It seems odd that Putin would start a firestorm in the Kremlin over his kid being born. That kind of stuff is never good in Russian politics.
I’m going to morph my wild speculation from last night that he’s dead to a more thoughtful theory that Putin is just laying low til the dust settles from this turf war that seems to have broken out. Maybe he is being sidelined.
Imagine if you will the utter ecstasy of not seeing or hearing from BHO for 8 glorious days. :-)
I’m having such a difficult time deciding where to start that I’m going Occam’s Razor: what is the biggest problem right now in the world? Low oil prices that want to go lower, since demand is flatlining.
I am therefore expecting an action that constricts oil supply globally and eradicates a few nuisances while doing so.
