Russia will degrade even more. After Putler dies or leaves his post another dictator will ascend to the throne. And none will give a fuck about this, won't do anything coz Russia is a land of slaves and gutless people. There is no future for this country. Sadly.
Hopefully it happens. It's better for the world to become multi polar.

In this situation people still think Putin is a god, doing everything right and Russia is world power #1, saving world from terrorism. They eager to beat those filthy "gaymericans", wanting to capture all the world. They still think Russia is a match for USA. Yeah, Russia is definitely good, keep going stranger.

Low price of crude oil makes the Russian finance bad.
maybe they'll take out loss at 10 billion dollars by next year.....
A Russian government was supposed as 90 dollars for 1 barrel and annual expenditure was expanded.
and They assumed the revenue by the petroleum 100 dollars for 1 barrel.
but, 39.5 dollars for 1barrel now....
>>51015595
But this guy >>51015643 is actually right.
>>51015643
do they have big mustaches too?
>>51015724
"Entering service in 1987, the Tu-160 was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union. The Long Range Aviation branch of the Russian Air Force has 16 aircraft with fewer in active use. The Tu-160 active fleet has been undergoing upgrades to electronics systems since the early 2000s. The Tu-160M modernisation programme has begun with the first new updated aircraft delivered in December 2014."
I was right.
>>51014808
>>51015729
Also it was planned by government to deverse economy and stop basing only on energy sources alot of year ago, get off the oil needle like they said. And what do we see now? Russian economy is nearly 75-80% based on fuel sellings, which is more than before.

yes
i think, a russian aims at soaring of oil price by Syrian intervention.
They're really poor now.
A war uses the large amount budget. A poor country can't participate in a terrorism war.
The Russian isn't interested in peace in the Middle East and the world.
Because Russians aren't the merciful people who sacrifice oneself and devote themselves to others.
They have an interest in only oil price.
Please remember an Afghanistan soviet war.
Depends on how much the climatic changes gives you more habitable lands while elsewhere in the world they become wastelands. Also more coastlines, that's always good for international sea trade.

Just look at their tanks. The T-90 is just an upgraded T-80, which itself is just and upgraded T-64, which is just an upgraded T-62, which is just and upgraded T-54/55, which is based largely on T-44, which was based on the T-34 with heavier armor and a new turret.

>The real risk is that economic discontent will force either the existing Russian government or its replacement into a harder political stance. As the maps in Barnes’s book show Russia has spent most of its history in conflict with one neighbour or another. War, as on numerous past occasions, could provide a nationalistic distraction from the grim economic realities. In many ways, the last 25 years in Russia have been a period of relative stability. But there is no guarantee that that situation will last. Mr Putin will remember all too well that one of the major reasons for the fall of the Soviet Union at the end of the 1980s was the collapse in energy prices. If anything, Russia is weaker now than it was then. Indeed, as Dominic Lieven says in a brilliant introduction to Barnes’s book: “Russia is now weaker than it has been at almost any time in the last 300 years.”

100 years ago 50% of Russia didn't even have electricity. How can they be weaker than 300 years ago.
Understand my point now? USA is so powerful now that UK, Germany and France are pathetic in comparison.
With China rising up, Western Europe will cease to exist as relevant countries.
>>51022502
>100 years ago 50% of Russia didn't even have electricity. How can they be weaker than 300 years ago.
The author meant in relative terms. Russia's strength relative to the world for 300 years.
>Understand my point now? USA is so powerful now that UK, Germany and France are pathetic in comparison.
But the USA is declining in importance as emerging powers grow faster (pic related). Meanwhile, the UK has been mostly outperforming its western peers for a while.
>With China rising up, Western Europe will cease to exist as relevant countries.
You got it backwards. China's rise (and India's rise) has the effect of making the world a bit more balanced and multi-lateral. The USA will remain powerful but becomes less so, relatively speaking, as these powers get stronger. That is why the UK felt it could get away with joining the AIIB despite the US asking it not to, something similar would have been unlikely in the 50s/60s or the 90s when the US was more dominant.
BTW the UK is on course to overtake the German economy. The UK hasn't been the largest European economy in peace time for about a century.

Of course! I can't wait to play Mother Russia on PS4.
>>51026202
The USA's share of the world economy has more than halved since WW2. Why? The fast growth of emerging powers which were disrupted during/after that war.
It's a simple and meaningful fact. IF you think the USA's declining share of GDP doesn't matter, you are a fool. Why did many of the USA's allies do something the USA publicly asked them not to do? Because the USA is less important than it was, and China is a growing slice of the world economy therefore growing in importance.
