For the past few days, the Russian markets have been stressed.
"Plunge" might be an accurate description.
Sanctions are one of several issues, some were self-inflicted.
( "We don't need no stinking reserve currency!" )
On 5/17/24, the Russian Stock Market stood at 3,501 - on 6/12/24, it closed at 3,171 - .
It has been reported online that today's stock average was around 2,200!
If those numbers are "abstract", the images tell an associated story ... long, long, lines.
The lines are in front of ATM's and banks. At least one large bank has shut down completely.
( Russia has a form of deposit insurance, but the payoff is puny. Most folks will be S. O. L.. )
Meanwhile, back at the ranch ...
An attack took place last night, deep inside Moscow.
Whether via a drone, or through sabotage, a very strategic office building was destroyed.
It was the headquarters of the conglomerate that produces all of Russia's military aircraft.
Their offices, design departments, and computers, have been turned into smoke & dust.
Some spare parts might be around, but not many. Ukraine has pummeled military equipment plants.

For the last 30 years I have been looking for products made in Russia. Other than some vodka I haven’t found anything. But then again I haven’t found the need for a Mig 29.😳

The reality is this is over. There is an Abrams tank in a Russian museum with another 4 destroyed and the balance pulled from the battlefield out of fear of losing them. The F16s still arent in Ukraine and may never make it to Ukraine because they know they wont last. They have already said they will keep the "extra" F16s in Poland becasue they are afraid of them being destroyed in Ukraine. Russia has legit security concerns with the F16 as they are capable of carrying nukes.
These drone strikes in Russia will only serve to make their resolve stronger and will serve to justify their original national security concerns with NATO. It will also push China and Russia closer together. Taking out their early warning radar was really stupid and indicates an effort to blind Russia to a 1st strike, which makes the threat of a nuclear war even more obvious.
You have to know this wont end with a Ukraine victory, that is just not going to happen. Biden and Johnson have royally fucked the Ukranians with their idiotic push to put missiles on Russia's doorstep and refusal to allow Ukraine to accept a peace deal with Russia and renigging on their previous deals.
The real question is why... why is the leadership in NATO pushing so hard to start WW3? Who is behind this? What morons think this wont end in a nuclear conflict? What moron thinks that is even a viable option?
Apparently the French and German people think the liberals in control are running them into a ditch... thankfully the French people cut Macrons legs off before he could send troops to Ukraine... what an idiot.

They are selling coal to India. The rest of the world doesnt give a crap about US sanctions..

Not to mention that we are hell bent on making Israel negotiate with Hamas for a ceasefire but have absolutely no interest in a negotiation with Russia and Ukraine. Yes we/NATO royally screwed the Ukrainians.

If they thought a peace deal in Ukraine would help their election chances, they would be working on one. The ceasefire is because Biden is losing and they think this will help him.
Since we are NATO, yes, we screwed Ukraine. We treated her like a $2 whore... merely a pawn in our irrational hate for Russia.

Yes we/NATO royally screwed the Ukrainians. Any "negotiations" by Israel are, and have been for decades, pure bullshit. The Zionists refuse to acknowledge that Palestinians exist, and are determined to continue their pogrom. Every "deal" has been a bait & switch, designed to keep the natives under their thumb, and defenseless. By the way, where is the "Messiah"? According to the Bi-Bull, the Jews aren't supposed to return until he shows up. Previous experience has taught the Palestinians, and the Lebanese, that there's only way to avoid Hebrew conquest: Kill as many Jews as possible, any way possible, as soon as possible. Make it impossible for them to make a profit from their conquest. That's why they left Gaza, that's why they left Lebanon. Insatiable greed, and legendary arrogance, only go so far. Every single dirty, difficult, or dangerous, job in Israel is done by "lesser people". Zionists are free to enjoy their Socialist paradise, while you pay their bills, and Palestinians get screwed. Congratulations.

Ukraine needs to destroy as much of Russia’s infrastructure as they possibly can.
Only then will the financial toll slow Russia down.
Israel needs to kill every last Hamas militant.
Only then will there be a lull in the violence. A lull not an end. This is a never ending cycle. Too many extremists on both sides.

Back to the Topic -
Russia has taken an interesting step.
Putin's puppets are staying ahead of the curve.
The Russian version of the FDIC is supposed to pay claims from depositors.
But, the only way to apply for these benefits is a website ... that no longer exists!
As the banks continue to fail, the damage will accelerate.
Citizens of Russia are desperate to exchange their near-worthless Rubles for Euros or Dollars.
Clinging to hope, they stand in line ... passive victims of a failed system.
The Russian Stock Exchange website is also offline ... .
That does not bode well, does it?
