Weak economy pushing Russia to arms deal: Biden
Russia's struggling economy and its leaders' pragmatism will push it to make deals on nuclear arms reduction as Washington seeks to reset ties with Moscow, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said.More likely KGB man Putin has his own commie in the Whitehouse and it's now or never to roll the USA. Russians "have a shrinking population base, they have a withering economy, they have a banking sector and structure that is not likely to be able to withstand the next 15 years, they're in a situation where the world is changing before them and they're clinging to something in the past that is not sustainable," Biden said. At least Biden got one thing right. From whom did he plagiarize it? The Russians can't afford the manpower, tanks, planes, ships, subs, missiles and nukes to be a major power. A pro American president would sit tight and keep the powder dry as the KGB mafia goes down the drain. I sure wish we had one of those. Posted by: ed 2009-07-25 |
