Putin has Russian oil giant Rosneft liquidate their foreign currency holdings to prop up the Ruble but it lasted only a few days.

The genocidal Russian currency has resumed its death march.

Anyone with experience of the Ukrainian war who saw the drone videos of Syrian rebels, especially of HTS, understood that they got help from Ukraine. Both, tactics and technology clearly resembled Ukrainian war tactics. The HTS takeover of Aleppo was in many ways the replication of Ukraine‘s offensive into Kursk.

The Kuweires air base east of Aleppo, which in September was still manned by Russians, was attacked Ukrainian intelligence units. Same goes with Africa where Ukrainians are probably supporting Touregs against Wagner units.

Ukraine is waging a global war against Russia with outstanding success and it is a painful thorn in Russia‘s side.

That is a good indicator that Russia’s financial reserves are substantially depleted.

They can print all the rubles they want, like Monopoly money, but to support the ruble’s value in the foreign exchange market, they need real money.

President Trump need not rush a deal, if he can get a much better one after the ruble crashes. In fact, precipitating that crash might be the best strategy to extract major concessions from Putin, or his successor. Also, that could better shape post-war conditions, to prevent or significantly delay Russian re-armament.

The Ruble Death Watch gathers around their terminals.
