| #7 Yes, Mr G I can see your belief in this. I really don't disagree but I don't see China being all that determined butting heads with Russia. Greed seems to be their true quest in my opinion. When they have the chance the Chinese leave their country and look for areas with fewer Chinese because they are so competitive. Russia is willing to lead and mix it up. China seems to want to work deals to get what they want. China has few or no friends on its borders. |

| #6 Ref #5: Exactly! Flood Europe with cheap oil and natural gas, coal, watch Vlad's reaction. Of course the Champ would never undertake such a strategy. It might put the United States into a position of power and influence once again. |

| #5 Russia sells a lot of oil and natural gas. Disrupting that might spike prices to their benefit. |

| #4 The biggest problem for Russia is China. The second biggest USA under tranzi management. Iran, given that Russians are not into nation building anymore, is not a problem---except, maybe, in logistics. |

| #3 In my opinion Mr. G. The biggest problem for Russia is Iran. Containment is the ultimate goal. I look for future deals with India,Saudi,Egypt as well as Israel. The EU of Asia and Arab world. My belief Latin America would jump at the chance to join. There however China sees their pot of gold. The young people of Iran want to move ahead into the future, music the Arts and so on. The yoke of leadership has been borne too long. Like those who are black here. The Race or Religion is used whenever it is to their advantage. |

| #1 I think Vlad would love to go into Iraq just to taunt the One. of course, he would kick the crap out of ISIS and maybe having some adult leadership running the show against ISIS is not a bad idea. I know it hurts our self esteem but right now after all of the gutting and sissifying of our military, the Russians are the only ones with the stomach and the tools to do the right thing...ruthlessly. |
