“Correct. And that weakness was exploited by Putin and his secret allies who acted like arbs [one of the few trading terms I know].”
OK, so the Russian economy is so divested from the world markets that crashing them would be beneficial to Russia. Perhaps pay back for the cold war was the goal? No, I got it. Bush and Putin cooked up this scheme out at the ranch over some barbecue. One giant problem with this conspiracy theory. It didn’t work. The housing market had already reached saturation, the law of diminishing returns had already peaked. That’s what caused the defaults to start. ARMs began to reach their two year maturities and the option to sell dried up on the vine. Then the bankruptcies became the new victim class.
Baloney is all lined up in a parade. Don’t forget to enter your float. Perhaps you can win the spirit award for best conspiracy theory on wheels with a pastel clad flower driven contraption.
So answer this. Where was the news coverage of the Russian financial attack? That should have come out on day one by the business networks. It must have been the liberal lame stream media that was doing the bidding of the George Bush administration again. Something is fishy about this theory. You could fly a 747 through the holes in it.
Sarcasm was unnessary. I had originally come here looking for answers. But OK.

Putin is a wonderful and practical guy, I agree. He’s all business. Not a warlike bone in his body. I’m glad that Obama is making a nuclear deal with him. /s
I never said that Bush was “in on it”. Nice try.

You trust the Alphabet channels that much? You need a talking head to help you listen?
“Something is fishy about this theory.”
I’ll tell you what was fishy — this entire meltdown. Fishy from the word “go”, right before the election. I agree we made ourselves vulnerable, but to think that foreign powers would not be tempted to neuter us with a leftist president? I think its quite possible that Putin is thinking long term.
