[GOP_1900AD]

"Feign weakness..." Sun Tzu. Naturally, this discrediting operation, designed to initiate the demise of Yeltsin and set the stage for the rise of Der Fuhrer Putin, was painful in the short term, particularly for the neo-kulack petit Capitalists who had been put in charge of the cleptocratic facade which was needed to fool the West into thinking that Russia was now a place to invest; a so called emerging market in the vein of Malaysia. But in the end, as we can now see, Russia has now fully reaped the benefits of the mother of all NEPs, and can now thumb her nose at the West. Ruble ascendant, and GDP amongst the world's top ten. Meanwhile, the West are blind to what is coming.
