Actually Wes, since the economy is so bad I don't think they can even put up anything we have for collateral to borrow from China. Russia can sustain itself without the rest of the world but would have to cut off a lot of their trade and other things. Even Britain is suffering from huge losses in business ventures they have here in this country. I believe that right now, Russia is in the best shape of any country and even they are hurting some.
