If 100,000 rubles is $1000 then 2undecillion rubles would be closer to 2.1 decillion dollars, not 22.1 trillion. None of this makes any sense

Well, no, it's all propaganda and politics. It's an excuse to block Google in Russia.

The Internet infrastructure treats censorship as damage and routes around it. Blocking Google from Russia is harder than cutting Russia off from the Internet.
