I know we all want to believe Russia's economy is way worse than ever and almost back in the stone age by now, but if you look at the long term, unfortunately it's not that dramatic...
You are both correct. A decade is a perfectly acceptable time frame by which to judge forex, however the two decade window fills in additional context.
True, but the way I see it, a graph shouldn't be cropped and left without a labeled y axis, especially when making a point about long term-ness.
One narrative is about effectiveness of sanctions, specifically the ones levied at the start of 2022. Zooming out beyond 2015 doesn't really change that narrative (no appreciable effect tied with a change that happened in 2022).
The other narrative relates to Russia's big picture strategy. Undoubtedly by this measure, Russia is underperforming. We might conclude that the sanctions was effective only once, in 2014. Or just a bad economy for another reason that spurred war.
