So they say were are doing terrible, then say we shouldn't protect ourselves and go down with the sinking ship. Russia has everything it needs within its borders and can trade with trade partners. And I don't believe everything I read about this Crisis in Russia. Yes there is a economic downturn. However, a lot of corruption is the cause. Remember how Putin reopened a factory in one day. Then everytime I go to a store, I see nothing but people shopping and buying nonsense and comfort items. World Bank is the head of an agenda.

The Russian people are suffering just like the American people from this economic mess. I don't think any of us should get overly optimistic about the world financial situation. While some have made billions off of the bubble, others have lost almost everything including their jobs, their houses and retirements. All we can do is weather these bad times out and work for a better future.
