    Makes sense, if Russians can't use it, you are preventing all those things :)

  • Russia's crashing demographics, Putin sending the nation's future to get mulched in Ukraine... maybe Ukraine falls and we get Cold War Pt II, but no matter what Russia's not in as good a position as the USSR in 1922. It'll fall faster and harder and I doubt anybody's going to reach out a friendly hand afterwards like we did last time.

    China's going to feast on the remains, though. Those natural resources are tasty.

  • In Soviet Russia, frosty pisses YOU!!!!
