down, down, down.....

alright, who sunk their retirement fund into the russian stock market? i'm quite enjoying the FREE FALL OF THE RUSSIAN ROUBLE. it seems like yesterday that vlad was the great statesman stopping obama from bombing syria into oblivion but now the russian rouble has fallen 57% against the american dollar year to date and that has to hurt vlad. but vlad is no idiot so he probably has a great deal of his personal fortune invested abroad. vlad's not going to miss any meals but his mighty russian pride will soon need a boost. i'm sure more russian hijinx is in the cards. so it goes.

if anyone is having a hard time selecting a gift for vlad, may i suggest giving the king of russia A DOLLOP OR TWO OF BULLSHIT. the perfect give for the certain someone on everyone's list who's just so darned difficult to buy for. of course any russian giving this gift to vlad would be wise to give it anonymously. siberia is very cold this time of year.

merry fucking xmas vlad!

i love you sons of bitches.

Just exactly what is this fucking post supposed to be about?

I'm not worried about the stockmarket, but I am worried that the new sanctions might push Russia into a corner. Crimea was historically part of Russia and if the people of eastern Ukraine feel part of Russia let them separate. Why pick a fight with Russia when you're trying to defeat the crazies in the middle east?

You are right to be concerned, GB. Russia ain't gonna just roll over due to siege. They'll counter, and we're not exactly doing that great here in Consumerlandia.

That shit has been going on all of my life but I can't see that it has much effect on my life so fuck it.

king - russia etc.

gb - i guess the question is; is the west picking a fight with russia or is putin picking a fight with the west to divert attention from the economic woes facing mother russia.

thims - russia has raised interest rates to defend their currency but i can't imagine putin selling the gold he's been accumulating. i'll bet russian citizens would love to convert their sinking currency for gold.

Putin is likely more interested in getting his carrot polished.

If Putin believes the shit they serve on RT then he thinks we'll crash first...

billy pilgrim said...

russia bought 37 tons of gold in september. putin is reportedly has a personal wealth of 40 billion (pre ruble crash) so i'm guessing he's personally sitting on a very nice pile of gold.

A nice pile of gold assures one that some gals will want to be sitting on his carrot.

Holy shit. Nice tune. Sorry I'm late for the party. It's always a game of chess.
