[click image]The Russian people are not taking this "recession" very well. There are again rumors of massive protests, but no confirmation from reliable sources on that front. The UK press is even more rabid against them than sources in the US. I made the rounds of all my not pro-Putin translation sources and don't see anything about protests. Grousing, yes; protests, no. The CFR is calling this move by Putin theater for the masses. If you choose to believe that, okay, but, damn, wouldn't it be nice if Obummer were doing a little of this kind of "theater"?
How about if he'd have called, say, Tim Geithner a "cockroach" instead of hiring him?
I'm sorry. Putin is fifty times better in statesmanship.
