Siluanov also said the country would run a budget deficit of more than 3 percent next year if the oil price did not rise.

  1. This article is actually making sense. Russia is a troll. I have not seen a better description. It is perfect because it is true: those who see it as offering an alternative to the US Empire are deluded, as Russia offers nothing but a bunch of headaches - a typical troll that has no positive arguments but just... trolls
