    Musburger- What are your thoughts on the collapse of the ruble? Obviously, the steep drop in oil prices is crippling Russia. How long can they keep up their anti-West military aggression while their economy is in shambles? I believe I heard they have $400B in reserves to prop up the banking system but unless things change dramatically that could be exhausted in weeks. How long do you think Putin can continue to be the "Anti-West" hero while the population sinks into Cold War economic desperation?

    At the same time their currency is collapsing, they are embarking on a three trillion dollar defense expenditure for modernization of their military.
