Russia has hundreds of trillions of dollars worth of proven oil and natural gas reserves. They also have one of the largest physical gold inventories in the world.
They are far from bankrupt - indeed, they are probably the most financially stable country on the planet. Russia has a surplus economy every year, and does not use deficit financing, unlike almost every other country.
A half trillion in frozen foreign exchange accounts means the Russians will now settle their accounts with fiat rubles instead of valuable dollars. They may also move to demand physical gold delivery instead of banking fiat in payment for future energy shipments. Since the West's banking system has now proven untrustworthy, which the entire world has just seen, other methods of payment will be established, completely outside of the West's control.
Russia is probably having trouble counting all of the extra money they are now making. Furthermore, the Jews have just been cut out of it entirely. Russia has excellent relations with both China and India, the two largest developing economies in this century. Frankly, Russia no longer even needs the West, and they know it. Just China and India alone have almost 3 billion consumers.
The most important point of all, the Russians are capitalists now. Their real standard of living has gone up tenfold in the last twenty years, while our own has declined by at least 50% over the last 40 years. We are in debt up to our eyeballs, and they are practically debt free.
It is we who are screwed bigtime. We who are hamstrung by communists. Our cities on fire. Our families destroyed. Our governments corrupted beyond repair. Our children are stoned out of their minds. Our people poisoned with death shots. Our food, water, and air is toxic as fuck. Ours has become a bio chemical wasteland. Our civilization is dying before our eyes.
We could use a Vlad Putin of our own about now.
