For sure Wall Street is shorting the shiite out out of the ruble under Federale Reserve directions. European traders too. Soros was able to short the Pound all by himself so imagine what combined banksters can do.
This is all done due to Bad Vlad’s Ukraine invasion and to discourage him from going further.
Of course low oil price is also killing the ruble.
What happens when Israel starts selling LNG to Ukraine and Europe from the Tamar and Leviathan fields? Is Russia finished?
I would love to see the value of the ruble drop hard, and then have Putin peg it to oil, gold, or silver.
