WINDS OF CHANGE


BANZAI7 MOSCOW BUREAU--Vice President Joe Biden is optimistic that Russia will warm to the West, given that its economy is "withering," he said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.

"Russia has to make some very difficult, calculated decisions," Biden said. "They have a shrinking population base, they have a withering economy, they have a banking sector and structure that is not likely to be able to withstand the next 15 years, they're in a situation where the world is changing before them and they're clinging to something in the past that is not sustainable."


Russian President Vladimir Putin is also gratified that the USA has already warmed to the East, given that its "withering" economy has survived thanks to bailout style socialism, he said in an interview with Banzai7 News.

"America has to make some very difficult, calculated decisions," Putin said. "They have an exploding population of boomer retirees, they have a withering economy, they have a banking sector and structure that is not likely to be able to withstand the next 15 years, they're in a situation where the world is changing before them and they're clinging to something in the past that is not sustainable."
