I tend to take the World bank a little more seriously than I would CNN, a corporation (Time Warner) that has a vested conflictual interest in keeping their customer base happy ( the MIC, big oil, wall street) and who propagandized (v=cheerled) the failure that was the Iraq war. Keep on betting on em though, you obviously swear they can't lead you wrong. And by the way the ruble was worth nothing when Putin came to power. Obviously Russia can bounce back again as they have done it starting in 2000 and after the crash of 2008. Keep wishing upon stars though and trusting CNN for your anti Russia rhetoric. Peace.
