Today, most Americans believe the United States is the "sole superpower", not having unmatched in the economically and militarily. But in fact this assertion is far from the truth. As we detailed account of China has become the dominant economic and military superpower. But there is another world superpower that the American people and American media are not taken seriously.
Russian bear has awakened, and yet most people in the U.S. continue to think of Russia as an enemy of the Cold War, which "we won" and who is now a mere shadow of the past. The last case with the arrest of Russian spies is a perfect example of what the American public treats Russia with insufficient respect.
It all looks like what the media tells us: "Oh, look, it's so cute, these little Russian spy in us, as though the Cold War still going on." But the truth is that underestimate Russia - a serious mistake.
Is the fact that today Russia economically and militarily stronger than ever before.
You doubt?
We quickly called the principal oil producer in the world.
Give a hint - it's not Saudi Arabia.
This is Russia.
In addition, Russia has recently become an oil exporter number one worldwide. But it is not all Russia - the main exporter of natural gas in the world. In a world heavily dependent on oil and natural resources, all this gives Russia a good trumps.
December 28, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin opened the first in modern Russia, the Pacific terminal for oil exports. Pacific port Kozmino currently allows Russia to export large amounts of oil to the growing economies of Asia.
And the United States.
Did you know that Russia is fast becoming one of the leading suppliers of oil to the United States? It's true.
Intelligently whether from the U.S. to become dependent on Russian oil? Probably not. But this is what happens.
And the Russian economy is growing rapidly. We have seen very high rates of economic growth in Russia in the first half of the past decade. And analysts predict that Russia's GDP will grow by more than 5% in 2010.
Most people think that the Russian town still divided, and the people there are queuing for bread. Now everything is different. According to Forbes, Moscow now ranks third among the most expensive cities in the world. Cost of living in Moscow than in any U.S. city. Who would have thought that you need more money to live in Moscow than in New York!
But Russia is not just again become an economic superpower. Russia uses its economic leverage to quickly upgrade and modernize its conventional and strategic weapons ...
In the past few years Russia is very serious updating and modernizing its strategic nuclear forces. U.S. officials continue to argue that America has a technological advantage in this area, but all agree that that gap is rapidly shrinking.
June 15 Russia introduced the world to its new nuclear submarine of the fourth generation, apparently, the least noisy of all the now existing.
A couple of weeks ago, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin got into the cockpit of the new fifth-generation fighter, and announced that he was far superior to the F-22 Raptor.
Russia has once again shown its strength throughout the world. We all saw what they were able to achieve in Georgia. But they were very busy in other places ...
Iran announced on Wednesday that the Bushehr nuclear power plant in a joint project with Russia, will be ready for operation in two months.
Russia has signed a major deal to supply weapons to Syria, under which it will supply Syria combat aircraft, anti-tank weapons and air defense systems.
After the historic visit of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in Damascus, Russian energy minister announced that his country was "studying the issue of" building a nuclear power plant in Syria.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said recently that Russia and Turkey have become key strategic partners.
Russia reached agreement on a set of new agreements with new, more pro-Russian oriented government of Ukraine.
And yet, the U.S. does not view Russia seriously. According to Admiral James A. Winnefeld, head of the North American Command, the U.S., Russia continues to flights of strategic nuclear bombers near U.S. and Canadian airspace, since the Russian army seeks to preserve the "illusion of power."
The illusion of power? He was playing the fool? It is this dramatic underestimate the power of Russia, could ultimately end in sad.
The truth is that lack of understanding of the situation in the world begins with the very pinnacles of power. Barack Obama favors a plan that would reduce the size of the U.S. strategic nuclear arsenal to about 10 percent of what was in the midst of the Cold War. Most Americans (like most people who read this story), just consider that Russia is not a serious threat, but it shows how mistaken by most people.
In many ways, Russia is now in a much better position than the United States. Russia's government actually controls the economy so that the budget was in surplus during the period from 2001 to 2007 and the country has a very small public debt. Meanwhile, the U.S. accumulated the largest debt in world history.
Russia holds about $ 100 billion of debt.
God, how things have changed!
The most terrible thing is that Russia and China are cooperating on a range of economic and military projects as they seek to create "a counterbalance to U.S. influence in the world.
The truth is that the U.S. can no longer "do anything they want." Russia and China are more powerful country than it has ever been before, and they will not disappear any time soon. The world has changed. If the United States is not going to wake up and do not recognize this fact, can happen very serious consequences.
