Stop looking for the Bond movie villains. The gamblers in the financial world and their contacts in the government world are proving to be more dangerous.

Depends on one's point of view. Without the Russians and Saudis buying the choicest homes in Aspen, the real estate market there could collapse.
I heard of one property where the owner dropped 2 mil off the asking last week.

OK - OK, it was 24 down to 22, but it's still 2 mil.

All things being relative, pros and cons aside, Putin is very very good for Russia, he is certain to make Russia a major player in the Global Oil Distribution scheme and that is very very big...

Putin is just a blink in Russian history but a very big Blink in a Transitional period for Russia...
