I think its about western banks wanting title to future tax revenue (rather than Russian banks). The inconvenient reality to such imperialism is that sometimes civilians are already there. Previously whole nations were butchered (Armenia, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Paraguay...all lost 50+% of their citizens), but now with the interwebs it doesn't really work anymore.

Press on Patrick! Its hard for us to realize that our desires for consistent relative wealth means a country needs to be digested every year. Maybe one day we'll stop, I don't know.
