[armidons]

[OdriHepbern]

Moscow is a very reach sity. this is a very clean and beautiful city we have the most beautifull metro underground if i am not mastake) it is wery expensive i think. but in 100 mils from moscow it is not so good I can feel krizis by myself on the job.

We have many problems with бюрократизм and коррупция but a can see that mr. Putin does our country better.sorry for my english i' have never learn it at all

[Anglichanen]

Nice Aston Martins!!!!!

[chelle099]

all I can say is WOW!

Not because of the amount of stuff they accumulate through material wealth but I wow at the FACT that they seem to be so unconcerned about how this affects the everyday man/common person....they are still very elite in their thinking...bling bling, you know? While there are hundreds upon thousands of people who simply can't eat daily and I don't mean in SubSaharaian Africa either.

This is worldwide and the selfishness doesn't bother some I guess.

[x1600meterman]

Most rich ppl dont care about poor folks.

[lediep89]

crisis everywhere

and U know why?? that's fucking U$S

[MossadAgentWatching]

In fact Russian billionaires are so dumb almost as dumb as the Arab ones , someday the oil will be over and both will be crying blood tears ....

[NeMetov]

In your dreams

[mightyali]

arab billionaires are dumb?? think again and think about dubai and all other middle eastern countries

[MossadAgentWatching]

what's smart about Dubai ...a city carbon copied from the American model and implanted in the middle of the desert , buildings that have no real function except that of real estate speculation , a construction business based on slavery work of the Indians and import material from the nails to the brick ...If think that's smart then do not waste my time replying to your dumb responses...

[TorresD]

How can billionares be "so dumb"?

They had to have some smarts to make that money.

[MossadAgentWatching]

That's all easy money oil money coming out of thin air without any effort ...that what happened to the Arabs and is happening to the Russian oligarchy , easy money comes fast and goes faster and next they are all broke

[mightyali]

mossad fag you are just fucking jealous the land your fucking occupied does not have oil

[Rundstedt1]

Yes, but its not only the Russians. Capitalism everywhere it exists fosters such greed and aberrance, while most of the people struggle.

[Killazer]

Energy and resources are real power, the USs financial dreamland is ending.

[Mxyzptlk562]

They are a commodity. If demand is up then times are good. When demand is down and supplies are plentiful, well then it is like what you are seeing here.

Alternative energy is where the real power in the future will be. No one has capitalized on that goldmine yet.

[Killazer]

Energy is not just a commodity- energy is the currency of the future. Natural gas and nuclear power will be the corner stone of the future not wind or solar. Russia has a great deal of both.

[Mxyzptlk562]

I know you are saying that on faith. And don't wish Russia bad as you wish for the USA. I am just saying that relying too much on those commodities - which they really are because the price on them will fluctuate - they will be at risk to changes in the market and new technologies.

Nuclear power is not unique to Russia by the way.

[Killazer]

Nah im just talking facts.

[Mxyzptlk562]

So that fact is right now those who made a killing on over speculation on oil prices are now falling back to reality. That is a cold hard fact of the world oil commodity market.

[Killazer]

Its true oil prices were too high but they will have to settle around 70 dollars in reality because China and India with 2.5+ billion populations together are growing extremelly quickly and energy demand is still high. 30 dollars/barrel will only lead to a massive shortage later and a huge spike in oil probably 200+ dollar/barrel.

[Mxyzptlk562]

It may still go even lower before it goes back up. The thing is extremely high oil prices only ends up hurting the oil producers in the end, because people's ability to pay for skyrocketing fuel prices has its breaking point where demand will go down. Plus it only accelerates the push for alternative fuel sources - which is going to come some day.

[Killazer]

I think energy prices will go through the roof in a few years from now and things will recover quickly. Russia will still probably grow around 2-5% in GDP meanwhile.

The lower energy prices go now the higher they will be when they go back up in the future. The 'west' is just shooting itself in the head.

[betabenja]

spelling is wrong in millionaires

[abarzilai664]

Russia is sinking thanks to the drop in Oil prices and without oil money flowing in the state will be hard pressed to keep the patronage wells running thus making it hard to buy loyalty.

[takerdust]

Al Gore is a joke

[biggerflexible]

Door-to-door debt collection is awesome.

[sugarpuddin88]

MONEY doesn't just disappear in a crisis

Rather it goes from one persons hands to another persons hands

[biggerflexible]

you dumb bastard.

[sugarpuddin88]

Ok smart guy

Where DOES the money go?

[biggerflexible]

IN your pockets!

[takerdust]

wrong

[sugarpuddin88]

taker

Where then does the money go?

[GermaineIlya]

Someone will have to buy this extra money out or there will be a massive inflation. Did I understand correctly?

[luciodelgado]

Like the women said in the interview: who cares, there is always soemthing to buy, Hummmm!
