The Russians? No. The Chinese? Maybe - although they don't know a lot of things we do know.
Russians know that 50% of USA GDP is produced in financial sphere; that average household income in the USA is same as in 1959 but today 25-30% of this income is subsidized by the state. Situation in 1959 was much better because people and state were not burdened by debts unlike today. Accumulated potential for recession is bigger than in 1929.
