In December 2023 the USA clamped down on Chinese and Indian financial institutions making and receiving payment to and from Russia. The risk of Secondary Sanctions has reduced the amount of payments being processed and this has now been made worse by the clampdown on smaller institutions announced in June 2023. This has resulted in Russia struggling to receive and make payments and this is now damaging the Russian Economy. In addition countries are refusing to deal in Rubles meaning that it is now DEAD as a Global Currency. In this video I provide more details and discuss the problems that Russia is now facing.
No need for CHAPTERS as this is a short beach based video!

Try this.
You want to buy goods from me. Goods that you neither have nor produce.
I say your money's no good. It's worthless to me. Unless you've got gold, go away. I'm not going to sell you anything.
China isn't much help either. You need more things from China then China needs from you. That leads to a big trade deficit in China's favor.
You're slowly going broke.
Joe, there was a BBC news article yesterday "Malaysia tracks down missing oil tanker which fled after collision" where they suggest the tanker is 'part of a so-called 'dark fleet', carrying oil from countries under sanctions.'
It was Chinese owned, and had previously been involved in subverting sanctions on Iran
Russian oil flowing all over the world , no sanctions whatsoever

Joe, love your work. Yes, being outside is good. Wearing shades is fine. Delighted to hear that Putin faces financial challenges. His war against Ukraine is unforgivable. Keep up the wonderful work. Rob in Tennessee, USA.
@robnelsonbayvillage I agree. We tune in for the content, not the views, but it is nice to see different backdrops (real backdrops, not those green screen things.)
Putin tried to work with the west for decades but the west continues to corner Russia post cold war. The US needed a reason to keep the "threat of war" continues so that the CIA, defence companies & the US army continues to be relevant & huge. Yes, Putin shouldn't have invaded Ukraine but at the same time, the West left him no choice but to act aggressively.
@@secrets.295 Stop lying
@@secrets.295that is total nonsense. Russia had a choice, they chose poorly and now they face possible total collapse. Just like the Soviets.

Ukrainians have big balls and have embarrassed Put in (from his accomplishment in 2016) Now, who said that names do not have hidden agendas?
The Ruble USED to have value - during the toilet paper shortage during the bug pandemic - but no longer.
I wouldn't even wipe my arse with a russian ruble.
@donaldcarey114 If the Ruble cannot be used for toilet paper any longer, then tell me what can it be used for???
to late russia already banned ruble toilet paper a few days ago
@tonynewman3631 only use for anything with Putins signature on it
i would love to know its real value now
How to destroy your economy… 1) Create a phantom enemy to consolidate your power and divert the population from domestic issues 2) Attack your neighbour to try and galvanise support. 3) Try and blackmail your best and most reliable customers into submission to you demands 4) Gross miscalculation of outcome and become completely isolated and have all your foreign held assets frozen…..Pure genius 😂😂😂😂👍🇬🇧
How to destroy your society:
1) remove all critical voices,
2) make sure there will be nobody to keep you informed
3) make up your own fantasy world
4) cause maximum confusion in the society so no one really knows anything
It's the Russian way.....🪆
I’m afraid that many Kremlin style folks might be too comfortable with the environment they see when visiting North Korea. A isolated pariah tyranny, where most people are impoverished & oppressed, but where the elites are still enjoying luxuries & a top down cultish atmosphere… nuclear weapons bluster with some sales of resources to sleazy countries…

I have a modest suggestion: I read Hungary under Victor Orban is also having inflation problems. Is that true? Perhaps an episode on Hungary may be enlightening for some here in the United States who thinks a strongman government is good for the economy.
Good idea!
20% inflation, another communist failure of epic proportion
indeed, most of Europe has a high disregard for that mentioned individual

@@kimberlysheridan5530 every strongman loved by demented trump….has ruined their economy. Stolen it all for themselves like the greedy psychos they are
I think you nailed it! The recirculation of the same Rubles to purchase war related goods and services in absolutely crazy. It's like a bankrupt casino recycling the same old poker chips without the option of cashing out. Secondly, with the production shift to war goods, what products does Russia expect to sell to the world if and when the war ends? If the military is trying to buy back arms previously sold to third world nations, who will need or want to repurchase poor quality Russian arms in the future? Russia is now become the 'Banana Republic' of fossil products and nothing more.
It always was but they managed to hide it until the war.
The biggest advantage Russia has is its natural resources. Converting arms manufacturing into consumer products has been done before by the US in both world wars. They have made an economist their minister of defense, obviously foreshadowing the post war economy. It’s actually the side that is winning that’s able to convert battlefield success into arms sales, especially winning against a NATO armed enemy. And post war the world still will run on fossil fuels, so exactly what has Joe nailed
It also does not help that china may destabilize somewhat if Xi's heath is actually failing in addition to their current economic collapse. Russia is reliant on china for technology purchases and they are having to barter goods instead of using money for trade with china since the yuan isn't good either. If the CCP gets chaotic, that could cause disruption of what russia needs from china to keep going. It would help force russia to give up.
We should be careful about being too dismissive, Russian society is much more mobilized, as costly as this may be the military industrial capability is being expanded while “western” society is still neck deep in obesity, greed, failures of foundational cohesion, spoiled mentally neurotic snowflakes who were raised on anti-western propaganda, corporations that are obsessed with short- term profits instead of national/civilizational loyalty… and we continue to reward/coddle nefarious parasitic adversarial countries that enable continued Kremlin villainy, as customers and as providers of military/comfort oriented products/services, and peddling in gross propaganda.
@@_PatrickO What economic collapse? The Chinese are moving towards more advanced technology that’s why the US created the chip bill, and increased tariffs for EVS. The CCP as well as the Kremlin are moving away from the western financial system period. What’s happening now are just pleasantries. They are creating a whole new gold backed digital currency. It’s obvious that the sanctions had no effect on the Russian war machine as the Russian economy is expected to grow by over 3% according to the IMF. The Chinese economy has been growing at an average of 9% per year for over 30 years. So that clearly means it’s not dependent on 1 man
Joe, I'm glad you're enjoying success. The Ruble is now rubble. Russia has become an orphan/has been in the western community.
"The Ruble is now rubble." I saw what you did there...I'm going to borrow it. Maybe make a meme.
Sorry, but if Trump is elected again, all these sanctions stop. Putin just needs to hold out until November.
How DOES THAT MAATER?As to what this TINY INSIGNIFICANT LITTLE GROUP,SLAVES TO THE US,EVEN THINK.
So how does Putin respond?
Cornered, desparate.
Up the ante is what despots do.
He needs a way out and save face.
And don’t expect the people to do it. They are not a democracy.
Yes he is enjoying success because idiots are listening him and he is getting paid for that.😂
It's true because someone was selling ruble toilet paper and pootie caught wind of it and banned it outright.
Wallpaper maybe?
The rubbish ruble has NEVER been considered an international currency.
Was by putin,
the plan was to be a competitor to the us dollar by supporting the ruble with gold
it hurts their feelings so much they are willing to go full fascist ...
💯💯💯
Yep. And where’d all the “BRICS currency” posts go :P
@@rcchin7897BRIC short of a load.
I really don't understand why there isn't widespread panic in Russia. It seems almost comical that a country could damage itself so badly in every way possible, and the bloke in charge is still there.
Powerful propaganda for and control of the population. People quietly despair and still think they can fix their problems by appealing to the czar.
coz in real life their economy somehow grew faster than western economies
@@adiosa1388 Only in terms of military production. Inflation is high.
a combination of cencorship, no freedom of speech and habitual submissiveness over the course of generations. Thats how you avoid (outspoken) panic when ruining your country.
Russians have a saying: "It can always get worse!"
Do NOT squint in the bright light. Protect your retinas as mush as possible. You are doing a wonderful job, nobody else has explained the economics of the Ukraine invasion better than you do. Thank you once more
One of the things that makes you great is the constant presence of measurable facts that you show in your videos. I hope that will come back after your vacation!
I can still remember the reports from Russia saying that the dollar was dying and that the BRICS states were launching a currency that would then take the place of the dollar as the world currency. When will this finally happen, on the first of April?
That's the problem with allowing a small kgb bureaucrat to become dictator. He can't tell propaganda apart from reality and as his control expands since he's afraid of being dumped the way he has people dumped he surrounds himself with people who tell him what he wants to hear. Which is kremlin propaganda. This is why the chapters of Muscovy empire keep ending in failure and collapse. Same failure over and over.
How about never?
Halloween!!
Probably February 30 or 31
😂😂 They should check the power of the rubble and let it to be free changed against Dollars.
The ruble is now not even rubble.
Nice bar, Joe! Nice beach, too. Glad you're getting in a well-deserved vacation!
Joe, thanks for the update. I like your outdoor format for a change. The shorter, less indepth videos are fine too, as long as you also return to the studio to deep-dive into the details. We don't begrudge you your well-deserved vacation, and we like to see the view. Oh, and I'm still overjoyed that you got back control of your channel last spring. The RU rubble... It seems that the rubble is going the same way as used toilet paper. Hopefully that'll hurt on KaPutin's warmachine. 😊 Enjoy the holiday.
Thank you Joe
Love your show Joe. Keep it up, in your studio, on the beach, wherever you are.
Hi, welcome back to Joe "I go to the bar before you even wake up" Blogs...
Imagine a sovereign currency worth less than it costs to print ( 5 ruble note)
Hi Joe, enjoy your holidays!😊Greetings from Munich Germany.
What this all means is that the sanctions are finally starting to do the damage we have been waiting for... Good to hear.
Sanctions, like so many things in economics, work like a tanker ship... slow to turn, slow to move, but exert tremendous force once they're going.
The media outlets that implied that the sanctions were going to cripple russia overnight were irresponsible. This is when you should expect them to start biting.
When will we see the difference because nobody is seeing the difference, we just hear Joe talking about for 2 years now
@@glintongordon6811 If you don't see the difference its because you're not looking. Auto loans from russia's largest bank are now running 22% for good credit and as much as 35% for regular people. Car prices are through the roof... cheap chinese cars now cost 47 times the monthly salary in russia... that means an average worker in russia would spend EVERY PENNEY HE EARNS FOR FOUR ENTIRE YEARS to buy a cheap chinese econo-box.
Food shortages, 20% inflation, emptying store shelves as the economy turns to full wartime production... this is what the beginning of economic collapse looks like.
but you have to be looking.
@@edwardgiovannelli5191 show me a single link to any of these things... Absolutely no store is empty in Russia and the car prices you are comparing are with minimum wage has always been like that in Russia nothing has changed.
@@glintongordon6811 cope harder Ivan

Thank you for the input Joe. Take a nice local beer on our behalf 😎
Joe's face is gradually becoming redder and redder. It's really funny as a spanish to see tourists always get sunburnt lol

there are still people in America doubling down on trump even after his first administration and all the cognitive decline since then.
Folks just don't care about the bigger picture.
Everything IS great in Russian economics. IF you are Ukrainian.
This opinion is only dispensed by A.I. bots and trolls reading from a list of talking points.

Great video, Joe. Keep making videos on the road. You look really relaxed. Which makes me feel relaxed.

2 Global Currencies:
USD 60%
Euro 20%
Even the Yuan is barely used (2-3%).
This format is waaaay better than the exhaustive chart explanations - especially when you can read the chart the old format is too slowly paced.
Charts are goods ..
I think this format is cool , but it is perfectly completed by time to time exhaustive explanations. Just my tastes
The Ruble never was a global currency. The reserve currencies are the USD, Euro, Yen, GBP, AUD, CND and CHF (Swiss Franc).
Over the last 3 years I have learned so much. I appreciate your presentations and your sunburn :) LOL!
Enjoy the beach!
What did you learn, from Joe??? That Russia is collapsing again and again, every 2-3 months :)
Ruble now equals RUBBLE!!!
This is what being a PARIAH nation is all about.
Joe, the outside reporting is great. Keep it up 🙂, please.
Putler finds out that hardball means more
than thumb screws and a garrot…
But we can do that, too. How about a nice plate of polonium brownies, Mr. P?
The financial crisis is primarily the fault of the Federal Reserve, which gains indirectly from bank failures, bank-owned real estate, and even more affordable cars. Production cannot be printed, but printing credit is acceptable as long as it is printed. Is that right or wrong?
Although reducing the rate from 7% to 6% won't benefit anyone, they are free to do so now that it's too late. And consider any recession-fed cuts followed shortly after a market meltdown. If they are pricing in a September rate reduction, a crash by January is likely.
Completely concur. The Fed's strategies backfired miserably. The usage of an endless paper printer by the government has harmed the lives of millions of people. At times like this, advisors ideally help you learn how to grow your money.
I firmly believe that learning from a seasoned legal counsel is invaluable. My portfolio was swinging like a seesaw before I sought guidance from a certified expert in the midst of the rona outbreak in early 2023. Even with inflation, I've been able to raise my assets to almost 200,000 dolls as of right now with more investments.
Best wishes! I have a demanding job and don't have time for investment analysis. I'm worried that my five-figure retirement savings may depreciate; would you think about implementing a similar strategy?
You'll be safe if you invest on food and utilities, bro.

Due to a shortage of wholesale lots, gasoline prices are rapidly rising.

Hi Joe, you are doing a fantastic job and you post very relevant content which only a few other focus on. I really appreciate your input. Outside shooting is good but I think what I really appreciate is that your videos tend to be more straight to the point now. I always thought your episodes could be 10-15 minutes shorter and still keep the points/message 100% clear. Just an observation 😊
The ruble was never ever going to be a reserve currency…neither will the Yuan
Great concept Joe.

Russia recently had to ban toilet paper printed to mimic the ruble. This isn’t satire.

Talking to Russians who still have money and assets in Russia, life inside of Russia is more expensive, but still doable. For those living outside of Russia and relying on their Russian assets, daily life is a struggle. Hardly no one, except black market exchanges, will accept their cards or Rubles (which are nearly valueless.) Russian expats who have the good fortune to find work, live solely on that income. Tough times!
"Talking to Russians who still have money and assets in Russia, life inside of Russia is more expensive, but still doable." Are they living in Moscow or Saint Petersburg? Remember that those cities are somewhat protected against the ailments of the Russian economy as this is Putin's power base. They get whatever imports are available and so on.
great content Joe, and no matter where you vlog from I'll be tuning in.
YAAAAAAYYYYYY SANCTIONS !!!!!
I expect the Rubble to began it's collapse from consolidating around 90 to the USD that I correctly forecasted -- My Rubble short I made 15 months ago, after a remarkable short I made over a year ago that NOBODY saw coming -- I forecasted 120 to 130 Rubble to USD (I shorted in Yuan for liquidity) by June to August after Russia instituted Capital Controls 9 months ago.
You really like to rub in the fact that you're on a wonderful vacation... :)
I'm saying this because I'm just a tiny bit jealous.... Haha.
Good job pointing out how rubles are a sham currency because nobody is actually using them. That is rarely covered. Nice one Joe.
