Neither Russia nor China are all that strong. They both need to be careful in their actions or else their domestic situations will spiral out of control. And Europe, of course, is in trouble.

The US is in a great position. Good times. Good times.

The problem with the Russian economy is self-inflicted:

Simple math implies that a share of those accumulated surpluses worth more than 200% of Russia’s current national income has disappeared. Considering the steady annual returns that would likely have been earned on those investment, the economists put the total missing foreign wealth on the order 300% of Russia’s current national income, or more.

“there is as much financial wealth held by rich Russians abroad—in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Cyprus, and similar offshore centers—than held by the entire Russian population in Russia itself.”
