My advice to Vlad would be ; Become a Rent Collector ; Lease on a Permanent Basis the East to Japan the West to Germany and the South to Canada then Vlad & Co can sit back and watch the greatest surge the world has ever seen .

the solution to this problem is really quite simple, a century ago before the communazi USSR, Russia was considered to be a part of Europe.

Why are they not offering Putin the opportunity to join both NATO & the EU?

China has already been publicly claiming for decades, ALL of the former Empire of Ghenghis Khan as historically, legitimately, a Chinese Empire.

Both Russia and China are laughing at how the West has been destroyed by its' own imperialistic corruption.It is the debt based monetary creation system in which increases in productivity and inflation gets expressed as debt by the private banksters.Hence in the West,the more growth we have,the more debt we suffer.

China supplies 80% of new money via Govt banks either debt free via infrastructure or as a tax credit via profits,ie loaning it out to stupid Australians, who could have just got the RBA to create $40 billion in their computers,instead of Chinese computers.

How stupid are we?

As stupid as you in persisting in the opinion that a government power to print money is necessary in line with productivity and population growth, when you cannot justify it, nor defend it from my refutation proving the idea is flatly incorrect?

As stupid as you in thinking that the economic crises caused by government delegating to private banks a power to print money or lower interest rates, would be any lesser or any different if instead they delegated the same power to government banks?
