Ukraine Defaults on $3 Billion Bond to Russia

randomly including other leaders

This shows how uneducated you are on Russian politics but look I can teach you little boy, Mevedev was never in charge he never held any power. Putin was Prime Minister during Medvedev's Presidency he gave the real orders and made the big decisions. http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/the-puppet-president-medvedev-s-betrayal-of-russian-democracy-a-789767.html

Also did I ever, ever refer to Putin as being President during that time period ? I said we should compare the times when they were in power and if you don't think Putin was in power back then then you don't understand Russian politics.

So it still stands and look if you want to exclude the period when Medvedev was President and take the economic records of when they were both President at the same time with the same economic conditions then we can do that we'll give him the whole of 2012 to give him an advantage plus 2013, 2014 and 2015 that's 4 years enough to judge both men. I think we can both agree that 4 years is good enough for a comparison. I assumed growth would be -3.8 for Russia and plus 2.2 % for the United States which is what economists predict the final number will be estimating what the fourth quarter will be and obviously with the numbers we already have for the other quarters.

Russia 2012-2015: .375 % average annualized growth

United States 2012-2015: 2.275 % average annualized growth.

Just admit it you where wrong. It takes a bigger man to do that than whatever the fuck you've been doing. Putin wasn't president from 2009-2012 stop trying to say he was.

If I've been childish it's because I had to go down to your level, you've done no research whatsoever you make baseless claims and your in over your head. You kept repeatedly asking me for information that you could get yourself and when you got it and it turned out to not be what you wanted you were red in the ass, you ignored me when I proved America has more freedom than Russia and then you went on a victory lap when you figured out Putin wasn't President but was in power from 2008-2012, even though I never said Putin was the President I just said he was in power which is undeniable.
