Your a gob****e, Sputnik no different to the garbage party political tripe were force fed in the UK, EU and US. Not to mention everyone on here worried that moody's downgrades the company yet dismisses what they say about Russia. Syria is not an expensive exercise, it's no as Afghanistan. Libya, minimal involvement. In fact it could be said that the Russians get far more bang for their buck when it comes to meddling.
People forget a few things about Russia, it's got it's own currency the ruble which devalued significantly 3 weeks ago when markets crashed. Oil income is paid in dollars. On top of that, the Russians whether through fear or practice are a damn sight better at weathering a storm than us pussys in the west.
Russia ain't gonna blink, why should they. The pressures being put on SA. Win win for Russia, who will keep pumping while US and SA and rest of OPEC enter cartel practice soon enough to save the shale banksters
