I'd mentioned previously that our favorite Slavic hottie dictator might not be infallible and his oil war might come back to bite him.
Russia depends on oil and gas revenues and to a lesser extent other natural resource exports that aren't doing real well either. And he has a much worse Rona problem on his hands than he's letting on, which can't be helping.
He very, very badly needs sanctions lifted.
But probably can't get them until right after the election, regardless how that goes.
The $Ts that he and his oligarchs have looted and stashed overseas aren't real liquid.
