Economic Warfare?

Russians bonds now only one level above Junk Statu...

When the Soviet Union was Anti-Capitalist, Anti-democracy, anti-God, and everything and everyone was owned by the Soviet State they were not vulnerable to what Russia is vulnerable to now.

So, either Putin wanted to return Russia to an Anti-democratic and anti-capitalist nation once again, or we are witnessing the beginning of a really horrific Great Depression beginning in Russia where many people will starve if they don't very soon get out of Russia. So, either you are going to see an incredible exodus of young people out of Russia (under 40 years of age) or you are going to see a whole lot of younger people in Russia without means yet starve to death over the next 10 to 20 years. So, if anyone reads this in Russia, rather than starve it might be better to be in another country if this gets any worse than it presently is there.

I don't think anyone, especially Obama or the EU wanted any of this. What we all wanted was Russia as a successful Democratic Capitalist nation. However, then there are the Putin or (people with his philosophy) that feel like the worst thing that happened in the 20th century was the  end of the Soviet Union.

However, 2014 here on earth is not 1917 and this likely is the worst disaster for any big country in the 21st century that we are witnessing happening to Russia. And it likely will devastate the EU and Britain too. This is really unfortunate for the common people and investors all over. This is really sad to watch!

It also could trigger another Great Recession or worse in the United States and aggravate the downturn in China as well. This is really Bad!
