Fools….in WW2 the Russian people ate shoe leather while fighting back the Nazis. Their resolve and determination hasn’t changed. The Russian population is not like the Western population, which was the Neo-Cons first mistaken assumption.

The western war cheerleaders are learning a valuable lesson.

Sounds to me that the taxi driver needs to take to the streets and protest the high price of fuel! Oh...wait...you can’t do that without getting an all expense paid trip to Siberia.

60 rubles for a liter of gas equals $2.88/gallon. Pound sand.

Driving a taxi in the Russian capital was never very lucrative for Said, a Tajik migrant living in the Moscow region, but it paid the bills. Now, he says, the price of gasoline has jumped by more than 30 percent in recent weeks -- from 45 rubles a liter to 60. All told, his daily take-home pay is just three-quarters of what he used to net, he says; he can barely cover living expenses. "You work, and you pay your rent, and you pay for your gas -- those are all your expenses," he told RFE/RL, asking only to be identified by his first name.

I had thought that these Central Asians were more stoic!
