Anybody thinking the current refugee crisis is bad should think about what will happen when Russia becomes engulfed in civil war.
@we_pf Yes. Sooner or later Russia runs out of cash and tensions will grow. Three sides: Putin et al - Nationalists - Muslims.

@andersostlund Americans told me about this scenario first time in 1998 :-( -
@we_pf From what I know about 1998 I think it was close to happening then. Pressure will be harder this time though. -
@andersostlund at the moment all the "action" seems to happen in Syria :-(( -
@we_pf Syria will eventually destabilise Russia itself I think, unless Russia pulls out very soon but that is not likely. -
@andersostlund you think without Russia there would be peace in Syria (Iraq, etc.)? I don't -
@we_pf That wasn't my point. My point was the war in Syria will cost Russia so much it destabilises Russia itself. Money, money. -
@andersostlund don't think so; look at Turkey! Erdogan still has to make his mind up whether he is in Western or Russian camp -
@we_pf That was also not related to my point. War cost and Russia cannot afford it. - 1 more reply
