The economy of Russia is struggling; the Russians are making overtures to the Cubans and the Venezuelans. The Ukrainian government just dissolved and is likely to shift towards a more pro Russian stance. Germany has made its voice heard in NATO and will more likely then not refuse to push forward on NATO membership for both the Ukraine and Georgia (which may or may not be a good thing). The Russians are attempting to project power with there navy by sending of their most powerful Nuclear Powered Destroyer (which I believe is called Peter the Great) on a tour of the Mediterranean and South America. Putin continues to consolidate the banking industry and economy as a whole in fewer and fewer hands. Russia is becoming a lender of last resort for at least one EU member (Iceland) as the EU proves yet again that it is little more then a useless bureaucratic mess. These are all events and issues currently unfolding, I would love to see some more serious discussion.
