Anyone paying attention to demographics and geopolitics knows that Russia is running out of time and military might. They need to shorten the gap in their country NOW if they want to be able to defend it in the future. This is something everyone knew was going to happen eventually and we are just lucky that the Russians are just inept now as they were in WWII... only with far fewer people. I'm a firm believer in Peter Ziehan's view on this particular issue. This is only the beginning, of course, and if the US pulls out even more from the Global Commons we'll see thing spiral faster out of control. A billion people may die in the next 20-30 years. If you're living in a country that doesn't have to import food (France and US) You're probably going to be alright.
