2. Put it this way

If he has any dreams of being placed alongside Lenin in that mausoleum, his chances of having them fulfilled are minimal at best.

3. Little Stalin has a purge or 2 left in him.

And China isn't going to bail Putin out -they're going to buy Russia for pennies on the ruble!

At this point, all of these reports about the Russian economy are simply click bait, Chicken Little attempts to grab attention. Time to start ignoring these stories.

6. IMF analysis gave an 18-month window from this past June

GDP growth has slowed from around 4.1 % in 24 to 1.1 % in Q2 25. Defense spending is just over 40% of govt spending. Labor constraints are real, and getting worse. Oil revenue is down almost 1/3 from last year.

CSIS analysis broadened the window of opportunity through 27, and concludes that without structural reform or stabilization in oil revenues, crisis point could hit within 1–2 years

8. Unless things change it looks like the U.S. isn't far behind

Dump is following putin's playbook.
