As far as oil goes, I came to a conclusion, as a young fellow back in the early 70’s, that Russia may eventually rip great rewards because of the incredible Soviet inefficiency…;-)

The Soviets were bad news… Throughout their rule, they were not able to develop their resources (and preserved the oil reserves by default)… they were not even able to build a single passable road across Siberia.

I am optimistic about Russia. For as long as they will continue building a political system supportive of the right of an individual, I think their future is bright.

About Middle East… For the moment the events there are stealing the show, and I think to a large extent it happened by design. But when the dust settles, again, it will be the war of crazed Islamists against the rest of the world, and America will have to lead, because no one else will…
