[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 1294237, member: 8259"] My position is that the former Soviet Union has been, and will continue to, take any opportunity expand their influence on the region. This is no way meant to be misunderstood that I think they are the only nation that tries to do that. The valid question of the thread, in my mind, is will this lead to another cold war. If someone believes that this will lead to another cold war it only seems logical to believe that the current governments of the G whatever you want to call it today are complicit with their action/inaction. My opinion is that the powers that be (on both sides) always need a bad guy to rally against and we seem to be heading down the road of dragging out an old one. As an aside, I also believe that free trade would be the greatest benefit to a world economy and what is happening right now behind closed doors will only take us farther away and in my mind there is little doubt that a few well connected individuals will become very wealthy. It can be from oil, potash, arms or whatever else as the what never really matters. I'm fairly confident that my opinion on this subject is unique in this thread. [/QUOTE]
