You're such a alleged "smart guy", TJ. (where have I heard that before?)

Why don't you do some basic research such as avg. income and the buying power of the ruble? The whole Russian economy is equivalent to one state, (California) and it's been in freefall since Obama and Merkel slapped Putin with a slew of sanctions for invading the Ukraine. The Saudi's are strangling the Rus pigs of any real income from their oil business.

For someone who's allegedly "left", you sure have a strange affinity for oligarchs like Putin and that wannabe oligarch Donny Trump, Joad.

Trump will suck up to the corrupt Russian Aryan and the corrupt Russian Aryan will play him like a fiddle.

Having no desire to wind up a broken down Booze Hound like yourself, I very rarely partake of strong drink.

My lifestyle revolves around clean living and plenty of exercise.

That's why, although pushing 70, I have a better bod than most 40 year olds.
