#1 Well, of course he does... The US is responsible for the woes of the entire world, right? If the US was gone, all the world's problems would be solved, right? If the US hwasn't around, why, Russia might run the planet's economy ~~into the ground~~ and the entire planet would be one big happy ~~gulag~~ place, right?

#2 In the great macro level of things, he's right. When the US economy gets a cold, the rest of the world gets pneumonia. Be careful, very careful what you wish for when you rejoice at a tumble of America's economy.

#3 Surest way to help the US economy and tumble oil prices is to quit buying so much stuff from the rest of the world. Of course Medvedev might not like it if Russia's income drops by 2/3.
