He is the 2nd largest exporter of Crude oil in the world. I doubt they are effected much by Sanctions. Russia is a very large country with a lot of energy and natural resources.


I find it funny that you say that their economy is in the Tank. Our Country is 20 trillion in debt. Russia stands at 9 billion... you tell us who is better off in the future?

Obama will trash everything on his way out like a dissatisfied worker on the way out the door after being fired, taking down display racks and throwing merchandise in the isles then slamming the door behind him. Just making it a bit harder for the next guy on his way in to replace him.

That's the reason nobody is taking this seriously. It's an obvious meltdown. What happen to Mrs. Obamas advice? "When they go low, we go high." Looks like Putin paid attention. lol

This does make us look bad.

I would also compare it so someone foreclosing on their home . They are going to trash the place so the new owners will have a harder time fixing it up

So which is it, they're powerless against the US or they were able to determine who was elected president? The left can't have it both ways.

Indeed.

Putin has made Obama look like a little poodle. i.e. lots of yapping

You know there's a thing going on right now called the "Russian Financial Crisis" that's a direct result of the ruble dropping from the sanctions right?

I'm just confused how you don't think sanctions hitting their biggest export -- oil -- is not going to hurt their economy. Their biggest export is oil. They have sanctions on their oil industry. Do you really need me to walk you through how that leads to hurting Mother Russia's pocketbook, comrade?

Lol... lots of yapping that's led to Russia's economy crashing, having to commit ground troops in the ME to prop up his last puppet leader (actually Trump is being primped to join that list...), and sitting on the sidelines while the rest of the world decides their fate... How can Obama compete with that kind of leadership...
