  1. After a year of rampant Russophobia in the pages of The Spectator, it seems that there's a bit of an under-the-covers attempt to wake up to reality while saving face. However, even now, Owen Matthews sneers at the Russian economy as being insignificant in terms of its GDP. What sets the Russian economy apart from all of those in the West, is that it is running a surplus. That quaint old habit of spending less than you earn, has its merits. The Western economies are increasingly bankrupt and only survive, courtesy of the scam being run between their respective treasuries and central banks whereby they simply hit the keyboard to produce out of thin air, new 'money' for their supine populations to buy more stuff. This mis-match is the real war. An increasing number of countries (and Russia is merely the one being 'focused-on' right now) have had enough of being expected to stump up so that the profligate West can carry on holding all the goodies. Russia's stand is against an arrogant, effete and vainglorious band of thieves. This is a bigger war than any we have known, yet the flaccid reporters of the West just cannot think outside their comfort zone of those other times of "starting off weak, then getting stronger to finally come through". Not this time. The West is putting itself to sleep as painlessly as possible.
