See? Regardless of the policy their currency cannot go to 0 because it has an intrinsic value backing it. The resources and the people of the Russian Federation

  I get your point, but I see it more like the government can continue to force people to make the currency valuable by requiring payment in rubles. Hence the manipulation. If you got rid of the government, the value of the currency might still go to zero, while the intrinsic value of the resources could still be worth something paid in another currency.

    Of course the organization of people under a single entity is what gives them bargaining power. If there was no Russian government and army then you would just go in and take whatever resources you like at the cost of maybe a couple of bullets.
