Editor’s note: Here is the real cost of George W Bush’s neo-Cold War policies. The US dollar has fallen 20 percent against the rouble since he took office, and it has suffered as badly (or worse, as in the case of the Canadian dollar) against other currencies. This does put US propaganda about Russia being a Third World economy in a new light, doesn’t it?
