All this talk of global warming, but really, have we the west ever treated Russia like anything more than an adversary?
Yes, they have a corrupt oligarchic system, but that's never stopped us from doing business. I don't think I have to list the regions etc.
IMO anyway it's just business as usual, the fear of imminent destruction is a good replacement for the scarcity model in a society that's becoming more and more acutely aware that we are in fact in danger of the opposite, killing ourselves off because of our excesses, not our lack of resources but our abundance, and our mismanagement of them.
So, with that in mind, the burgeoning "new" threat from the east is just another Oceana is BAD scenario, another way to motivate us into not worrying about anything besides the bottom line. After all that bomb shelter can't build itself. Of course this works out well for our eastern friends as well, since they will be able to show disregard for environmental issues and the like in favor of growth in order to counter the "threat" from the west.
Why people fall for this stuff I don't know?
