Did Hell freeze over?

Did we die and go to a conservative heaven?

“What is the world coming to? Pat Dollard reports the Russian leader warned the US against adopting socialism because it doesn’t work: Russian Prime Minister Vladamir Putin has said the US should take a lesson from the pages of Russian history and not exercise “excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the state’s omnipotence”.

“In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state’s role absolute,” Putin said during a speech at the opening ceremony of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.”[Snip.]”

Sounds like the "peace offensive" is on again. The sneaky lying enemy bastard took over private enterprises and jailed the owners. Anyway, thanks Ernest.

Russia is going downhill fast. They must now get back in a mode where US companies and banks spend tons of money to keep them afloat like happened during the seventies and eighties.
Putin and his gang where tough when oil stayed high. Now they wonder if they will make it through the next few years. Time to get back in bed with the west. I don't trust the bastards period.
