Modern Russia is built on Black Sea oil. Russia was never any good at producing consumer goods so she has evolved into a major oil exporter since the Soviet Union collapsed. Russia absolutely depends on oil money.
With help from America’s Democrats Russia has become a wealth parody of everything the old Russia pretended not to be.
New millionaires are partnering with Russia’s criminal class that has always been a part of life on Moscow’s streets. They have become rich on the oil they could sell at twice its actual price thanks to the Democrats’ insistence upon putting caribou ahead of American families.
Just a few months ago a barrel of oil on the open, but artificially high market, was around $147.00 a barrel. This was great news for the Russians and bad news for everyone in America except the elected Democrats who created this price.
The drop in the price of a barrel of oil is killing the economies of several of our enemies around the world. Deutsche Bank reports our enemies in Venezuela needs $95.00 a barrel while our enemies in Russia and Saudi Arabia need $70.00 barrels.
Hugo Chavez is a phony blowhard. The Saudis have no way to hurt us with oil so cheap. They won’t do anything but wait and hope someone else will act. That someone else is Russia and we can bet on the Kremlin fermenting a “crisis” to drive the price of oil back up as high as they can make it.
If this means starting a war through proxies as they have done before, they will do it.
The Russian bear will devour the naïve Barack Hussein Obama and we will be the worse off for sending a phony “Chicago tough guy” out to confront Vladimir Putin, a real tough guy.

The Russians will be the ones to “test” Obama. Bank on it and bank on Obama failing their test.
