Ruble dives, Putin Scoffs, Kremlin Remains Silent
Well now: new sanctions against the Siberian Disrupter: Vladimir V.
Putin. President Trump's Russyan bro has taken an economic hit despite recent improvements in the price of oil, the No.1 export money maker of the Federation. What next? Further sanctions which promise to bring the arrogant former KGB agent to his knees. Those sanctions will include a severe restriction of Aeroflot's access to the American/European markets. All those oligarchs will have to drive their Ferraris from Moscova to London to get pounds out of the City of London's banks. Won't that be fun? The value of the rouble has dropped about 10% in the last day, making its losses equal about 24% for the year. Too bad for the Kremlin. Maybe they will get the message: NO MOre International Assassinations with restricted poisons as per the agreements signed by your own representatives(see Skripal story). The most recent deaths in the UK has put the world on notice that Russya continues to be Russya. The sad decline of Russya under Vova's rule continues unabated.
