The worse the Russian economy gets, the more autocratic and belligerent Putin will become. It's the only way he can hold onto his own power and the influence of his oligarch friends.

And just last week he issued this absurd list of demands to the US to continue the plutonium deal. His belligerence is ratcheting up in a hurry.

Want to know who's mad? The families moving out of the 'west' and forced to go back to Moscow.

This sort of thing has been worrying me for the last few years. I really didn't anticipate Putin going old line Soviet this far this fast. The scary thing with Putin is that during the days of the USSR there were, shockingly enough, more checks on the power of the Premier than there are on his power now. Russia worries me, I am getting concerned that Syria is the next Sarajevo as to who the next Franz Ferdinand is, who knows?

Very true. I am afraid this is going to get very sticky.

More problems. This is not looking good.
