Re: The Rise of the Russian Empire: Russo-Armenian Relations
To me this situation seems reminiscent of how the Anglo-American elite tried to crack the Soviet Union through the arms race, forcing the Soviets into economic collapse as a price for keeping up with the west militarily (and technologically) as a priority.
Am I wrong to suspect that the present global economic situation in its ever worsening state, a phenomenon that is in many ways influenced deliberately the American economic policies, is being coupled rather lucidly with the missle defense shield encircling Russia, so that when the time is ripe, Russia too may crack economically and open it up for outright invasion?
I understand that Putin knows oil is perhaps the only way out (and that Ukraine is deliberately being played off against him to try seting him back, though Sud and Nord stream projects, along with cooperation by key nations in the EU could effectively overcome this). What I wonder is, are oil prices being deliberately controlled against Russian interests in order to minimize this trump card of theirs in being able to finance the modernization of their army through strategically sound and effective increments of time?
