Also from RUSSIA TODAY > {Rian.ru] RUSSIA'S SOVEREIGNTY OVER SOUTH KURILS IS IRREFUTABLE, MOSCOW TELLS US, JAPAN.

OTOH post-Soviet Russia's econ may collapse sometime this decade or the very NT than previously anticipated, e.g. after Year 2015 when Mosocw might no longer be effec able to pay its state pension obligations.

#2 Russia is doing just fine money wise. It sell oil and gas to most of europe. The UK is fairly dependant on it for supplies. If Russia was going to go bankrupt (which it probably won't, as it is in the green finacially) then it would just squeeze the taps and ask for more money. Their poor but they have common sense on there fiscal side. 14trillion dollars gdp to america and your a third of the way in debt, maybe more? That's most of africa and st america put together!

#3 Good point re the Russkies bucks, dVTN, OLD SON, youse learned to learn! Good one. Now, yes, the Russkies have Europe stitched up, no question. Seem to remember a shed loada Ukrainians or some dying last winter when the Kremlinski shut down the gas. Hard b'stards.
Now, is it any wonder Africa hasn't got debt problems when the average PCI is probs less than a freshly issued $1 note, if they exist. No-one will lend on that income unless it's the recycle öoney on your bottles, so, not huge personal debt levels.
Meanwhile, the big money gets stashed in Switzerland, not even bothering to get washed from it's origins, FOREIGN AID, so, still no debt or even thanks for the fish, just another war to pay their foreign masters for. SSDD.
Perhaps someone from S America could comment, not my strong point.

#5 Could we have a formal moment here for a second?
I know eloquently speaking I am not the most and I haven't pleased all all of the time but I am extremely proud to tell you guys that dVTN is my young 20 yr old son.

#6 oops, incontinence, aisle IV.

*blink* That's an unexpected way to describe it, dear Rhodesiafever. At any rate, fixed.

Were devilstoenail my son, I'd be proud, too. :-) I had the impression he was older than twenty, which demonstrates something, I'm sure.

We will do our best to elect more sensible politicians next year, here in America. The level of debt is making many of us very, very nervous.

#7 TW, 'tween me and mine, he knows that, as we all, a good lad, the best. Needs a spell-checker.

#8 Erm... I believe volvo is a chinese owned company, and although it's nice to hear that the gdp of africa isn't worth that of £100 I think you'll find it's worth considerably more to the chinese who have their whole foot in their rather then the desperate drone strikes to claim libya as a toenail (maybe just to defend the E.U.) That would be nice. Those swiss banks accounts aren't worth as much as you'd think, Oliver North just went through a normal American bank to carry out his dodgy dealings so... Would that conceivable today? Maybe. Maybe not, and after all these years DadN how could you! Will be intresting how it turns out now the chinese are building stealth bombers, second the US really only has a military idustrial complex left, not so much a consumer driven industry - therefore it would cause problems to tackle China when they produce a fair ammount of goods. The UK imports mainly from Germany ironically.

#9 Yes, Chicoms own Africa inasfar as Africa must pay in kind. Those mega-bucks in Schwiezland are worth nothing to folk on the lam and nothing to lizards.
