Russian rearmament & the euro

Speaking of the Cold War... Russia wants to increase it's nuclear arms stock.

And another interesting article about the euro's stability in the global recession.

Enjoy!

Interesting articles! Russia under Putin (version 1.0 AND 2.0!) has definitely swung back towards brinksmanship. We were lucky under Gorbachev and Yeltsin to have leaders willing to listen to reason. Putin is a strong leader, and a much smarter one than some of the Cold War Premieres, but he is quite shrewd as well! He recently rewrote the Russian constitution, making his new job more powerful than his old job to perpetuate his rule! They are really flexing their muscle right now...

I am either too dumb or just don't understand economics to know how or why certain currencies do well while others struggle. Yarp.
