Well, I am not exactly pro US government (quite the opposite). US is trying to protect its Empire while it decays slowly economically into oblivion. The only option is expanding its Empire, with a divide and conquer in European ex colonies, except for ex-colonies between Pakistan and Macau. Russia (elite) is almost passively trying to protect against NATO expansion (they sell gas to them, you won't kill your costumer). What will happen? Well, I don't think they are in a situation similar to 1917, when the government was completely demoralized and workers organized with a sizable part of the army in mutiny, and took a couple of decades to stop the internal strives. I think the situation you described is more similar to Germany in 1932, with a popular leader, a poverty stricken population and a brilliant heavy industry engineering. They began giving arms to a crony government in Spain right after this. But this time, Russia has nukes. If I had to guess, they'd rather go south, annexing ex-republics, plus Iraq and Syria, while pulling Iran as a Satellite.
Hopefully, the adoption of the new technology will not be that fast, it will take a few decades, as Jed says in his book. That's enough for everyone adjust for the new times. 2014-05-15 14:54 GMT-03:00 Axil Axil <janap...@gmail.com>: > [image: Boxbe] <https://www.boxbe.com/overview> This message is eligible > for Automatic Cleanup!
