Destroying the Moscow 
imperial war machine
. It’s worth remembering how Ronald Reagan took down the Bolshevik empire – without firing a shot. His secret weapon? Oil. As Michael Reagan said, “He did it without firing a shot… but he had a super weapon — oil.”
Now, President Trump is playing the same game. By pushing down global oil prices — especially targeting putin's Urals crude — he could send it below \$30. That price level is dangerous for the Moscow empire’s survival.
In the 1980s, Saudi Arabia boosted oil production from 2 to 10 million barrels/day, crashing prices from \$32 to \$10. The Bolshevik empire, addicted to oil revenues, lost \$20 billion in 1986 alone — 7.5% of its annual income — while already running a deficit.
Reportedly, CIA Director Casey promised the Saudis financial support, and 80% of Saudi oil that year was sold via U.S. companies like Exxon, Mobil, Texaco, and Chevron.
The USSR empire entered a deep recession. Foreign debt soared from \$30B in 1986 to \$50B by 1989. Gorbachev's reforms failed due to lack of funds. Public anger rose. The empire collapsed under its own weight.
Today, Brent is around \$62, while Urals trades much lower. Saudi Arabia is reportedly ready to drop prices to \$50. The Moscow empire can't survive under \$42.4.
Trump’s “peace plan” mirrors Reagan’s: use oil, not bullets.
