I understand.
I am trying to read tea leaves here and predict Putin’s moves.
Are the Ruble woes and inflation caused by the invasion and the West’s sanctions?
If yes, does Putin giving up and leaving Ukraine automatically remove the sanctions?
How fast would their economy improve?
And, how bad does it have to get for the average Russian for their pain to influence Putin’s decision making?
So many questions.

I think ours is tanking pretty hard too. We haven’t had to lock up the butter and dairy yet but the stores are definitely caging up the power tools now, and watch the baby food aisles like hawks because of the thieving by criminal resellers.
