I asked if Putin had dropped the hammer yet and you respond with this. Wonder not why people respond to you like you're the village idiot.

War in east Ukraine to leave economy in ashes. Who will pay for recovery?

Before, the IMF money was a sure thing; now many analysts predict Ukraine could default by the end of the year.

Another looming financial burden hanging over Kiev is the $3 billion in Eurobonds issued from Russia in December 2013. Moscow can demand repayment before the bonds are due in 2015 if Ukraine’s debt-to-GDP surpasses 60 percent, which at present, seems likely.

Other Western aid includes a $1 billion loan guarantee from the US, up to $3 billion from the World Bank, €600 million from the EU, and $100 million from Japan.

Has the S&P plummeted yet?

It might be beets with an aftershave chaser like the good ole days, if the little bald man gets too prideful.

Constrictor hold applied.

If Putin was such a bad man he would have E. Ukraine by now. But he's thinking if Russia can actually handle the sleeper hold. So far he has fought back against the US by closing 4 McDonalds Restaurants, ouch...

Is this the type of debate that's important to you?

Wow...

I thought you were better than that.

My mistake.

What would you Macho (wannabe) Men do to Pootin if you were in Obama's chair?

I would expedite every single LNG terminal application and encourage more.

Russia is nothing but an oil/gas company with an army and nukes. because of their inherent inefficiency they need $100+ oil to stay solvent and a ready market for their gas which they can sell to europe for triple what it goes for in the US because Europe has few alternatives.

Kick Putin in the nuts by starving his cash cow. Might take a few years but Presidents are supposed to think past the next news cycle and sound bite.

:lol Europe isn't the only big market for Russian NG. China and Russia are talking pipelines, and other Asian countries would love to have Russian NG, exactly the same coutries that US LNG exporters are targeting.

The dominant effect of US becoming a huge NG exporter will be for US NG domestic prices to rise 3x or 4x to match world prices, just like US domestic-oil-at-world-prices is not saving US consumers anything, while selling/depleting US natural resources to the benefit BigOil and its wealthy investors.

China absolutely took Russia to the cleaners with NG contracts. They got some overlapping deals very cheap. This basically illustrated the huge loss of leverage Russia foisted upon itself with this stupid Ukraine fiasco. Putin puts his pride before his brains and the Russian public, and many on this board, just lap it up.

A world power like Russia cannot feed itself. They have some of the most extensive farmland for the worlds #1 food crop, wheat(yes, ahead of rice), and they Frkn import the stuff? It's a joke. It's remarkable how badly their economy functions. It's hard to FK your economy up this poorly even if you attempted to ruin it on purpose. Their expertise in getting NG is so inferior to ours... and this is what their economy is based on, it's laughable.

When will this huge, proud nation with so many resources ever get things right? It's a cruel sad story what the majority of their people have had to endure. Put India in the same boat with a very different history. Huge markets make them players, but they can't make stuff. Sad.
