And now Ukraine has all the initiative, leaving the only Russian hope to murder civilians indiscriminately. Your boy, Vladimir, is every bit the master strategist.
From where is this four day?

Some estimates had it up to 7 days, I suppose. I am not sure how that changes anything.

Are you somehow inferring that things are going according to plan for Putin?

Putin and his Siloviki. You sure are deliberately obtuse when it comes to your favorite mob boss, kleptocrat and war criminal.

I fail to see what you find so admirable about this murderous cretin or his economic and societal basket case of a country. Enlighten me.

Sanctions are working. Initially after the start of Ukraine, Russian central bank was able to stabilize the Ruble by selling foreign currencies, but not anymore. Both reduced demand for their oil and gas along with international sanctions affecting imports are taking their toll. Looking at the bright side, India and China will buy oil at even more discounted pricing while Iran may have to drop their price on Scuds. From about 60 Rubles to the USD in January this year, its now 101 Rubles to one USD.

Earlier on Monday, the rouble was 101.04 per US dollar. The more roubles per dollar means the currency is weakening, as it will take more of it to buy one US dollar, which is typically seen as the most powerful currency in the world.

I only regret he didn't try to flee his totally foreseeable fate--that way he could have wound up in the Hague.
