Re: Are we on the eve of a turn in the Great Game? (none / 0)
Just because Russia has a current account surplus does not mean that they have no concerns about the use of the current international settlements system as an instrument of economic warfare against them. If the US doesn't want to play nice there is another game with China and the other BRICS that Russia can play. That didn't use to be the case.
