It is possible since Putin controls the press in Russia because there is no free press there at all, that he will repress this news of what is happening to the Ruble as much as possible. So, only people who go online to site like this one will actually know anything at all is going on there. However, I've never lived in Russia so I don't know exactly how it is there.
However, I do feel very sorry for the Russian common people who are going through this because of Putin's top down decisions. I suppose if I lived there I would either support Putin or not because of my own past experiences there. However, one thing is certain: things are going to cost a whole lot more there now and that will remind people of the 1990s when the Soviet Union collapsed on itself because it wasn't a free market economy yet.
However, now it is more of a free market economy and cannot really survive well with both Sanctions and a price of oil this low.
Will Russia start bombing Saudi Arabia over the low oil prices? I don't think that would be useful for
either Russia or Saudi Arabia. Just like the U.S. won't bomb Saudi Arabia now for Attacking our Shale oil industry either. However, other things might happen instead.
After all, Saudi Arabians, (the people not the government necessarily) are one of the primary funder nations of ISIS.
And ISIS was partly created by Putin's stand to keep Assad in power in Syria.
Where is all this going? I don't know.
But, for now ISIS is Sunni World Phenomenon that the world has to deal with one way or another because ISIS soldiers (both male and female) are flocking from all around the world to ISIS at a rate presently of 1000 new soldiers per month.
So, what happens next? Mostly those 1000 new soldiers every month are going to kill at least 1000 people who aren't Sunnis likely in the next month or so and every month after that ongoing as long as this present insanity lasts.
