As there may be some interest hereI going to recommend this book. " THE AGE OF TURBULENCE " Alan Greenspan....He has great insight into Putin 1998 - 2008 and was present to many meetings (including the first one in NYC ) fall 1991 with Boris Yelsen...when everything fell apart... With the macro mess playing out in front of us, you just may gleen an insight for forming your own opinion into what's going and according to this Fed Chairman, you will find a truth that will not be present in these early days of war in Europe...Alan goes forward into what this situation may be with the recent frendship with Russia/China..Many books will be written about what's happening right now, but, not prewar Greenspan.
