Russia’s Future
I’ve always been interested in Russia. I studied a lot of Russian history and politics in college. Reading this interesting article at NRO on what is going on now politically and economically in Russia really made me miss Dr. LaRae Larkin’s classes at Weber State.
Happenings in the Russian Federation could definitely affect us here in the U.S.. If Russia were to fail as an alternate oil supply to the middle east we could be in for some economic trouble. Unfortunately I don’t know how to contact my friend Taber Johnson who knows all when it comes to the former Soviet Union and its current issues. I would love to hear what he thinks about what is going on there.

Unfortunately I know very little about Russia except for the propaganda pitched in movies like Hunt for Red October and Rocky 4.
Well, there was a “recent” JAG episode (I haven’t watched this show for months.) that depicted what its Navy has become. Not very attractive.
Wasn’t there a big oil spill in Russia not too long ago because their faulty, old pipes burst and the best way to keep it under control was to set it a blaze?
I have a friend who went to Russia on his mission and is studying near eastern (Middle East) stuff. He is heading to Turkey for a year.
Anyway, just thought I’d comment.
