Putin predicts ‘revolutionary’ changes
Only “truly sovereign” states will succeed after “enormous” geopolitical transformations, the Russian leader claimed
I live in Russia. Most of Russian people were robbed in February/March of 2022. Those Russians who had western stocks / shares bought in Moscow and St. Petersburg stock exchanges lost everything. Those who had crypto were able to save their holdings, but crypto lost 2/3 in price since that time and it is not the end yet. I'm afraid crypto will go lower after Powell's speech at the end of this month and soon we also will have problems with stablecoins.
The solution is simple, withdraw your troops from Ukraine soil to pre 2014 borders, stop all hostilities, pay reparations, and all will soon be back to normal.
Russia was set so far back after cold war that it really hasn't been an issue since then, it's GDP is lower than that of Brazil, and its resources allowed Europe to continue to prosper. But it was always a matter of time until China decides to challenge current world order. So pushing resource rich Russia into China's hands is perhaps the worst diplomatic failure of the 21st century so far. China's GDP is 10x of Russia. The mechanism was put in motion and now there's no simple solution to go back to "normal", plus your "normal" was always temporary to China. On top of that if not Ukraine there's always Kazakhstan and Belarus that might need some "democracy" spread to completely push Russia under China.
