Russya: Economics Equals State Problems

     Well, sports fans, seems that the Russyan economy is still slipping toward insolvency.  The Kremlin has just arrested the head of the economy.  Charges: taking bribes.  How shocking! Not in the fact of the matter but that they would accuse him of, of all things-taking bribes.   Why now?  Must be some recent reality hit the Onion Tops.  Could it be that somebody discovered that per capita income in the Ruble state is barely $9,000 per each?   Where does that leave the economic future of the largest country in the world?  In doubt as a viable entity, regardless of the repositioning of the "Baltic Fleet" to the Eastern Mediterranean sea.   Well, the attack on Aleppo is intensifying, and mr. Trump may not be ready to cozy up to Vlad over Ukraine and Crimea.
       What to do?   Not easy living in Russya.   Our representatives from Tahoma just returned from an inspection tour of European Russya and had some interesting facts to report:  the Moskova subway works well-fast, efficient, and on time.   The Volga River, the storied aquatic thoroughfare, is one of the most polluted in the world.   Hmmm.  Hasn't the Kremlin heard of environmental repair work?   Maybe it's not high on the Kremlin's list of fix-its.
Stay tuned, we'll give follow up to the case against the economic minister.
