions imposed after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, making his country unable to make transactions in greenbacks, thus limiting trade.
Only if you live in a propaganda bubble.
I guess no ones plan is really working
Realistically who doesn’t? At least the western type tends to be correct
go on then show me the wins

If things were going to plan these videos wouldn’t exist, as Russia would have full control of Ukraine by day 3 in February 2022.
Lol, what? The mental gymnastics among ya’ll I swear are worthy of an olympic gold medal.
Not really sure what is confusing about what I said. Russia’s plan was to take Ukraine in 3 days. It’s now on, what - day 566? There’s no way they planned on it taking this long.

Actually you’re right - Putin expected it to take much longer… he expected it to take 10 days.
Ukraine war: Captured Russian documents reveal Moscow’s 10-day plan to take over the country and kill its leaders
Russian Invasion of Ukraine: How Putin lost in 10 days
Has Putin’s war failed and what does Russia want from Ukraine? * mentions “a matter of days” but doesn’t specify a number
Let’s be real here, nobody plans for an invasion to go as slowly has it has been. You’d capture an objective as soon as you can, with the element of surprise. It did actually look like it was going to happen in the first couple of days but the entire invasion stalled when they failed to capture the airport.
lmfao trash. two random combat videos.
Russia started this conflict, they are invading pos.
Now drones are bombing Russian soil, they are being pushed out of Ukraine. Conscripting criminals, trafficking Cubans and their best fighting force (Wagner) is in shambles.
Russia shit the bed, they are being dominated and two videos that are old showing some random fighting is nothing fuck out of here
Okay. Stay in your bubble and ignore any information that contradicts it.
That’s what makes you a rational person and certainly above propaganda.
i know this information you presented
changes nothing. go back to spreading disinformation idiot

Mhmm so how do you pass your own " I fell for the propaganda test", and would you adjust your thinking with new information?
You haven’t addressed any plain as day facts this far.
If you want everyone reading your posts to be fully convinced you’re hopelessly brainwashed then don’t address any specifics and just tell us to do our own research…

ok shill lol
🥱
when there’s no data to prove otherwise it’s usually because it does not exist.
You sound like the type to believe people are dying en masse because of covid vaccines.

In what world has Russia been successful at anything lately? A supposed world power can’t quickly over run Ukraine.
The poster you’re replying to is, uh … yeah.
Abuse, exploitation of the vulnerable and disinformation among its citizens. Actually, I would argue that the disinformation has been successful in Britain and the former colonies.
You think everything goes according to the plan on Russian side? This “special operation” is the largest clisterfuck imaginable for them.
You only think that getting your defensive line breached and continuing to lose ground 565 days into your 3 day offensive is bad if you’re in a propaganda bubble.
No no, it’s all part of Putin’s 4D-chess masterplan!
[Snorts copium]
No. But it seems ya’ll think nothing goes to plan on the Russian side. Which just isn’t true, unless you live in a propaganda bubble.
Lol.
Do you not know what the word ‘theme’ means? I think that’s the crux of this issue.
Lol, keep grasping at those straws.
That doesn’t even make sense in context. Is English your second language? I’m happy to change how I phrase things.
You’re desperate to move goalposts to fool yourself into thinking you’re right.
Theme? What? Lol. I never said ‘generally.’ I never referred to ‘trends.’ I was talking about specifics. Specifically, you incorrectly interpreted my comment as ‘everything goes according to russian’s plans.’ Which is asinine. I never insinuated that. Just like with your ‘theme’ argument, you’re making stuff up that’s easier to argue against because you don’t really have a point.
Look, I’m sorry you’ve fallen for the propaganda. I support Ukraine. I believe they are winning the war. However, that doesn’t mean Russians aren’t doing anything right, which is what everyone here seems to believe.
If you can’t conceive of how much content is being filtered and censored to garner as much support for the war as possible, I literally can’t help you. You need more life experience.
So you actually think there’s not a general theme of things going poorly for Russia?
There are drones bombing their capital and their currency dropped significantly. International companies are leaving. They’re spending LOADS of money and lives and not really getting very far.
What part of that sounds like it’s going not poorly, in a general sort of fashion?
I never mentioned what a general theme for russia would or would not be.
This is you making up an argument because you need something to argue against, and it can’t be what I’m actually saying.
Since you’re going to carry this on forever, you may have the last word.
Goodbye, and good luck. lol.
