After almost two years in recession, the country's rainy day fund has shrunk to just $32.2 billion this month, according to the Russian Finance Ministry. It was $91.7 billion in September 2014, just before oil prices started to collapse.

And it's getting worse. Analysts expect the fund will shrink to just $15 billion by the end of this year and dry up completely soon after that.

They need the Clinton Foundation to manage their money. Solve their cash problems one way or another.

They might decide to go "protect" Saudi Arabia from a theoretical Iranian invasion.

They might need to cut off the oil spigot in Saudi Arabia until the Iranian threat has disappeared.

Just sayin'.

I wonder if they are going to take some American hostages just like Iran so that Omoron will send them a few billion dollars. Oh wait I forgot they’re not muslims.

I agree. The Left Behind books were theological malpractice.

More aggressive than whom? Look at what Obama did in N. Africa and Syria. How many FREEPERs know that the US and EU orchestrated the ouster of the elected government of the Ukraine and precipitated the Russian move into eastern Ukraine and the Crimea? Putin has flaws, but he hasn’t been the main destabilizing force in the ME or Ukraine.
