#1 In this War for Globalist Socialist World Order there is no evidence the Commies or Lefties can control the Caliphate-n-Jihad-happy, Theo-Socialist Hard Boyz, + whether the latter goes Nuclear or not.

AFAIC, the only winner in a Russian collapse will be Radical Islam + Global Jihad, Caliphate.

#2 If the Fed had raised our interest rates in 2004 to reflect the actual cost of borrowing the financial crisis would have been significantly less than it was and maybe we wouldn't have had Obama as president.

Maybe the Russians are onto something.

#3 Vlad doesn't have Wall Street campaign ~~gamblers~~ financiers to keep happy. Before there was a Fed, the American economy experienced a number of 'busts and booms' tied to speculations. That's why the Fed was established to manipulate the monetary flow to end those cycles and an SEC to reduce the 'gaming' in the market. How's that worked out for you?

#7 The Fed's capital ratio is 1.25%. The Russians capital ratio is 12.5%. The Russians are sneaky buggers, but who is being more prudent? Hmmmmm

#8 But the USA is backed by the full faith and common decency of obama and other keynesians with photocopiers.
