THE WORLD ACCORDING TO BARRY: IMMIGRATION REFORM GOT IT? STOP THOSE EVIL REPUBLICANS! THEY ARE A THREAT TO HUMANITY IN GENERAL! DON’T WORRY ABOUT PUTIN THREATENING TO NUKE US! The rhetoric in Russia has been heating up lately with Vladimir Putin recently giving a speech in which he warned that playtime between the East and West is over. And while things between the United States and the former Soviet Union have always been tense, this time Putin might really mean it. UNREPORTED (SHOCK!!!!!) by the American mainstream media is the fact that the Russian economy, along with its currency the Rouble, is collapsing because of Western sanctions enacted following Russia’s annexation of Crimea earlier this year. First, the West’s banking system attacked the private financial holdings of Russian politicians and businessmen. There were even rumors that the U.S. would target Putin’s $40 billion personal fortunate held abroad. Then, Europe and the U.S. enacted trade restrictions on Russia, essentially crippling their internationally dependent commerce system. If history is any guide, the economic disaster in Russia could well be the catalyst Putin needs to motivate his people into a nationalistic frenzy that demonizes western nations and the United States in particular.
