Russia Is In Crisis And Putin Is Fighting To Survive It
Business Insider ^ | Dec. 27, 2014 | The Economist

Posted on 12/27/2014 5:01:50 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

The risk of a financial crisis in Russia has risen because of a precipitous fall in the rouble in mid-December. Recession, falling living standards and rising economic uncertainty look set to be key sources of political instability over the near term.

Putin’s answer to his crisis would logically be a tried and tested creation of a political/war crisis to immediately cause a large jump in crude prices. The closer related to a slowdown or cutoff the world’s oil supplies, the faster and higher the crude oil prices. This is a no brainer for Putin.

KGBputin should have stayed within his borders.
Ukrainians will bleed him, decent Russians will gulag him!

It would be much worse for them if they were being led by comrade obama.

Mother of God, chase Putin away!

Looks like she listened to the prayers and she is doing it!

Pray for Ukraine!

Austerity and Debt is to transfer all countries to global elites...then Under Global Financial Governance. Interesting graph

Maybe.... However, I think it is a bit much to call Putin Hitler as the Ukranians (who liked Hitler back then) are now calling him. I think Obama reminds me more of Hitler; albeit an affirmative action type fuehrer, than Putin does.

I normally understand that point, but when Ukrainians call someone Hitler like, it is a little different than people in Oklahoma calling him Hitler like.

Going across your borders to invade other nations, is rather similar when all is said and done.

Austria wasn’t a threat to Germany. The Ukraine wasn’t a threat to Russia.

Putin is just like Hitler in this. There’s really no getting around it.

You don’t invade your neighbors and hold territory.

Didn’t we back the Nazis in the last election in Kiev? Doesn’t that make Putin more like Stalin?

Send your complaint to the Ukrainians, if you think they are confusing Hitler and Stalin when they label the current leader of Russia.

It was a joke. Are you devoid of a sense of humor? Or are you one of those folks that takes everything on the Internet so seriously?

Here’s one to noodle on...it’s all BS. We are picking a fight with someone who needs a fight. And you are falling for it, just like you fell for Iraq.

Just can’t wait to go to war.

Read your post, and you think that I am devoid of humor because you are claiming that you were making a joke? You sure seem bitter and angry about something.

Is your man down, is he catching heat, the Ukrainians angry at him for invading them?

You sound like a raving war monger, that is afraid that the Ukraine may survive.

I have tangled far too often with you. Not gonna happen any more.

Go back and make sure you’ve taken your pills. I have many better things to do.

Have a good night. And it will be a happy new year if I don’t see your name again.

Post 13 sure didn’t seem to be anything other than a one sentence comment, but it sure set off a bizarre and powerful reaction from you, really nasty.

If someone has issues that require pills, I think the way you lashed out without provocation, and with such emotion, reveals why you mentioned pills.

You really sound like someone killed your dog.

You know, you are obnoxious on every thread I see you on. Is that your raison d’etre? I suggest you take a happy pill as you need one desperately. Maybe then you would stop stalking your FR victims who make the mistake of engaging with you, dooming then to your vituperative comments that never quit.

Interesting little stalking thing you have going there.

Post 13 was a simple one sentence post, and Vermont came after me with anger and vitriol, and you show up to attack me and even ping someone else who isn’t on this thread to join you.

You aren’t even on this thread, except to launch a personal attack on me, and you ping another gal who also isn’t on this little nothing thread, in other words a stalker from some past disagreement who is carrying a grudge from thread to thread.
