Default Re: Oil money come to sweet Russia!

jpv,

Most of your "declaration of ineptness" of Russia is based on American model of improving living standards.

You seem to have missed the point of the thread. In other words look at oil prices. The higher the price of oil goes the easier it is to build things like infrastructure and to import goods necessary to improve Russian life.

Sure, the thread is somewhat humoristic but so was Putin since obviously his "goal" is based on oil prices rising to $200 per barrel and higher. If you have billions of $$$ to spend it is not so hard to improve many things in the country.

People can be lazy and bureacratic but with so much money and good pay for workers they can do wonders.

Finally, jpv, where you live is kind of like New Orleans in America, not the model of Russia by any means. The weather there is not very favorable either.
