The Russian Ruble Outpaces the U.S. Dollar — Here's Why This Should Terrify You!

The Russian Ruble Outpaces the U.S. Dollar — Here's Why This Should Terrify You!

Guess what just outpaced the mighty U.S. dollar? The Russian ruble. Yes, you read that correctly. According to Bloomberg News, the Russian ruble has made the strongest gains against the U.S. dollar this year, outpacing even gold—the traditional safe haven in times of crisis.

Now, think about that for a second: the ruble, from the very country we've been told is at odds with the West, has outperformed the U.S. dollar. How convenient, right? The same country that’s constantly accused of being in the back pocket of the very man running things over here is now, apparently, making its own currency a stronger contender than our own.

So, let’s pause and consider—just how are those tariffs working for us? Are they really benefiting America, or are we looking at the unintended consequences of policies that might have just pushed the ruble ahead?

A currency war, anyone? Just imagine the long-term fallout if this keeps up. It's time to ask: is this really how things were supposed to play out?
