That's true. They were bankrupt in 1990 and raped by the IMF in the decade that followed. What kind of wealth would you like them to have at this stage of their recovery. We have 150 years of contentious peace in our land to explain our high level of social consciousness. Russia had their while ruing class exterminated within that time-frame so, again, what level should they be at. When digging coal in the 20th Century was done at 17th Century regulations. Should they have abandoned coal production as it was nit up to the standards of the ones who have had 300 years to develop the best ways to mine it. Russia made the changes in 30 years while the west took the full 300 years to make the same changes.
Well, you should have said that at the beginning, . . . just kidding. You probably also want to claim not to be a loco fuktard, not gonna fly today pal.
Their first mistake was asking their keepers for help and expecting they would actually be give something of value for a few $100M they get charged each year for the fake help.
$25,000 is the poverty line, how many poor people live in Canada? The CIA fact-book points to 9.4% and 13.% below a line that classifies them as 'poor'. I would say you would need just about the whole $50K to live in a city in Canada and almost nothing in a remote village in Russia as longs as potato wine was you main firm of entertainment. At least you make it yourself so it is high quality rather than snake-oil
You need to use NATO's budget, . . . retard.
What part of the $21T in the hole are you going to use to support that claim. Take the Cold War cost of $5T as stolen money and that is the scope of the operation is that you cannot see.
Do you have a list that starts at 1990? That would be an interesting read.
Why not just make the poor as well?? Your version falls apart when you look at their military hardware that is better used to keep people out rather than invasion and forced indoctrination is a season ot two while shipping the grain and other raw materials.
Russian gas going to China would leave the EU in the cold unless they ink a deal with Iran for NG, a lot of NG.
More crow for you coming up when we turn out to be more evil than Russia has ever been, invaded or not.

As for your noise about the COLD WAR...................................
if Russians do not like the cost then they SHOULD NOT HAVE STARTED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In 1946- Britain and United States could have EMASCULATED Russia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The mere threat of half a dozen nuclear weapons delivered to Soviet cities would have put the Red Army into head long RETREAT OUT of the Warsaw Pact nations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In 1946 ONLY the west had nuclear weapons...........................................
the Soviets DID NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Russia could have been carved up like a Christmas Turkey...................................
and it would have saved MILLIONS OF PEOPLE from being murdered in the Gulags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But oh dear.....................................
threatening the VILE Soviets that way would not be sporting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The western powers WANT TO PLAY NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So the Russians obtained the formula for making atomic bombs from a CANADIAN USEFUL IDIOT who stabbed the west in the back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the Russians armed themselves and began seeking ways to DESTROY the west......................
without the bother of having Moscow destroyed in a retaliatory strike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
