Hidden Truths
Joshua Barone gives his point of view on what is happening with Russia, the world economy and more.
Welcome to Hidden Truths! Let's talk about Russia and all the propaganda that is going around.
"I find it interesting and it's one of the things I mentioned before. It's disinformation. There's lots of propaganda going around, especially towards Russia. Think about it. You go to the gas station and, the president says, hey, we have to accept higher gas prices because we need to support the Ukrainian people.
But in, in reality, that's not, what's really going on. It's a lot of a false narrative.
On top of that, if you look at a chart of the Russian Ruble, it's the best performing currency against the us dollar. Now I can argue points against that for instance, that there's some manipulation in the currency by the Russian government to prop it up.
They essentially are hitting the U S consumer at the pump and in the grocery store. And I don't think that was their intention when they put the sanctions on, but that's what they're doing.
So maybe the administration changes course now. That's yet to be seen. How about Brazil buying Russian fertilizer? It looks like a lot of countries are still doing business with Russia, like nothing ever happened. Again, we're talking about commodities here."
