I do not subscribe to IBD, therefore your link did not allow me to read the entire story. No, I don't think the US or anyone else can "force" sound financial strategies on Russia or any other country. They need to be "sick and tired of being sick and tired" and surrender to the fact that their ways don't work. In that scenario, they become teachable and the way to financial health becomes possible....not easy, just possible. Without the desire to change, attempts to "force" the change then become resented and you become the target for venting all the frustration and anger that these tense monetary collapse situations foster. The question, for me then becomes, "are they there yet?"....sadly, I don't think so. But thankfully, it is not my responsibilty to make that call.
