Russia\u2019s Ruble Rebound Raises Questions of Sanctions\u2019 Impact<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

The ruble is no longer rubble. \u2026<\/p>\n

President Joe Biden promoted the success of the sanctions \u2014 some of the toughest ever imposed on a nation \u2014 while he was in Poland last week. \u201cThe ruble almost is immediately reduced to rubble,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n

Dollar on track for steepest annual drop for almost a decade<\/span><\/h2>\n

30 December 2025<\/p>\n

The US dollar is heading for its steepest annual drop since 2017, with Wall Street banks predicting further weakness next year as the Federal Reserve presses ahead with interest rate cuts. The greenback has slumped 9.5 per cent against a basket of major currencies this year, after US President Donald Trump\u2019s trade war sparked fears for the world\u2019s biggest economy and cast doubt over the dollar\u2019s traditional status as a haven for investors. The euro has had the biggest gain of the major currencies against the faltering dollar, surging nearly 14 per cent to above $1.17, a level last reached in 2021.<\/p>\n

While the dollar\u2019s initial weakness was triggered by Trump\u2019s launch of aggressive tariffs against the US\u2019s trading partners in April \u2014 it was at one point down 15 per cent against major currencies before regaining some ground \u2014 the Fed\u2019s resumption of rate cuts in September has kept it under pressure. https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/1712a946-5861-444e-9740-d488c865c5cf<\/a><\/p>\n

The dollar has been the weakest major currency in 2025. …<\/h2>\n

The US dollar<\/a> has declined against all of its main global peers in 2025, and the Dollar Index \u2014 which measures the greenback against a basket of foreign currencies \u2014 is down 10% this year. 12\/29\/25 https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/weak-us-dollar-usd-decline-impact-on-americans-inflation-2025-12<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Currency Regime Change: Is Dollar Dominance Dead?<\/h2>\n

November 29, 2025<\/p>\n

The sages who studied the rise and fall of kingdoms would chuckle today, for the lesson is ancient:\u00a0money is the hard-earned fruit of labor<\/strong>, while\u00a0currency is merely the paper promise<\/strong>\u00a0that it still tastes good.\u00a0Money<\/strong>\u2014like\u00a0gold and silver<\/strong>\u2014is the crystallized effort of real work and real scarcity.\u00a0Currency<\/strong>, however, is its excitable younger cousin:\u00a0useful for trade, but spoiled the moment rulers discover the printing press<\/strong>.\u00a0Money is the idea; currency is the performance.<\/strong> One endures through dynasties, the other ages like milk whenever governments \u201cmanage\u201d it too enthusiastically. As Master Kong might say: \u201cHe who thinks he is saving money, but saves only currency, will one day learn the difference the hard way.\u201d In short, money keeps its virtue; currency keeps asking us to believe it still has some. \u2026<\/p>\n

The United States holds only\u00a05% of the world\u2019s people<\/strong>, yet somehow manages to\u00a0inhale 25% of the world\u2019s consumption<\/strong>. As the Master might say, \u201cWhen one household eats like five, the neighbors will surely notice.\u201d\u00a0Americans burn through a quarter of global oil<\/strong>, nearly a third of the world\u2019s aluminum, almost a quarter of all coal, and a healthy share of copper. No wonder\u00a0nations line up at America\u2019s gate<\/strong>, eager to trade\u2014who wouldn\u2019t serve a customer with such an appetite? Europe, though\u00a0more populous, spends with the restraint<\/strong> of a scholar-official counting his brushstrokes. The EU\u2019s collective consumer spending reached $9.6 trillion in 2023, which works out to about $21,300 per person\u2014falling further in 2024. Meanwhile, the average American spends roughly $51,500, proving that while Europeans may savor life, Americans certainly buy it. \u2026<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s lingering fear of inflation keeps taxes high and spending cautious, a habit born from World War I scars. https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2025-11-29\/currency-regime-change-dollar-dominance-dead<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The dollar\u2019s dominance is being challenged more and more<\/h2>\n

12 November 2025<\/p>\n

For developing <\/small>countries, a weaker greenback is usually good news. Poor-country governments borrow more in dollars than rich ones, so their debt bills get slashed. In the first six months of 2025, the dollar\u2019s value fell by about 10% against other rich-world currencies. But this time things were different. Most politicians in poor countries were aghast. https:\/\/www.economist.com\/the-world-ahead\/2025\/11\/12\/the-dollars-dominance-is-being-challenged-more-and-more<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, the USA dollar is being more and more bypassed (e.g. see India and European Union linking up to bypass US dollar and SWIFT<\/a>) and more are looking at another currency, like the Euro, as the USA dollar\u2019s replacement<\/p>\n

Consider the following:<\/p>\n
