Global News
What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

irans war greatly benefited RUSSia, IN THAT THEY CAN recover the money they lost on the ukraine invasion since the oil prices are so high right now.
Ironically the USD:rouble rate is rising the last several days.
The rubles "value" is not very predictive of its real value because no one uses it. It's like if I print and exchange "Valmonds" with my friends for 10€ a piece (having my "central bank" buying them back for 10€50 to keep "the price" high), doesn't make them actually valuable.
Afaik RUR was following the oil price quite closely for many years until 2022, seeing as oil exports dwarfed everything else. Since then, the Central Bank of Russia did a lot of trickery to control the rate. However, the rate was pretty stable for weeks at ~70 rub/usd, after USD:RUR has fallen a bit — until the last few days, precisely when oil price should've risen, and idk what caused that. It's jumped to 84 rub/usd in about four days.
Russia didn't stop selling its oil, it even kept selling it to Europe through middle-men.
Proof or crawl back.
I mean relevant quantities, of course.
And barring slovakia and hungary, we know about those aholes. Still, we're so low on any russian energy import comparing to 2022 it's just crumbles left.
