Russia Story

 In the last day or two....it's been three weeks since anyone in Russia has seen Elvira Nabiullina (the head of Russia's central bank).

Yeah, it's a big deal.

Scenarios?  One.....she has a health emergency. Another that she was removed from power by Putin. Another.....that she quietly walked away.  Another.....she's dead from some heart-attack.  Finally.....some suggest  that some secret group...like the CIA....helped her to leave.

Her missing....equals a major problem for Putin? For the most part of the past four years.....she kept the banking system in Russia 'alive'.  On a scoring of one to ten for competency....most folks gave her a '8' or '9'.

How long can the 'system' survive without her showing her face or having a  replacement?  I might go and suggest six months.  At some point....Putin needs a face to 'pin' hopes upon.

If she just left Russia?  I would wager that the US would easily entertain her with some quiet Virginia setting.

If she'd been fired by Putin?   Well....he'd have to announce a new figure (sooner or later).  

Just another one of those funny things which don't make sense. 

(Course....maybe the aliens came for her.....like the 12 Americans)
