Well, the weather was the real cause of the destruction of the Spanish Armada

@ the moral of the history is that the country that intend to or carries out the invasions, these are the ones that must lose, however long it might take

Make the calculation. A young 20 years old boy could have lived up age of retirement at say 65. He could have lived 45 more years of productive paid job. The illusory 3 to 4 million rubles in their contract represent, let’s suppose, 4 years salary. So that poor stupid thing is trading off 41 years of paid life for the value of only 4 years of life. The cruelty and cynicism of Putin to make such offer to young Russian boys shows how much he hates all of them and wants them to give their lives to him. How revolting! Diabolic Monster!

Perhaps Russia government was desperate for additional rubles and dumped lots of its yuan reserves in the market trying to get as much as possible rubles out of their meager foreign reserves to somehow balance or improve the looks of the public accounts before the year closing. So this resurrection of the ruble would be more like the living-dead temporarily getting out of the sepultures to enjoy the full-moon before the sun raise and going down their burial sites. Perhaps… you may know better …

Thieves and criminals like Putin and his gang cannot run a country. Pablo Escobar learned that early on and gave up his political ambitions. One cannot run a country and at the same time make a mockery of its legal system. If you, Mr. Putin, wants to steal and enrich yourself and your gang, go and run your mafia business outside the government. But, now it is too late. Escobar learned quick and enjoy his life as a powerful narco producer and seller for about a decade or so. You do not have anywhere to go, but the grave, Mr. Putin

North Korea can lend money to Putin. Putin just need to give them time to print as much as he needs of any currency Putin needs.
