[quote:Anonymous Coward 64898914:MV8yNjkyMjc2XzQ3MzA5OTc1XzkzOUQyOENB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 47754288:MV8yNjkyMjc2XzQ3MzA5NzAzXzNGMjEzNjMy] Lets face it Russia doesnt care what anyone thinks or anything about treaties it made with others. The people, with nothing of their own are being promised that invasion of richer countries and economies will provide them with what they don't have now. 9 timezones from the Baltic to the Pacific and Russia just cant seem to stay within it's borders and provide for it's own. So instead it bullies and threatens Europe with nuclear war for having friends that Russia doesnt like. Russia is like a steroid fueled pro wrestler picking fights among patients in a cancer ward hoping to loot the pockets of the patients for their valuables. Russia claims the right to do whatever it wants on BOTH sides of any border it chooses and you better not do anything not fully sanctioned by Putin and the Oligarchs. [/quote] :clappa: [/quote]
Original Message
A double whammy of falling oil prices and sanctions imposed over Ukraine has led to rampant inflation, a plunging currency, a stagnant economy and a loss of confidence among foreign investors.
The Russian central bank said Monday it expected no growth in 2015, and little improvement the following year, confirming what many economists and external officials have been saying for months.
