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.

So... basically when Crimea got stolen? I forget if that was also US sanctions, my selections memory remembers we were too soft on them back then.
