| #17 The rent seekers will make sure they are protected and we are still slaves. Next stop for the proles, the realisation of their serfdom. |

| #16 Looting the state? Holding up others over oil? Seems like there is a lot of that going on these days Oligarchy is the spirit of our age. The alliance between politicos and asset-stripping / arbitraging gazillionaires knows no boundaries. |

| #14 Russia's government and social services, education, health care etc are a shambles. The point is that Putin and his fellow thieves are piling up surpluses and will do so as long as oil's north of $40/bbl. They're adept at two things: looting the state and playing the pipeline card against their neighbors. Europe, esp Germany, is desperate to appease them. |

| #11 Greece will make massive cuts in the country's bloated public sector, which makes up roughly a third of the workforce. A public sector pay freeze was extended until 2014 and treasured holiday bonuses will be scrapped for many employees. Pensions will also be cut. Drudge post. Will be showing at a theater in your neighborhood soon. |

| #10 Right on Lex!. Look at GNP debt percentage as well and you will see Russia is one of a few in the black. Greece is 13% while ours is 16% of GNP. |

| #9 The real winner in all this is Putin. Zero exposure to the PIGS, and ready to divide and conquer, with pipelines, a weakened and increasingly strained European energy market. |

| #7 Seems like these economies are trying to pay off one credit card with another credit card. Eventually, this catches up with you. These shaky countries probably have links with the U.S., Japan, China, etc. |

| #5 I can see that Germany, France, and Britain are the ones getting to fund this European Union "economic adventure" in a BIG way. These basket-case countries owe France and Germany a helluva lot more than they owe each other! |
