6. I keep hearing that Russia is bankrupt here on DU.

But not much anywhere else. Read an article today that said the opposite.

Russia is bankrupt sounds nice, but doesn't mean it is. Their sales of arms, oil, minerals, industry, crops, etc. is still going on strong to non-aligned western nations. They may actually be enjoying the cheaper prices.

Of course, Russia going bankrupt any day now has been stated by a few western media sites for a few years now, at some point they might be right?
