Title: Russian economy in free fall.
Post by: mg1942 on September 12, 2008, 10:18:38 PM

Remember the gas price drop from a month ago or two? 
And the little sideshow they performed during the opening ceremony of 2008 Beijing olympics?   

It turns out it's affecting their economy... :uhoh

I hope our government is watching this carefully, I'd much rather win another cold war economically than get into a shooting war with them.

A conflict of some kind with Russia I feel is inevitable, more so if Ukraine and George are added to Nato.

People need to chill out a bit. The 'end of days' slogan is a bit overused.
