Russia's Currency Tumbles as Investors Panic

Well, you are overly positive on this one...I know that the official party line is "Russia, doesn't need an economy, we will sink the $, China, bla bla "...but I see that many forget one simple thing: Russia is an empire. And as an empire, it's made up of a multitude of different people. And as an empire, it can break up, in times of crisis. Hell, it already broke up once in the 90's, when they were completely and utterly crushed economically ..

The situation is quite different from India.

The answer should be if Russia can survive, in it's current form, to the point when Crimea was worth it. I personally think it will, but I really don't know..if, for example,.EU diversifies it's resource needs in the next couple of years....expect nasty times ahead for our eastern neighbor and lot of revolutions in central Asia & Belarus..


The USSR broke up because the commies were stupid enough to divide up the Russian empire into a number of republics. This time, Russia has learned its lesson and only has 1 republic just like the US. Chechnya tried to break away and guess what happened? :p: Crimea is land. Land is the most important thing in the world. Land is not given to anyone without a fight. If Ukraine wants Crimea back, Ukraine can fight for it.

Andropov wanted to divide USSR into a few dozens non-ethnics states, like the United States. However, he died before he could realize his goal. Many believe that he was killed.

The US has two states, in particular, California and Texas, that are already majority Hispanic and becoming more Hispanic by the day. Expect trouble in these two states in the near future. :p:
