The current Russian leadership seems to be in a process of “nationalizing” private sectors that were jumpstarted through western liquidity.

Plus the Russians themselves have sh*tpots of liquidity right now – what they lack is the technology and expertise to invest it usefully.

Which is why I support the enhanced military defensive support posture of the “near abroad” Baltic states through NATO or some other entity. No U.S. strategic interest in Georgia?

If Plan A is rejected, move along to Plan B.
