President Trump just delivered a crushing blow to Vladimir Putin’s crumbling war machine. Russia’s so-called mighty economy is falling apart faster than a house of cards in a windstorm. The numbers don’t lie, and Putin knows it.
Trump met with the Russian dictator in Alaska last Friday to discuss ending the Ukraine disaster. But Trump came to that meeting holding all the cards while Putin begged for mercy. Russia’s economy is on the brink of total collapse, just like we predicted it would be.
Putin’s oil money is drying up fast. Russian oil and gas revenue crashed by 27 percent in July alone, dropping to just 9.8 billion dollars. That’s what happens when you mess with America and our allies who control the world’s energy markets.
The Russian deficit has exploded to over 61 billion dollars in just seven months. Putin is spending money he doesn’t have on a war he can’t win. Meanwhile, Trump keeps tightening the screws with smart economic warfare that hits Russia where it hurts most.
Trump just slapped a massive 25 percent tariff on India because they’re still buying Putin’s dirty oil. This is exactly the kind of tough action that weak leaders like Biden never had the guts to take. Real strength means making hard choices that protect American interests.
Russia’s central bank had to slash interest rates by 200 basis points just to keep their fake economy from completely crashing. Their own economy minister admitted they’re headed straight into a recession. Putin’s house of cards is tumbling down.
While Putin wastes billions on weapons and bribes for dead soldiers’ families, his people suffer at home. Russian citizens are paying the price for their dictator’s foolish war against freedom. This is what happens when you challenge American resolve.
Trump’s economic pressure campaign is working perfectly. Putin came crawling to Alaska because he knows his economy can’t survive much longer under American sanctions. This is how real presidents defend America without risking a single American life in combat.
