But make no mistake about it -- deflating Russia financially and economically will require a completely united front by the U.S. and Europe. Oh.
Then it won't happen.
To: Kaslin
The way you deflate Russia is the same way you deflate the Persian gulf state Iran and Al Qaeda.
Kill the price of energy.

His central bank just spent $50 billion to defend a sinking ruble Putin's personal fortune may exceed that.

This is the kind of Crisis that should have been resolved through Good Diplomacy before it even happened.
Step one of that Diplomacy is not have a Pill Pedaling Homo President working against the U.S.A's best interests.
We should have (and still should) do what Sarah Palin said and that is Drill our our own Fossil Fuels and Natural Gas. That will help undercut the Russian's Enormous Profits they are getting.
There is no downside to drilling for natural gas. None! This is a prime opportunity to sell gas to Europe, we get much needed money, jobs and infrastructure, they get more diversified source of Natural Gas. Everyone wins!

Putin will not allow Russia to be taken over via debt based currency. That makes him the enemy of the global oligarchs who rule America and the entire West.

It’s not even about price, it’s about independence, it’s the same towards Saudi Arabia. I don’t want to be dependent on Arabs.

The biggest winner in this fight is China (monkey on rock watching two lions fight). If Russia wins, it forces US to pivot forces from Asia to Europe. If Russia loses, it forces her to be closer to China. Note the Chinese response to Ukraine Russian crisis is very neutral. India was slightly leans to the Russians then Chinese remark. China does not want a strong aggressive Russia on her borders either. Both have been invaded by each other (Mongols to Russia; Czarist annexation of Manchurian Amur region for Siberian Railroad and warm Pacific port of Vladivostok). Russia cannot fight the combined central banks of EU/US/Japan.

Oh, he may have 50 billion dollars? But I’ve been told again and again that he’s a pure, God-fearing Christian, acetic, and simple Russian nationalist. How can he be personally so rich in a country where the average per capita income is $18,000 per year?

Thinking that economic sanctions will bring Putin’s Russia to heel is so unaware of the lack of success of economic sanctions against much smaller, more vulverable countries in the past: Iraq, Iran, Serbia, Syria, North Korea, South Africa, and others.
The only reason they “worked” in Serbia is because they finally went to a bombing campaign, and THAT’S not economic sanctions.
Saddam Hussein’s smart enough to get around them, but Russia isn’t?
Our leaders are engaging in pure public relations stunts. They’ve got to know better.
