And what is Russia different? The situation is even worse. People don't have the money so the domestic market. The whole economy runs on exports.
Who told you that the Russians don't have money to spend? The Russian middle-class is in a much better situation, when compared to their neighbors (China, Ukraine, Turkey.etc). It is true that exports play a very significant role. But it is more of a positive than a negative. Right now, the exports are increasing and the imports are declining.
or americans...
. I don't see the point of continuing anything in the usa... it's only a piece of land. and if the Americans could move to russia I don't see the problem. the CiC betrayed his oath, long ago... in fact he never really was able to do his pledge correctly... a failure (because it was by design, but still not cloacked enough).
