What do you think of Russia’s rising status as a world power?

Posted by admin on September 20th, 2009 and filed under oil booms | 5 Comments »

Rising oil prices and a booming economy, the Kremlin is once again flexing it’s muscles. Putin realizes that Russia is once again a super power. He’s following the old Russian tradition, back to soviet style ambitions. Putin is gathering all power to himself. Russia is watching the former soviet nations, causing political turmoil within these nations and planning to acquire them into states in the near future. Russia’s back like it hasn’t been since the break-up of the soviet union more powerful than ever.

Although the cold war is over why is there still tensions between the West and Russia?

Why is Russia’s closest allies India and China but not western Europe or America?

Can there be a second cold war turning into a 3 world war?

Quietly and off the radar, Russia is rising steadily back into a super power. Putin is a very, very powerful man with ideas of returning to the days of the USSR. And make no mistake about it, he’s more than capable.
I think the cold war started up again a few years ago. Where it goes from here, I guess time will tell.
As for WW III, I think it’s inevitable that at some point tensions are going to flare, and we’ll probably see Russia "taking back" some of it’s former blocs while China moves on Taiwan.

    Stalin once said that Russia has to take two steps backwards to take thee steps forward. They’re on that second step, and they’re about to take three forward.
