I believe you are a financial guy, but I could be wrong. Anyhow almost all markets have a threshold where there is a halt in trading when certain % of loss is achieved. This is why I stated yesterday they would probably be better off not even opening. I’m not versed in their futures market but I don’t think you need a degree in economics to know devalued currency and hyper inflation doesn’t equal steady markets. In a nutshell, my thoughts were the market would spend a vast majority of the day in a halt state, which is just amplifying pressure on Vlad and his boys.
I think a more likely scenario is that Chinese financiers buy them at bargain bin prices after the crash (think the Rothschilds during the Napoleonic Wars) and basically own Russia for dirt-cheap.
As we’ve seen with our country, I’m sure there are millions in Russia who see Putin as a great leader, and the West attacking. Imagine if we only had Fox News, NewsMax, and OAN. I assume that’s what it’s like in Russia.
Trump has said he’s running, and he’s obviously taken a lot of Russian money previously. he might not be able to mount a campaign worth a shit.
His campaign isn't paying Fox News to spew their shit, that will happen either way. Sure he's had some of their staff on payroll but it's not like they have another option for coverage if he doesn't this time.
Do you think Tucker is parroting Russian propaganda every night without reaping some benefit from Russia? I obviously don’t think this makes Trump go away, but if Russian money is out of the equation, his campaigning is going to be a whole lot harder.
https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=RUB&to=USD&view=10Y should default to 10Y but if not pick it, gives a much better view of just how fucked Russia is and the spiral they've been on for awhile. that first initial drop is the response to their annexation of Crimea and those sanctions are slaps on the wrist compared to now. this is going to give some people who survived the Soviet Union genuine PTSD, it's going to get real bleak over there, real quick.
I watched Vigil, so I am an expert on submarines. They intentionally stay hard to find even during peacetime.
some of you need to click on the twitter profile before posting here. If they have under 1000 followers, they aren’t breaking shit.
