Wild idea here: fucking cut it out in Ukraine.

It's like they learned absolutely nothing from their bullshit in Afghanistan in the 80s

And admit they where wrong, remove troops from all Ukraine and take responsibility for all war crimes and reparations? Not sure how Putin would sell this as a win for Russia on national media…

It would be his end.

Pretty sure Ukraine would be fine to go without reparations and Putin wants regime change. So an agreement that Zelensky leaves and there are new elections in Ukraine would be fine. He controlls all the media in Russia, so he could make that work.

However he does not want to do that.

So every time Russia doesn’t like a Ukrainian president, they can go in, thrash the place (no reparations due) and force new elections?

I doubt you would accept this in your own country.

Sadly, Putin cannot do that and keep his head. So he will not.

Russia Raises Interest Rates to 12% After Ruble Plummets

Russia’s Central Bank hiked interest rates from 8.5% to 12% on Tuesday in an emergency meeting after the ruble slid past 100 against the U.S. dollar the day before.

“The decision is aimed at limiting price stability risks,” the Bank said in a statement.

And this is with all the fuckery they did to artificially stabilize the rouble. Sanctions are working hard man
