Yeah like in Argentina or other countries. Normally there's a black market with a substantial different rate that tells you the possible market value. At a certain point in time they have to devalue a lot then.

RUB cant float freely. It would be far above 100 already to the $.

M2 from Trading economics for Russia (Mordor). All time high in August.

Russia Money Supply M2 includes M1 plus short-term time deposits in banks.

No protest, no demo, crazy! I don't like Netanyahu at all or what happened but don't forget how anti Jewish many leftish organization's are in their core. Even here in Colombia I see many sign's free Palestine and Petro sent millions $ to them.
At the same time people die here in Guajira for hunger

Remarkably silent, however, is the “Sumud Flotilla” pro-Palestine, “We love BDS,” “Ex-Fridays For Future, Now: We love Palestine Without Knowing Anything About It,” “Queers for Palestine,” Neukölln-Baklava faction. No protest against the death penalty, not a word about human rights violations.

Hamas is carrying out dozens of executions in the streets of Gaza. Those being executed are critics of Hamas, people the terrorists accuse of being enemies and of “collaborating with Israel.” Crowds look on: men, women, children, entire families. Many cheer. There’s a festival-like atmosphere…

Hamas führt auf den Straßen von Gaza Dutzende Hinrichtungen durch. Exekutiert werden Kritiker der Hamas, die die Terroristen als Feinde ausmachen und sie der „Kollaboration mit Israel“ bezichtigen. Massen schauen zu, Männer, Frauen, Kinder, ganze Familien, viele jubeln, Volksfeststimmung….

Crude oil (EUR 542 mn) and coal (EUR 225 mn) constituted the remainder of their imports.

Turkey should be pressured more to reduce gas, oil and oil products.

Oil products are maybe soon going down as Mordor needs them by their own.

China and India are showing an opportunistic behavior...

Turkey!! in Sept

Turkiye was the third-largest importer of Russian fossil fuels, accounting for 20% (EUR 2.6 bn) of Russia’s export revenues from its top five buyers. Pipeline gas constituted the largest share of Turkiye’s imports at 40% (EUR 1 bn), followed by oil products at 31% (EUR 831 mn).

Coal revenues dropped by 13% month-on-month to EUR 68 mn per day, with exported volumes increasing by 14%. This is the first time Ru’s revenues from coal have dropped in the last six months

It will get worse and fast and tax reviews are dropping!

Revenues from exports of seaborne oil products saw a steep 13% month-on-month decline, at EUR 129 mn per day. Export volumes suffered a similar 9% month-on-month decline. These drops can be attributed to Ukrainian drone strikes on Ru oil refineries and ports, which handle high volumes of exports

Russian revenues in September 2025 are half of what they were in September 2022 — despite volumes witnessing a mere 5% decline, in this same comparison window.

How long Moscow feels fine we will see. If there are issues then it's a good indicator for a very bad situation.

So if St. Petersburg already feels it, so will Moscow a bit later.

Die Prämien um Leute für den Krieg zu gewinnen waren extrem hoch. Wegen fehlender finanzmittel wurden die kürzlich in vielen Regionen gekürzt.

Kostenlos war da nichts... aber ein Leben ist in Russland nichts wert.

What began as precision strikes on supply trucks has evolved into total air dominance, where fuel and ammunition never reach the front, leaving Russian commanders unable to sustain any semblance of coordinated attack.

I await that this winter the light in Moscow and St. Petersburg will go off for some while...

and people have not too much heating...

Russians deserve it as they do the same to Kiev almost every day.

Attacking certain gas pipelines would do the job...

No it will not change a lot as 🦩 Flamingo's do the job similarly.

Russia 🪆 ah Mordor would threaten a bit more with Nukes and then do nothing at all.

Yeah, why should Germany not handover as well some Taurus?

Germany could say hey you have to deliver as well some more Abraham's or better Patriot Systems.

This is crazy. Trump is apparently using his decision on Tomahawks to force Germany to hand over their Taurus missiles.
