   The situation in Russia is even grimmer.

   - The doubling of the money supply is actually taking place in the context of a stagnant economy. ALL the economic growth that Russia reports is basically for arms that are being blown up and burned through in Ukraine.

   - Increased money supply only reflects a fraction of this. Russia has used banks to give bad, under-secured loans keeping Russian businesses afloat.

   - The Welfare Fund is worse than reported. Most of it can't be spent w/o angering China.
