Putin's New Cold War

Submitted by Perry de Havilland, Feb 7, 2008 17:33

Sorry but this whole Rebirth of Russian Power meme is preposterous. Guys, Russia does not quite the same GDP as ITALY and at least Italy has a modern diversified economy, unlike Russia. GDP of European Union: $14 trillion; USA 13.8 trillion; China $7 trillion; Russia $2 trillion (source: CIA factbook). Putin has delusions of grandeur. Russia is an irrelevant annoyance, nothing more.
