Oh, please....
It's capitalism in name only. Russia, like China, use markets to their advantage and convenience, while remaining Communist oligarchies at their core.
They are not, and never will be true partners of the West.
The financial elites’ PR attack on Russia continues.
Forbes, NYT, WaPo, etc., etc.
As if ANY of them give a rats’ patooty about the American sheeple.
This is all so the financial elites of globalist new world order can “Westernize” Ukraine...
first step, bring Ukraine into the EU.
PR PR PR PR PR PR PR PR PR.
Oh, and some more PR.
If it’s in our worst interests, obama will see that it happens.
We just saw what Norks could do with a laptop and a cheap hotel room against a major media outlet. They crumbled like so much rotten wood under the weight of Rosie odonnel at a cheeseburger buffet.
Now imagine what a vengeful, economically obliterated Russia could do with what amounts to a highly trained army of professional state sponsored hackers...
We had an opportunity at one time to reach out to Russia as brothers and partners. Sadly, that ship has sailed. I hope it can be salvaged one day though. Probably not before the wounded bear lashes out.

Actually, government controlled private enterprise is the definition of Fascism - which is what both China and Russia are morphing into. Oh, almost forgot, the USA as well......
propping up North Korea for decades has worked out so well.
There is part of me that agrees with you. But on the other hand, we have preached the great benefits of capitalism, still the Russian people have shouldered mostly hardship since 1989, and are probably starting to think they had it better under the old USSR.
