"Alas for the gamblers of America: they will tax themselves to keep the casino in operation, but it will not profit them. Where, oh where, is America's Vladimir Putin, who will drive out the oligarchs who have stolen the country's treasure and debased its currency?"

Putin is taking from some, not all, oligarchs and giving some to other oligarchs who kiss his butt and keeping most for the government. I hate to say it, but I'm putting faith in Congress to at least keep its constitutional powers/turf and maintain some semblance of our constitutional separation of powers. The power in Russia is in one person and will stay there as long as Putin is alive. The outcome may not be great, but we'll recover at some point. I think.
