There is no neutrality available to the West. It is for or against it. In other words what we have here is the honest population of Russia hiding their money from their oppressors who use the mechanisms of law making to steal from the Russian people to the point of inflicting poverty malnutrition and death. How else could the Communist Soviet Union have accomplished the protection of the party members from the disintegration of Russia. It had to put the parties savings outside the country.
Success is almost complete.
The nomenklatura of Russia is in far better shape financially then in 1989 and it should be even easier to manage the population from their impoverished and weakened condition. A reduced military threat and probably a reduction in nuclear arms whether that be with or without treaty. A significant export market to the Czars company store. A place to keep American and other Western tobacco interests alive. A place to launder Western taxpayers money.
