Maybe they are trying to convince their peoples that the inevitable worsening of the economies of their countries is not the consequence of the next turn of the world financial crisis which they cannot cope with, but fault of Russia, a traditional scarecrow for the Westerners and let Russia keep Crimea as a moral compensation?

Ой, не смешите мои тапочки! Путин правит по указке Обамы? А до Обамы? А что будет после Обамы? Обаме чуть больше друх лет осталось.
Честно говоря, я политикой вообще не интересуюсь и в ней не разбираюсь. Важно, как политика отражается на жизни людей. От разных резких перемен часто не приходится ждать хорошего.

Все только начинается, но спасибо за приглашение.
