So, I have dealt with Russians in certain situations, and I must say they have something of a different point of view on corporate ethics relative to us Americans. While we have been criticized recently for a certain amount of greed and capture by corporate interests, we are nothing compared to them.
Interestingly, recently Russia and China have been moving aggressively into former American strongholds in Africa. One is forced to wonder if this is in exchange for continuing to buy our Treasury bonds. This article is interesting in outlining how Russia continues to make headway into Africa. Additionally, it appears to be an unfortunate joke what they decided to name their new operating firm in Nigeria. I just envision a bunch of Russians doing vodka shots and asking each other what they should name their new company and then deciding on this one. Probably not the best idea guys:
