  Would you trust anything that came out of Putin's mouth? An expression containing the words 'Paranoid' and 'Delusion' springs to mind in connection to Putin.
  
  Apart from the fact that the US owes money to China, so if anything it would be China which would be in the position to take over economies, not the 'West'

  Let's be honest, this was only leaked on the say so of Putin also. Which editor of a Russian newspaper would ever dare to print anything like this, without consent of Putin's mob.

  I've thought this for a long time now, but it falls on deaf ears.
  
  In related news, Davos 2013: Western economies are not for us, say developing nations.
  

  Western leaders will be told their economic model has failed when they gather this week for the annual World Economic Forum in Davos.

  Less than 10% of US national debt is owed to China.

  In a leaked doccument the russian president has proclaimed the world to be in a state of economic war, a war that he acknowledges Russia can not win. He also accuses the west of trapping nations in debt traps with a view acting in the same way as bailiffs and taking over their countries when these nations can't pay the debt. He also warns that the economic war could escalate into a full scale possibly global military conflict. http://english.ruvr.ru/2013_01_18/The-world-is-in-a-state-of-financial-war-Russian-presidential-advisor/

  
  The theory certainly fits the evidence. There are lots of countries, including our own, that are being limited in how they can recover from this depression by international bodies and rating agencies. It's certainly not a case of the west trapping just non-western states in this trap, it's being used everywhere. Debt as terrorism.

  A system based on lies, corruption, deceit, false accounting and misinformation MP's and big business mogals take more than their allowed expences, receive 'back -handers' and pay to have their business 'get a contract' even though it costs two or three times as much as their compeditors quote, (sounds like Rome just before it burned up in the atmosphere and fell into obscurity) this nation (in its present moral state) doesn't deserve to recover.

  Yes, but the war isn't between countries, not really. That's why no-ones winning. Ask the people in them.
