so much as the rapid about face from Rand. He's been far up Putin's ass. Now he's "concerned." I have no doubt he's been paid money from the Russians in his time.

Markets are closed for Pres Day, but there has to be a readout on the pending crash.

Ruble wasn't looking good a few days ago.
Perhaps this planned event is why Putin was strongly pushing Crypto a few years back .

Also note that those goal posts are very vague/squishy. What exactly constitutes "destroying" the ruble or "crushing" the oil/gas sector? Whatever does happen, it won't be enough, he will always say it could/should have gone further in effect.

Everything he's done for the last 6 years invited Putin's criminal overreach. That's what happens when you sell out your own country (as well as other people's countries).
