According to the US gov’t, the US 2013 balance of trade with Russia was -15,797.5 million dollars.
We haven’t had a positive trade balance with Russia since 1993. We need Russian stuff more than they need our stuff. Obama’s strategy here should work out really well, like everything else.
Russia only exports energy and women. They really don’t make anything else we want.
“They really don’t make anything else we want.”
I dunno...I could go for a full-length Sable coat with matching hat and muff; it’s cold up here! ;)
