He is doing nothing

Watching russian air defense fail day after day. videos of fighter jets desperately flying around trying to shoot down drones with drones in the foreground crashing into warehouses one after another. We’re watching in real time the myth of Russian greatness crash down.

“I’m already down 30% this year and every analyst is calling for a 20% S&P pullback in Q4”

I won't stop until I achieve everything I said I would

❗️Axios: The US Senate may vote as early as next week on an updated package of sanctions against Russia, which is supported by more than 60 senators. After the death of Lindsey Graham, the document was revised twice: the maximum size of secondary tariffs was reduced from 500% to 100%, and at Trump’s request, sanctions against Iran were added. Party leaders are still coordinating the procedure, but a vote is expected in the coming days.

Russia claims it shot down 571 Ukrainian drones overnight. There is no independent confirmation, and the number is almost certainly propaganda.
Fires in Russia often come from: • drone debris, • failed Russian air‑defense missiles, • or actual Ukrainian strikes that Russia tries to mask.

So yes — debris can cause fires. But no — the 571 figure is not credible.

Burying Russians at a record rate.

🚨 INSIDERS ARE DUMPING US STOCKS AT A RAPID PACE

In the first half of 2026, insiders offloaded $77.6 billion worth of stock, the second-fastest pace in 20+ years.

On the other hand, insiders only bought $6.7 billion worth of stock, which is almost at a 7-year low.

🔥 1. Russia is flying aircraft that are no longer airworthy
• 95% of passenger traffic uses Boeing and Airbus. • Sanctions mean no certified parts, no service, no inspections. • Many aircraft have exceeded their certified lifespan.
🔧 2. “Aircraft cannibalization” is widespread
HUR reports: • fully functional aircraft are stripped for parts. • even new planes are dismantled. • domestic parts = uncertified, untested, unreliable.

This is exactly what happened in Iran — and it led to fatal crashes.
🛫 3. Domestic production is a fantasy
Russia promised 1,000 civilian aircraft by 2030. Actual capacity: 26 per year. MS‑21 and Superjet still depend on Western: • engines, • avionics, • composites.
No replacement exists for An‑2 or An‑24/26. These are flying antiques.
⚠️ 4. Airports are collapsing too

• 158 airfields have safety violations. • 134 need major reconstruction.

💀 Is flying in Russia dangerous?
Yes. Not because of sabotage — but because the entire system is structurally unsafe.
It’s no longer an aviation industry. It’s a parts‑scavenging operation at cruising altitude.

“Does he believe it himself?” When Putin claims Russia can “independently produce all necessary materials and components,” it’s not a factual statement — it’s political theatre.
🔹 1. Russia is not self‑sufficient
Russia still depends heavily on imported: • microchips, • optics, • advanced circuits, • CNC machinery, • composite materials.
This is why the Kremlin runs massive sanctions‑evading import networks through China, Turkey and the UAE.
🔹 2. No one contradicts him
Putin has built a system where truth is dangerous. When he speaks, everyone nods — even if they know it’s false. It’s not belief. It’s survival.
🔹 3. Does he personally believe it?
Putin believes the version of reality that keeps him in power. He knows the industry lacks components. He knows sanctions hurt. But admitting it would mean admitting weakness.
So the real answer: He believes what he needs to believe — and no one dares challenge him.

🚨 JAPAN MAY SOON BE FORCED INTO ANOTHER MASSIVE CURRENCY INTERVENTION.

USD/JPY hit 163.991 today, very close to 164, a level considered very critical for the Yen.

Earlier this year, Japan spent a record ¥11.7 trillion ($73 billion) defending the yen.

The intervention triggered a sharp drop in USD/JPY, but the relief lasted only a few days before the pair resumed its climb to fresh 40-year highs.

Japan still holds around $1.09 trillion in foreign currency reserves.

But if history repeats itself, the next intervention may need to be much larger than the last to have any lasting impact.
