I head Putin say….
“We don’t want to collapse the global economy, of which we are a part of.
That means he thinks his provoked actions on Ukraine will collapse the global economy. My son has a girlfriend from Russia her father a banker said long ago, he thinks the US Dolla will collapse. Well, maybe this is the beginning. And the system is saying, lets get it over with go cold turkey. If the summer ’08 collapse, and then Covid could not kill the system, so new they wheel out a war that Europe caused or promoted by goading Russia to “step in”. They’ve done this a few other times.
