    Until the oligarchs bleed more money than blood, it doesn’t matter how far the Russian economy falls. Even with them losing so much ground in Syria, Putin is going to push forward with the war and Cheeto Mussolini is happy to be bribed a few million to stop US aid and pressure Nato to help draw the new Ukrainian borders.

    Fucking ridiculous world we live in.

      It more about who’s blood and money is leaking out. They are fine with loss as long as it’s you common peasants.

        That’s exactly the point of my statement. It’s only down 10% against the Euro. Most the oligarchs have their money in private funds in the Seychelles, Switzerland, Panama. Check out the Panama Papers for a good idea of how little the Russian oligarchs care about the Ruble.
