Russian Payment Collapse - Joe Blogs
In this video I discuss the recent announcement that Russia has struck a trade deal with Pakistan under which it will be paid in POTATOES, ORANGES & RICE. This deal has been agreed due to the ongoing payment problems that Russia is experiencing as a result of the Financial Sanctions. The payment problems are now causing major problems for Russia and are having a huge impact on the Russian Economy.

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
