The World Financial Plague
Exactly 90 years ago Europe was mown down by the virus named Spaniard. The disease claimed more than 20 million lives. Today, once again, Europe is afflicted by an epidemic. The current dreadful disease infects the financial markets first but eventually it will start killing people.
Ever since these damn Phoenicians invented money, humans have been unable to find peace. However, at no time in fact did a financial crisis occur in the mobile world. It turns out that the greatest inventions of humankind in the past 20 years are those that in reality endanger mankind.
Remember the Great Crash in the twenties that was also referred to as a financial fire. People felt that the news of the crisis moving from one state to another in a matter of weeks was just a bug in the telegraph office. Today, however, the crisis travels at the speed of light. At such a rate that even the Hundred Years War would have lasted less than two weeks; Black Tuesday would be Black Tuesday Morning. Thus, it is the mobility that is the problem.
Only a few know that the deadly plague epidemic did not reach three European countries namely Russia, Lithuania and Poland. However, nowadays, such miracles dont happen. Putins attempt to persuade Alexander Lukashenko, the President of Belarus, to switch from the U.S. dollar to the Ruble is just as effective as burning Jews at the Marketplace of Dresden at the order of Marcgrave who believed that by doing this he could stop the plague from spreading. This shows that, at difficult times people tend to act stupidly but openly.
At any rate, Russia is actually quite lucky. The Russian soap bubble of her oil reserves didnt pop, but simply disappeared behind the world financial crisis. Thats a good way to die off. After all, if it were to remain in the medias spotlight, the Russian government would have to invent stories about saboteurs destroying goods.
100 million U.S. dollars is a lot of money if taken from Abramovich and given to some Abramov. However, this sum is worth nothing if one were to use it against the American financial plague. Then again, this money probably didnt even exist to begin with, since the Russian currency fell along with those of other countries. After all, the GDP isnt expressed in the South Korean won or the Mongolian tögrög but in the U.S. dollar. This means that when everything began to melt, Russian resources also began to melt.
Even though it is already the 21st century, the three major Russian questions What to do?, Who is to blame? and Where did the circus go? remain extremely relevant. No-one knows the answer to the first question and everyone knows the answer to the second. And as to the circus Well, we could discuss it
