After all, the US sent over our kleptocrats to Russia to help with the conversion of public assets to private interests. And we're in the Ukraine, busily making sure that Ukraine assets benefit US interests.

So, your deep 'concern' over those poor former Russian countries and the Russians impoverished by Putin is quite touching and quite phony. What you said about Putin, the Ukraine economy, and the Russian people is practically word salad. Your words are a lot of deliberate contrivances to justify the US continued aggression against Russia, the continued NATO expansion to Russia's borders, and the overthrow of Russia, including the destruction of its people and the US takeover of Russia.
