Here we have The Guardian, with an article entitled "Russia’s central bank to hold extraordinary meeting after rouble falls to 16-month low". Their conceit is that war is ruining the Russian economy. And I would generally agree on that point. But the news unironically states these sorts of things whilst blissfully ignoring the ocean of red ink the West is swimming in while pumping billions into the exact same war. Further, the opening paragraph states,

"Russia’s central bank has announced it will hold an extraordinary meeting on Tuesday to discuss the level of its key interest rate after the rouble fell to its weakest point in almost 17 months."

Meaning that the Russian economy was about here when they invaded Kiev, and then it got stronger after that. Now they're back to some form of a baseline. How come it got so strong? Why is it back down? The article offers a few reasons, but they're pretty surface ones that I suspect are mainly about following the NATO narrative like they're told. We are truly without guidance or objective analysis in this brave new media landscape, and it's disheartening.
