russia in recession affect supply?

[Curtton]

the Russian central bank jacked the rate from 10.5% to 17% yesterday. the ruble is on a free fall , declining along with the price of oil , oil account for more than 50% of russias export .


they are heading for recession so how is this gonna affect the supply of red rifles ?

Due to the embargo everyone seems to have on Russia regarding arms and the current situation in the Ukraine it's pretty complicated.

If anything, they would want to sell more to help their tanking economy.

Dollar was 37 Roubles in the summer. Now its like 100 roubles and climbing. Some banks are not even able to exchange roubles for dollars because they don't have any. People buying anything they can get their hands on as they know that comes tomorrow prices will go only up.

I just bought a Russian thermonuclear warhead for five bucks. When I get paid next Friday I am going to buy an Ekranoplan to deliver it. Tranna is on a lake isn't it?

I'm sure it'll get the price of gold up... Don't know about ammo

Well if we were allowed to export, we, or our importers would get a great deal as our falling dollar is still not falling near as fast as the rouble, however, I think most things are bought and sold with the American dollar with these countries! Still we can hope they get hard up enough to dump a bunch of surplus on the market!

No doubt Viktor Bout has already sold those rifles since he had alot of connections from his time in the Russian Airforce and Intelligence Service....but now that he is spending 25 years in a U.S. Federal Prison , I guess that money is not much use to him....

I liked this;

Trivia - Lord of War

"NATO had to be notified during the filming of the line of tanks and armor when Yuri visits the Ukrainian base, otherwise they would have appeared to be part of a war mobilization from satellite images."

Too bad about the fracas in the Ukraine..I suspect it will have a negative affect on any firearms export from there for some time....

Economics 101 would indicate otherwise: Russian products just got 2/3 cheaper and buyers will flood in from the West looking to make a killing; which they mostly won't pass on to customers here of course!
