Lukashenko said that no one needs the dollar and the euro, and they will “soon collapse”

“Now no one needs either the dollar or the euro. And this is not only in BelaruZ and ruZZia - this is already in many countries. <..> I say that because I have talked to many leaders.”

The self-proclaimed dictator of BelaruZ claims that the relevance of these currencies has fallen, “especially after talk that ruZZia would have gold and foreign exchange reserves stolen from them, assets that they kept in the West.”

The journalists all nod and agree, of course 😏

Funny enough, if you follow the desperate intents of the Z-Central Bank to support the Z-ruble or remember that a US dollar cost in 1999, when Russia was insolvent, between 22 and 27 rubles. Last year you had to pay over 100 rubles and now it is around 93, and around 100 for a Euro!
Not to mention the yuan is slowly expanding in ruZZia as second currency. But yeah, dream on!
