Dude Bryan, no one cares about the Balkans, but China would care about the opportunity to screw over the US.
Also I think I recall reading somewhere that Moscow is the world's most expensive place to live.

There's money in Moscow, but Russia's economy is tremendously top heavy and one dimensional. They have wealth from oil but it isn't trickling down very well and the buying power over there is still pretty low once you hit what passes for the middle class, which is problematic because it makes developing the kind of service industries that employ so many people here in the States and Western Europe difficult.

Not until they have a viable economic substitute, which they don't. There is no state with the population, the buying power, and the appetite for non-essential goods like the United States, and there's nobody even really close.

Never forget one thing about the ol' U.S. of A: We're the fuckers who made Ron Popeil a rich man. You bet your ass we'll buy your shit.

I wouldn't worry too much about it at this point. It can signal big problems, but it can also just be an act of protest to show how serious the country is about the issue.

You are aware, mate, that this is still the part of the world where the Greeks hate Macedonia because they call their country "Macedonia", right?
