      They still trade with a lot of countries outside of the west. China and India alone might be enough to explain it.

      Turns out “the international community” isn’t just western europe, north america and australia/japan/south korea

        The west is still buying Russian stuff via proxy. It only makes it more expensive.

        Well, yeah. I was also wondering why the sudden increase though, but I haven’t seen a chart, or anything.

        Also, the Saudis have reduced production, which keeps the oil prices up

      if OP had posted a link instead of a screen shot, we could have just clicked it to find out. i don’t understand why posters go to the trouble to frustrate their readers this way.

        the numbers talked about are Wild:

        But the US lost more wealth than any other country last year, shedding $5.9 trillion, while North America and Europe combined got $10.9 trillion poorer, UBS reported.

        money is fake as fuck

          But what’s the reason for posting a screenshot instead of a link? Lots of people are doing it. It must be more effort for you than posting a link.

      That and recovering Russian assets on the cheap while western firms were bailing out I’d wager.
