I'm simply pointing out the idiocy here https://lemmy.ml/post/23076839

The reality is that Russians are not actually affected by this because pretty much nobody in Russia holds western currencies, and the domestic economy is largely self sufficient. The only context this matters in is trade, and Russia is a major exporter, which means that domestic revenue for the government goes up when rouble is weak. Hence why rouble gets intentionally depressed pretty much every years, and people always get really excited about it.
