1) The Ruble:
2) Funny how many conservatives conveniently forget which President was in office (hint: not the black one) when Russia invaded Georgia in 2008. Fast forward to today, and Russia still occupies 20% of Georgia’s territory, flexing its muscles through the claimed annexation of strategic lands like Abkhazia, and making plans for a permanent naval base in Ochamchire.
3) Oh, and those same conservatives? They seem to have selective memory when it comes to Olympic locations. They forget that the President of the United States doesn't get to hand out Olympic bids. So, in July 2007, when Russia was awarded the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, guess who was in office? (Spoiler: still not the black one.) But sure, blame Obama, as usual.
