00:00Russia is sitting pretty right now. As global markets falter, the ruble is on the up and up.
00:07It's now the world's best performing currency. Take a look. The ruble has strengthened 38%
00:14against the US dollar since the start of 2025. It's even outperforming gold seen long as a safe
00:23bet. Why is this? Well, firstly, Russia is perhaps the world's only country able to fully provide
00:30itself with natural resources. That means when the going gets tough on international markets,
00:36it only has to look within for what it needs. In 2024, not only were the usual suspects like
00:43gas up, but food production also rose by 3.5%. And as made in Russia became a byword for quality
00:51in friendly countries throughout the global south, more than two and a half thousand new
00:57companies exporting Russian goods have been registered. Trade between Moscow and Beijing
01:03reached peak fever last year at around $250 billion. President Putin has long known a country's
01:12strength comes from within a sense of sovereignty and self-reliance, and that allowing one dominant
01:19power in the world poses a huge problem. Certain norms, in fact, almost the entire system of law
01:27of one state, the United States, of course, has overstepped its national boundaries. And in every
01:32sphere, the economy, politics and humanitarian is being imposed on other states. Who would like that?
01:40So now, while the rest of the world is reeling from Trump's tariffs, it's also finally waking up
01:47to an idea outlined by President Putin all the way back in 2007. While the West sanctions against
01:54Russia have only seemed to strengthen its position, as Russia has sought to build up areas critical to
02:01the nation. We have a powerful group of opinion leaders who believe that lifting sanctions would
02:08be disastrous because liberal-minded officials would immediately try to curtail all our achievements
02:13made in substituting imports, freeing up our economy, production and security in areas on which state
02:19development depends, such as military food and technology. There is a growing fear now that these
02:24cunning Americans will suddenly lift sanctions and immediately flood our market with services and
02:29technologies that we have burned ourselves on. I will say it again, I am absolutely sure that
02:34President Vladimir Putin is correct, that we should no longer become dependent in areas critical to
02:39the survival of the state. Russia can now sit back and watch as the pack of cards that the
02:46world economic system has been based on collapses, and how quickly that has come after Trump started
02:54to talk about slapping on tariffs. For decades, our country has been looted, pillaged, raped and plundered by
03:01nations near and far, both friend and foe alike. Foreign leaders have stolen our jobs, foreign cheaters have
03:09ransacked our factories, and foreign scavengers have torn apart our once beautiful American dream. In a few moments,
03:17I will sign a historic executive order instituting reciprocal tariffs on countries throughout the world.
03:24Reciprocal, that means they do it to us and we do it to them. Very simple, can't get any simpler than that.
03:34Of the 180 or so countries Trump was looking to penalize, Russia was not on the list,
03:41with an explanation as simple as this, no trade equals no tariffs. Not in the list, Russia,
03:50Belarus, but Ukraine is on the list. Mexico, Canada, not on the list, other than the fentanyl
03:56tariffs already there. There's a decision making here. Well, Russia and Belarus, we don't trade with,
04:03right? Like it's, they're sanctioned, so. Yeah, you're not just trading with them anyway,
04:08so they don't get on the list. Yeah. That's not technically true, because in 2024, despite sanctions,
04:14Russia and the US did continue to trade, with Washington showing a trade deficit with Moscow
04:20of around $2.5 billion. But hey, let's just keep that one between us, because pretty much every other
04:28country has been caught up in the crossfire with zero protection. Given that for decades,
04:35the US has been controlling global markets through its continued policy of hegemony,
04:40you'd think someone would have predicted it could also bring them crashing down. Oh, wait,
04:46someone did. And while the headlines right now are blaming Trump for the global calamity,
04:52more than two and a half thousand new companies exporting Russian goods have been registered.
04:59Trade between Moscow and Beijing reached peak fever last year at around $250 billion.
05:10The globalization of the world economy has been destroyed, not by Donald Trump, but by Joe Biden,
05:16when he imposed sanctions and made them his sole foreign policy instrument. The fragmentation of the
05:21global economy began long before today. Of course, this process was accelerated by Joe Biden's use
05:28of the dollar as a weapon to punish the innocent. Service in dollars was stopped, barriers were imposed,
05:33as they were being bypassed, workarounds were being closed down. When there were trends towards the
05:39creation of alternative payment platforms and settlements in national currencies began to gain momentum.
05:45It was not for nothing that Donald Trump said before and after the election,
05:49that one of the crimes worse than a crime and mistakes of Joe Biden's use of the dollar as a
05:54weapon was revealed. Thus, he undermined the credibility of this means of payment and laid
06:00a time bomb, which is sure to explode sometime. Russia was long moving in the direction of
06:06self-sufficiency and those sanctions imposed over the last decade have only helped strengthen that
06:12journey. And the West, who threatened Russia with isolation and economic blockades, is now at a
06:19crossroads to make a deal and appease Trump or follow Moscow's example. How the tables have turned.
