[QUOTE="Larry Gamble, post: 806858, member: 60985"] Russia is revived now that it isn't broke. The Reagan era saw the Russians getting hurt by lagging world economy, draught, failing communist system and uncontrolled spending to keep up with USA in the superpower race. That led to their collapse in 1989. Our tax and spend politicos would do well to learn from that mistake before they kill the goose that's been laying all the golden eggs with burdensome taxation and now fees. Russia has plenty of petroleum reserves and are leveraging that to become an economic powerhouse. Do some searching for the gov't backed company Gasprom. You'll be amazed at what they are doing and positioning themselves to control. IMHO, the next superpower race is not going to be primarily military like the cold war. It's going to be economic superpowers who control the world and because they have the gold, they will have the military forces to protect and project their ideals. Because we are shipping too many skilled jobs overseas, the USA is going to be at a disadvantage if we don't turn that around. [/QUOTE]
