Maybe he's allergic to moss cows...
A few weeks ago his currency was at an all time low.
Now the Southern Pipeline that could have been a great source of income, is a bust.
He’s seen as a pariah in the West.
Oil prices which his nation relied heavily on, have tanked.
And this is described as a rare diplomatic defeat.
LOL, I’d hate to see what passes for a non rare problem for him.
Falling oil prices could bankrupt Russia.
OIl prices have tanked, which is bad for the Russian economy. But who is this a defeat for? Russia is going to sell its gas; they simply cut their antagonists out of the picture. Meanwhile, in their war over Syria, they just cut off their enemy’s objective: Saudi Arabia just lost its reason to overthrow Bashir. The big loser is Western Europe.

What’s more: the North Stream directly into Germany is in place, and the route through Turkey can still be connected to SE Europe via Greece. Looks like Putin outsmarted the U.S.
Then we should be putting sanctions on Russia that mirror those we have on North Korea. Including a travel ban and pulling our embassy out of Russia.
LOL!
