Further on the geopolitical front, Simclicius recently posted two articles on the Russian economy. The first is about the Central Bank of Russia, which just raised the interest rate from 8.5% to 12% to address the weak rouble. The second is a military sitrep but the last half of the post is on the Russian economy, including the degree of exposure to external debt denominated in foreign currency. Both posts contain useful information; however, Simplicius is neither an economist nor trained in MMT so one needs to read between the lines with that in mind.
