Vlad Putin : West wants to put Russian bear 'on a chain'

[Seaweed]

[KVB]

In my opinion the recent central bank moves in Russia show that the West has already won this current "war" and that Russia has been somewhat exposed (economically) as a one dimensional handicapper.

I would be surprised if V. Putin is still in his position even six months from now. The change likely won't be external, it will be internal. I feel that Putin has finally pissed off the people that matter in his world...the wealthy Russians.

I hear you, but the opposition is going to start pressing, and the people are going to start to feel some pain, if they aren't already.

I might give Putin a year, but he realy did fuk up with the oligarchs.

It seems Russia flourished under communism

Once it went democratic the country went down

Obama the first ever President to put Putin in a chain. Another great achievement.

Rocket I lived in and worked in england for 3 years. I made peace with you. Please stick to your nhl thread expertise. Don't act like you know who I am.

Thanks peace

Oh yeah and what work were you doing over in England.

[Sam Odom]

OK guys... do not be surprised when a few oil refineries mysteriously blow-up in the near future

that best part of this long running joke on how dumb russians are is 80% of country still polls in support putin lol

[19th Hole]

Russian economic diversification is a pathetic joke...They are on the verge of bankruptcy
and selling of gold reserves to keep the Wolf at the door from eating the Bear's ashhole.
Huge mistake to make a stand in the Ukraine.
As a former KGBer you would think Putin would have expertise outside of karate....lol
Poor Russian denizens are forced to remain in a corrupt country that barely got it's toenails out
of the 3rdWorld.
I feel sorry for the proud Russian everyman....

You ate the shit pie and are absolutely clueless. I'll bet you think America is a free country and you have property rights.

is betting on the rouble a good idea i mean what are the odds of Russia's economy bouncing back within a year i could foresee a double profit scenario if Russia figures this one out. I know OPEC isn't going to allow the oil prices to drop for much longer. This whole scenario shows how much EU/NATO conmen manipulate the oil prices.

Not a chance. Evil midget and his empire are doomed.

What is your take on this shit. In Russia you hear the US helped overthrow Ukraine's government with some Nazi's. The place goes to hell.

Russia is pissed about NATO at there border. With good reason. The US is blaming this whole thing on Russia. From what i see, that is not the case.

Russia then looks to China & other nations, The BRICS. Then oil prices start going down, The US wants to friends with Cuba.

Not sure if you even follow this stuff. But you did live there. Do you know what the fuk is going on. Is this the new Cold War.

I am not going to sit here and say Putin is a great guy. Don't know him that well. But i don't think he is the prick everyone is making him out to be.
