Vladimir Putin is sweating - he just managed to fork out $117 million his first installment - to the international banks - there is another one due in days, some $66 million - and then a big one - that may crash Russia's economy - $2 Billion.
Russia is in the economic doldrums regarding its failing and spiraling economy. The rouble worth has dwindled - and soon, Russia is dwelling on gold and Cryptocurrency to keep it afloat.
Russia's financial woes are tied to the Almighty Dollar.
Russia's significant assets are frozen - linked to the current sanction - that is just beginning to show its ugly head.
Russia has no access to any money - crucial financial institutions will not release any monetary assets - unless - Russia meets its international - obligations.
Vladimir Putin is stuck in an era - where Lenin and Stalin - did what they thought was best - in their own interests.
The Soviet Union was dismantled - try as hard as Vladimir Putin can - Vladimir Putin will not and cannot regain any status - on the international platform.
Vladamir Putin is a pariah - the United Nations and the General Assembly denounced the " invasion of Ukraine. "
The U.N. General Assembly - voting one hundred to forty-one to four - one hundred and forty-one voting against Russia - the four who voted for Russia - North Korea, Syria, Eritrea, and Belarus.
This critical matter had to go before the U.N. General Assembly - because Russia using its veto power - at the General Assembly - shot down the proposed Resolution - indicting Russia and its illegal move - invading Ukraine without any reason whatsoever.
For Eighty years, NATO has tried to circumvent the organization created to unite Europe.
Now - for the first time - NATO is threatened by nuclear war - and since Germany, for example, cannot deal with nuclear weapons - France, the United States, Britain - must step up and create a plan of action.
France has already revealed to the world that it has been providing arms and other sophisticated war technology - to Russia - illegally adhering to past negotiations and abiding by past treaties.
Germany - has been pandering to the Russians - it is dependent on natural gas and other precious minerals. Now it must make up its mind - cut off relations and face the wrath of Ukraine and other nations - or pretend to have a shaky relationship with Vladimir Putin, an autocrat?
Germany - is caught in a bind - more so - without the facilitation of Angela Merkel, who has retired as head of the German government.
Recently - President Zelensky spoke to the German government - and warned Germany to cut off ties with Russia.
Germany - finds it challenging to cut off relations with Russia.
This is not easy; current ongoing relations have profound repercussions that could seriously adversely impact Germany.
Also impacting - many critical decisions linked to NATO - other essential needs like natural gas that Russia provided to Germany and other NATO nations like France.
As Germany positions itself to stabilize Germany itself - its position - as a leader in NATO is slowly - eroding.
Germany - has been drawn into a position to contribute to the operational plan to deal with Russia - as Russia pretends to flex its muscles and bluff - threatening the world with nuclear weapons.
