The Economic Achilles' Heel
The Bolshevik empire's demise was inextricably linked to the collapse of oil prices in the 1980s. When the price of "black gold" plummeted to $15-23 per barrel, their economy, heavily reliant on energy exports, could no longer sustain its imperial ambitions. The same Achilles' heel plagues the "golden horde" (Moscow empire) today. Their budget is predicated on oil prices at $42.4 and higher. Every dollar below that threshold erodes their financial foundation, limiting their ability to project power and maintain control over their vast territories.
This isn't merely a matter of reduced income; it's a systemic vulnerability. The Moscow empire's economy is structurally dependent on a steady flow of petrodollars. When that flow is disrupted, the entire system begins to unravel. They lack the diversified economic base necessary to weather such shocks. Frozen reserves, while a factor, are a finite cushion, not a long-term solution.
Reagan's Strategy and its Modern-Day Echoes
President Reagan's Cold War strategy provides a compelling parallel. He recognized the Bolshevik empire's dependence on oil revenue and strategically manipulated market forces to undermine their economy. By working with allies like Saudi Arabia to increase oil production, he drove prices down, crippling the Bolshevik empire's ability to fund its military buildup and maintain its satellite states.
Today, we see echoes of this strategy. Free World allies are providing substantial aid to Ukraine (over €21 billion and counting), demonstrating a united front against Moscow's aggression. This support bolsters Ukraine's ability to resist, further straining Moscow's resources.
Moreover, Trump's tariffs and OPEC+'s output policies are replicating the effect of Reagan's strategy. These measures are putting downward pressure on oil prices, causing the Urals
oil benchmark to plummet. This directly impacts the Moscow empire's revenue stream, slashing billions from their coffers and forcing Putin, that dictator, tsar, despot, to make increasingly desperate choices.
The Inevitable Disintegration
The consequences of this economic pressure are far-reaching. As the economic lifeline weakens, internal pressures within the Moscow empire will intensify. Separatist movements and regional identities, long suppressed by Moscow's iron fist, will find renewed strength. The facade of unity, carefully constructed over centuries, will begin to crack.
This is not just economic hardship; it's a catalyst for systemic change. The parallels with 1991 are striking. Just as the Bolshevik empire crumbled under the weight of economic decline and internal dissent, so too will the "golden horde's" grip on its territories loosen. We are witnessing the early tremors of a seismic shift, a disintegration driven by the same forces that shattered its predecessor.
Decolonization is not a distant possibility; it's an approaching certainty. The nations trapped within the Moscow empire's orbit, yearning for freedom and self-determination, will seize the opportunity to break free. The current economic crisis, exacerbated by strategic pressure from the West, is accelerating this process. The fall of the Bolshevik empire serves as our blueprint, and the current oil price crash is the accelerating catalyst. The world is about to witness history repeat itself, and the outcome will be the liberation of millions from Moscow's imperial yoke and a more stable, just world order.
Bloomberg: Saudi Arabia just slashed Arab Light crude prices to Asia by $2.30 — the steepest cut in over 2 years — days after OPEC+ stunned markets with a massive output hike, sending oil below $65 amid rising global demand fears and Trump’s tariff-driven pressure.
need to get it to $40 and hold it there for a couple of months....
STILL, Is this the END OF THIS WAR & Moscow empire?
