PUTIN AND HIS PROBLEMS...

Has Putin a problem? Yes, the rouble is currently in the rubble and with each passing day their economy begins to look less like Bloomingdale's and a tad more Dollar Store...but wait. The Ruskies came out of WW2 with more than a bit of collateral damage and there are not many people on the planet (except the Jewish variety) who have spent most of their history not just beating the survival odds but coming successfully through. So before the neo-Cons get all smirky, it's surely in nobodies economic interest for the Bear to get too may stings and lose the honeycomb.
