Russia needs a more sane leader, one who will concentrate on the well being of the people and it’s economy, and who doesn’t cling to the belief that war is how Russia grows and benefits, because power and conquest is all that matters.

Westerners keep making a fundamental error of projection when they “analyze” the situation in Russia through the prism of their own experiences. Most Russians have suffered far greater degradations and a denial of human and economic rights under the vile Communists. Russians for the most part realize that their country is just evolving from the communist catastrophe and their long term future is bright. They view Putin as a patriotic nationalist, are tolerant of mistakes in a strong purposeful leader and remain confident that he is is leading them in the general right direction. It is true that Americans would panic if the dollar collapsed but the Russian have had far worse experiences and view these tings a bit differently.

Regardless of what you think of Putin, Russians believe the US is waging economic warfare on them.

It started with the battle over Ukraine in the last decade, and now is on to economic sanctions and using dollar hegemony to squeeze the Russian economy and population. When that doesn’t work, I wonder if Obama will be ready for outright warfare?
