Dangerous Times in Russia?

Steep declines in oil, rubble are plaguing Russia. A cornered bear is very dangerous.

The prediction is that that Putin will want to take attention off his economy and start something somewhere else. Sanctions are hurting the economy of Russia and few see Putin as backing down.

Russia began the year as the eighth strongest economy in the world. It's not that way today. Today the ruble is now about 50 percent of its value. That puts it roughly on par with Mexico and Indonesia.
