Breaking Panic in Russia

I too have an uncle in Moscow......

No....

No I don't........

Putin's chess game seems to be heading for check mate. How do all the Putin shills feel now?

WHAT panic?

Oh like black fucking Friday in Merika, that kind of panic, yes

but poor Merikans don't buy Mercedes or Lexus for CASH

Car dealers are speaking of a “boom” since November - high end brands are being bought off the lot, for cash. Mercedes-Benz and Lexus being the most widely reported purcahses.

“As soon as euro started rising, we sold all cars, even the most expensive,” says a BMW sales rep in Barnaul, southern Russia. AltaiEuroMotors, official Volkswagen dealer in Barnaul, reported Tuesday “only several cars” were left in the shop.

there is no panic in Russia.....if you get paid in rouble's and buy in rouble's what fooken difference does it make to 99% of the population for everyday life?

nothing.....

they have enough resources to build a wall around their coninent sized country and not talk to any outsiders for 500 years ffs....

Always been mine but divorce has meant a start again, but the number 1 priority is pay this down ASAP... at these rates a lot of people are going to lose their homes and be angry.. how that anger is managed/directed is going to be telling..

Wow!!!!!

Panic at Apple

Conusmers scooped up iPhones and iPads at prices over $100 lower than in the US . Apple's Russian website stopped online sales “due to extreme fluctuations in the value of the ruble…”.

Hmmm... sounds like a tennis match. Or a game of chess. Seems they always waiting on each other to make the next move...

White House braces for Putin's next move

(snip)

Russia's collapsing economy and currency make Vladimir Putin even more dangerous and unpredictable, Obama administration officials believe.

Putin, the Russian president, "has been playing by his own set of rules so far,” said one senior administration official. “It’s up to him to listen to reason, as it has been for months now.”

Safe to say that WWIII has started?

Really? they export raw materials to the EU and import the finished goods in return...

Why on earth do you think Putin was so p*ssed off with the Russia oil companies, rather than build Russian refineries they brought ones in the EU instead...

FFS that was one stupid move..

If you think the Russian should wall themselves in, then I for one would feel sorry for those trapped on the other side in Russia.

i have a Uncle in Puerto Rico, and he says midgets are all over the place!

Putin could stabilize all this by getting with Europe and ending this Ukraine "civil" war. Russia only has to denounce the rebellion and stop arming them. Then the West can crush the rebels by supplying and arming Ukraine. Russia gets the sanctions removed.

It's even possible that Putin can make some back room deal that includes a little something extra for Russia. Of course Putin will lose a lot of face and nobody will take Russia seriously for a decade.

No offense, but you have no idea of what Russia is really like from the inside. Others of us do.

Think before you post...

Nope, the US and Euro banking system just creates it's own problems. The nations that win (survive) will lose the least since everyone is going to lose.

Just a matter of how much.

They don’t have to surrender to anyone.

All they have to do is just STOP!
Stop the land grabs.
Stop threatening to nuke everyone.
Stop shooting down planes.
Stop threatening to go ballistic if your country doesn’t get it’s way.

Goodness knows the US hasn’t got it’s way in countless situations. When Russia parked it’s warships in Cuba, did we put nukes on the tip of Florida and threaten to wipe Cuba off the map if Russia sent another ship there?

Have we stated we were going to nuke Venezuela for them working with Russia and china?

All we ask is just stop the bull $hit.
That is all we ask.

Yet that is all it appears Russia and it’s supporters knows how to do is threaten to take everyone to WW3 if they don’t get their way.
Russia, Just STFU already.

Why does Putin appear powerless and helpless these one or two days ?

Why are the other BRICS countries silent, why dont they publicly express solidarity with Putin and the Russian people in their heroic struggle against the jewish banksters and anglo-american imperialists ?
This is a struggle the Russian and BRICS side must win.

Here is a snip from the OP's link that really makes it easy to understand what is happening to the average person in Russia right now.

"Young urban professionals in Moscow earn roughly 80,000 rubles a month on average. Before the crisis, that was worth $2,500, plenty of money for them to meet basic living expenses and enough to still spend free time in Europe. As of Tuesday, those salaries had dwindled to around $1,000."

Imagine having your income slashed by more than half. I feel bad for the Russian citizens. It is governments and banks that do this to people.

Fixed for you

He did not take Crimea. Crimea joined Russia, the people of Crimea spoke. Now the rest of the world needs to accept it. CRIMEA DOES NOT WANT TO BE PART OF UKRAINE. ACCEPT IT AND MOVE ON.

Which is basically the case for every country.

The people of all nations just want to live and support their families. All the extra curricular crap comes from the governments and banks

lol

Yea...I'm sure putin had no hand in that at all.

Raw like finished rocket engines to the US perhaps

Antares rocket will get new Russian RD-181 engines in $1bn deal

Russia’s Energomash has reportedly signed a contract with Orbital Sciences Corp. to supply 60 new built RD-181 engines for the Antares rocket instead of the modified Soviet units the company used until an ISS-bound rocket exploded on takeoff in October.

Orbital Sciences had no other choice but use Russian designed RD-181 engines

They tried that after WWII. They didn't make it past 50 some odd years...

do they teach math in the UK?

That's right WOW

Well sure. As a country(Russia) why wouldn't they want to increase their resources. Any country would do that. Hell, if Mexico wanted to be part of the US, we would allow it in a heartbeat.

Russia doesn’t grow enough food to even feed themselves. If they walled themselves off, then a good portion of the Russian population would starve to death.

What about China I thought they got Russia's back
