.  Russia is paying the price of the very short sight vision of Putin , allowing its economic minister KUDRIN to first Westernisize the Russian market thinking AMericans were going to allow their Europeans economies to fully integrate with Russia ,something that could threaten the very existence of NATO without turning the world in wars first.. and creating revolutions at their borders. It was not like there was no signs already? Did anyone forget It was a US coup whatremoved Georgia Pro Russian president ,replacing him for a PRO US one? Or how in Ukraine was as early as the 0,000s under a major NGO attack by US proxies ,creating a CIA-ultra nationalism anti RUssia movement? Yakunovych many forget was overthrow not one but TWO TIMES!!! already.
