russia is far from upside down, just under the radar.
they are becoming a top 3 superpower once more. being the worlds second largest oil producing nation and interests in banking all over europe make them a very strong player globally, you just don't 'hear' about it all.
and i'm sure they are enjoying the anonymity of it all greatly.
russia is FAR from upside down.
lol
Russia is like Brazil and Mexico, they are upside down because they are horribly mismanaged. America is looking more and mor elike them everyday. If they did not have any oil they aould be in pure poverty, because they do not know how to build thenation as a whole.
In Russia you have a small number of people, 1/100th of 1% collecting 90% of the countries wealth.
Mexico is even worse, you have 50 families controling 90% of the countries wealth. Out of 110 million people in Mexico, half live in poverty-and they expert that poverty to the USA-and that causes out standard of living to go down.
Countries cannot survive when the top 1/100 of the top 1% steal all the money through public policy.
