I'm afraid I did.

Btw, that's my coat you theiving basket!

I know it's not mine, there way too much money in the wallet

I felt I was making a mistake by not re-using "genetic" word, it seemed a bit wrong, so was "generic"

"By nature" would have sufficed Alex

Good luck with the SKA project by the way. Looking good mate

Indeed. Russians in general lack long term strategic thinking and do not understand consequences of decisions they make until it's too late.

To be fair to AtW he is right:

and quite frankly it serves the Russians right if no one wants to do business with them after what they have been up to.

This shows how incompetent he really is both in his predictions and also in his actions - watch that space for more and remember 1998.

Nicky G almost certainly predicted this.

AtW is on your ignore list.

Here rests the case for the prosecution m'lud!

Note "in general". There are always exceptions (rare as they are).

Seems to be a genetic Russian trait.

For a start, real your neck back in.

Secondly, Putin has advisors, they help him make the decisions.

His choice of advisors is his responsibility. Actually (since you don't follow Russian affairs) his Govt advisors were talking about crisis and he was just refusing to listen to them.

The whole of the worlds markets are in turmoil at the moment.

Yes but some countries are more so than others.

Look at RTS index: http://stock.rbc.ru/demo/rts.1/daily/RTSI.rus.shtml

Did Dow drop as much in the same time? No. NASDAQ? No.

Russian stock bubble is imploding with the dropping price of oil - soon Mr Putin will have to show if he has got real skills of operating under strong financial pressure, I am looking forward to his no-doubt inventive economic moves - selective Govt support during that period would be good indication shares of which companies he and his mates personally own
