Russia Obtains Junk Bond Status! Half of the Banks in Russia will Collapse in 2015!

Russia is completely bankrupt and this is not acceptable.

Putin: Stop playing with your toy soldiers and fix the Economy or Leave. Just what I had predicted years ago when Putin was flexing his triceps, biceps and forceps, he forget that brains are really far more effective than brawn. How many times must I have to say that the Russian people deserve better than a miniature Rambo flaunting his six packs while Moscow and St Petersburg are descending rapidly into the cauldron of economic collapse? Contrary to many US intelligence assessments that we Americans are descending into a new Cold War…. we are not in any shape or form.

How do I know?
I was intimately involved in the one and only Cold War which was terminated “without prejudice”. The fact that we are pre-positioning US military equipment into the Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Bulgaria—Hungary once again chose the wrong side—means little more than allowing our European allies in the surrounding area to have a sense of comfort that we Americans are present in someway.

The real problem lies not with America or even the western countries. It lies squarely in the mind or lack of mindful thoughts of Vladimir Putin. He knows little or nothing about fiscal or market forces that are whipping his country into a humiliating bankruptcy. Russia’s economic collapse is nothing to gloat about for those of us who had helped to ‘terminate’ the Soviet Union once and for all. Real Russians will suffer the brutal winters of scarcity, the likes of which will hint at the misery that Russia once had tolerated during the dysfunctional Soviet Era. When my Russian friends and I had to stand in bread lines in the late 1970s and early 198O’s on Arbat Street in Moscow, I felt a kinship with all those people who were grateful to just receive a loaf of bread for one Kopek.

I was not grateful but furious that all these brave, honest citizens of a once Great Russian Empire had to basically beg for what was rightfully theirs---food and clothing.

Yet like the selfish apparatchiks who ran the dysfunctional Soviet Union, these new Kremlin Kleptocrats, an extension of the old corrupt KGB, have elicited absolutely no concern for their fellow Russians who did not rob, steal and destroy the State. Putin is now the only leader in the history of Russia who purposefully took a great country that could not afford a $50B Sochi Olympics and destroyed it’s industries, infrastructures for nothing more than his own narcissistic insatiable needs. He is more pathetic than feared. He is weaker than he is stronger; and he is clearly more ignorant than he even realizes.
However the Ukraine debacle started, the real issue now is who will save Russia from the Russians? As I had repeatedly warned, Russia cannot effectively exist on the forced reality of $40 per barrel of oil.  Putin was alerted six months ago by me and his financial ministers. He did not believe that oil would drop intentionally or otherwise to $40 dollars a barrel and even lower.

My Russian friends, it’s time for you to go into the bitter winter cold and demand that Putin relinquish the reins of control to your brilliant technocrats who have not been corrupted by the Kremlin Kleptocracy and turn the Russian economy around ASAP! No one man since Ivan The Terrible or even Stalin has destroyed such a great nation as Russia. What you need more than ever is Peter the Great; who reached out to Holland, France, and German to help him and his citizens become a modern nation. What you do not need is a MUJIK [peasant] who knows nothing except how to fight on a Judo Mat; demonstrating nothing more, than brute force and ignorance.

Think of what the great writer Leo Tolstoy would have said of Putin---“ He is a BLOOD STAIN on the rich soil of Mother Russia!”
“Idite Damou”, Putin! 

Go home, Putin! Leave Our Great Mother Russia alone to recover from your assault!
