I disagree, but at least you are cooperating. Russia's military is more of a threat because they have the potential to destroy the world. China can't, even though they have some nukes. Economically, China may be better but Russia is using their oil to a diplomatic advantage. Now what were you saying about "threat levels"? |

Yes. It goes over Russia's Oil exports and how it is attracting European and Asian customers. It also discusses how dangerous it can be to the West. I reccomend it because I really follow this stuff. |

Here's a basic explanation: As you know, Russia has much Export earnings off Oil. European Customers (our allies) have always been short on Oil, so they think of Russia as a good place for trade. Some of the things Russia wants in return is Military Alliances. I.e. Russia has been dealing lowered prices to Germany, and now they want them out of NATO. Another book that discusses this is New lies for old. i am paying attention. |

China and Russia are each responsible for 6% of global military spending (for a total or 12%) whereas the US is responsible for 46% of global military spending. |

Revenues are rising in both countries, and they are on the rise while the U.S. is also on the rise, but are being hit hard by rising debt. They must realize at one point they can't keep up. And, while doing that they cut their own throats by refusing to lift sanctions on Iran, Iraq and Libya. China and Russia aren't the enemy... look in the mirror. |

The big mistake the US made was towards the end of the Clinton administration when they thought they could take over Russia's back yard and sold bogus investments to every tom, dick and harry for a pipeline that would never succeed. |

They need to be broken if they threaten us the hard way. They've been hanging to this for a while. Your statement provides proof that you are racist. That's PURE ISRAELI. |
