Hard Times in Russia

EIN News says, "Russians Losing Confidence in Putin Over Economy. All three of Russia's main polling agencies have registered a dip in the popularity of Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev in recent months as the economic crisis takes its toll on poll ratings that had remained strong for years. Twenty-six percent of 1,600 Russian polled in late November said they had confidence that "the current government could in the near future achieve positive changes" in the economy, down from 31 percent in October and 33 percent in September.

Russians are hurting economically and with the fall in popularity, their government will tend to be more pragmatic than ours. The Soviet regime previously collapsed because of national bankruptcy. They know the meaning of not making ends meet. I strongly doubt that they will be putting up any substantial money to those "Copenhagen Conference countries" who have their hand out on the climate warming scheme.

Are we going to be stupid enough to ignore Russian history and follow it down the road to national bankruptcy by throwing more money away?
