If I can buy stuff with it, how is it meaningless?
You do realize that money works because the people who use it agree that it works? There is no other reason.
If I can exchange Euro for goods and services then it is real money.
What do you think that "real" money is?
It is an accounting exercise that lets Putin save face. EU pays exactly what they owe in EURO just what they would have done without Putin's silly demands.
Putin's bank then converts it into Rubels and sends it further to Russia so Putin can pretend he is getting paid in Rubels.
are you fucking retarded? if I give you give real money for a car and then you make up some exchange course for monopoly money and give it to yourself them how am I even affected by that? it is a meaningless action.
Big talk from the guy who decided to "kek" on the news about Russia only accepting rubles for gas payments.
yeah that is still hilarious. why do you think otherwise?
the sudden bounce back of the ruble
the fucking what? what are you smoking?
No. English, do you speak it?
