Moby could be the article link I posted before was a bit more relevant than your assessment. :)

Russian Ruble Hits 5-Month High as Oil Prices Rise

http://russia-insider.com/en/russian-ruble-hits-5-month-high-oil-prices-rise/ri14637


Quote from: manny

You'll get him confused showing him facts.

Let's get the facts, then  :chuckle:

My chart shows the Rouble's'highest' in six months - against the GBP was 12th May, since when it has WEAKENED  :coffeeread:

http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=GBP&to=RUB&view=1Y

Moby, you are manipulating again, TC is talking about the rouble strengthening against the $, which it is, and has been since Feb/Mar 10.

http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=USD&to=RUB&view=1Y

When making comparisons Moby, you have to be honest and use a like for like argument, the £ has strengthened against the rouble due to the UK's better economic figures, btw, it has also strengthened against the $ all since mid feb 16

Imagine you only used Yahoo 'news' [sic], CNN and Fox to gather opinions from? Its like Moby and his Grauniad. Eventually your brain starts turning to mush and you become a sheeple.

1/ to remind you Snowdon uses/used the Guardian as his medium to reveal his thoughts / knowledge..

They probably paid the most for his story..

2/ I have never bought a copy of said newspaper

Yeah right, so which newspaper do you/would you buy?

The only magazine I am paying for, is one that runs with most of my interests that are either hobbies or work for me.

A) Kijk (hobby, science magazine)
B) Computer magazines, but I usually only read them 6 months before becoming frustrated with the low level of knowledge inside them.

To be fair I was not referring to normal people but to Moby.

Or read the Guardian the lefty relatives buy at the sofa he surfs at near me.

Of course he doesn't BUY it (this is Moby), he reads it free online. Why he posts so many links to said publication here.

His handlers will be Guardianista Islington based lefty luvvies who pay him on him dropping keywords into topics on forums (how to manipulate Google searches). Readers will notice how often he uses the word "Grozny". Likely a tag word he was given. Just search "Grozny" here with him as author and you will see what I mean. This is a bloke paid to spread propaganda.

Some of you lot will jump on a any bit of propaganda on any Ukrainian site you can find.  (:)

And you remove proof of Kremlin News media fakery to places were most folks can't read ... How black are your pots, today ?

 :chuckle:

This thread was started by Manny - due to my pointing out TC was no 'messenger' - which this thread has proven.

Thanks, Manny :chuckle:

I see how you treat members who 'dare' to question your stance . You indulge in campaigns to suggest they are 'dishonest' whilst being selective as to what they can post in response.

This thread says a lot more about you than any 'russiophobic tendencies' you allege :coffeeread:


Carry on being selective in allowing which of my ripostes see the light of stay, editing my profile, making stuff up about my personal life and accusing me of 'stalking' your family..

Manny, I am one of those funny people that still buy a printed media on a Sunday..I have no particular loyalty. It is noted you never 'deal' with the fact that that well known 'russiophobe,' Snowden, used the Guardian as his 'mouthpiece'... :chuckle:

So now you are proclaiming 'moby gets paid' for posting his viewpoints - when the fact is -you are describing yourself -  you told us you won't appear  on shows without being paid -
 :laugh:

Once again, if I was being paid - I'm sure my 'handlers' would be asking me to find a place with a larger audience... :coffeeread:


'This bloke' actually goes to Russia, would live there and really is an 'insider'   :laugh:

Moby, you are manipulating again

Nope ... TC's case was suggesting a 'rouble recovery' ... the dollar weakened - I just gave the example of the currency I am most familiar with  :coffeeread:


As for 'mannyipulating ' - if you check the message count  - you'll see who is doing that ..


When making comparisons Moby, you have to be honest and use a like for like argument, the £ has strengthened against the rouble due to the UK's better economic figures, btw, it has also strengthened against the $ all since mid feb 16

As we can see the Ruble v Euro or Ruble v Rupee has been more or less stable for two months ...

Thanks for the 'lecture' - now we'll see that TC should be the recipient of your 'advice' ... :coffeeread:

Moby, billions of people believe there is a God or being of higher power but facts tend to prove otherwise. People are willing to believe what other say or believe, rather than deal with the reality of facts.

I'm 'sorry' is this leading to an explanation for your avoiding dealing with ANY of my 'awkward' questions, in response to your rhetoric  ? If you wish to discuss theology and the truth contained in the Bible or if Putin or Obama believe sin God, sure - let's start another thread.

I picked on your claiming to be a 'messenger 'which your 'responses' have shown to be a myth..this thread was created to try to protect you, by 'attacking' me  :chuckle:

Your constantly avoiding very specific points - like Manny's dreaded Grozny- noting he constantly ducks the need for legislation to criminalise media talk of secession from the RF while it is promoted daily in Ukraine - constantly gets ducked  :coffeeread:

You selectively twist the story to fit a narrative the masses will believe.

Tosh.. that's your 'response' ..to specifics - like claimed 'peaceful transition in Crimea' - names of Ukraine military killed ... ducked by you ... and others on here?


At least I'm willing to accept the fact that much of what I learned about Russia during the first 45 years of my life was not an accurate account. During the last 10 years I've had the opportunity to use a variety of sources to get a more rounded view.

ROUNDED VIEWPOINTS - deal with the ugly truths - that you seem happy to point out in Ukraine

Moby you would have made a great teacher here in the United states, much of the anti Russian crap you write is the same as we learned in school.

Thanks for demonstrating my point that you don't bother to read my responses...IF you had you'd know I very much question what I was taught at school  - esp. the question of the unwiseness of some British policy  the Island of Ireland that actually promoted the secession  - when only autonomy was sought.

I read Solzhenitsyn at school - as  15 year old - adn it started my fascination for a part of the world that only the most foolish of fools could suggest I disliked or 'hated' ...  :laugh:

TC

If you are just a messenger, why haven't we seen any posts from you about the Russian doping scandals that keep emerging  ?

I know some of the Russian sailing team and observed the work that has been put in by the competitors and staff.

They are not affected by the athletics ban.

btw This 'russiophobe' shouts for Russia when England plays them - I'm sure Manny will be as keen to look for those photos of me proving that  :chuckle:

But his mistake was to back up a headline that was misleading - Say it after Moby, ''the USD fell - the Rouble has not appreciated - as Moby demonstrated - we were wrong''

Moby if you take a moment and do a search you will find a thread started by westcoast on the subject of blood doping. You will see I did post links to the subject  I don't bother to continue posting more articles about a subject very few took interest in. Besides this is basically an old story continually brought up just to trash Russian athletes. Putin publicly addressed the issue long ago and Russia has been working to rid the problem. Here in the United states there's also athletes both professional and amateur that are also guilty.
Don't shoot the messenger, links to articles posted, don't necessarily reflect my personal opinion.
