#1 Siberia is rich in natural gas and the russians can only spare two old women with brooms to guard it. Say goodbye to Russia, sibera, and hello to China!

#2 Iff memory serves, methinks that several years ago the Russian government itself publicly announced their country only had enough available [read - cheap] oil reserves for maxima 20-25 years.

#3 This ties in directly with the Chinese telling Kimmie boy to grow his own infrastructure.
If the Chinese are short of fuel, they surely don't want to give any away to the crackpot head of NORK

#4 SPACEWAR.com has an article entitled THE SINO-RUSSIAN SUPERPOWER, whilst Asia Times [ATIMES
.com] has several articles of note, espec THE RISE AND RISE OF THE UN-WEST, and THE SINO-RUSSIAN ROMANCE. RIAN.RU and THEMOSCOWTIMES report that Russian subs will be remapping the Artic shelves for the first time since the end of the Cold War, ostens to define Russia's borders espec Russia's alleged proximity to millions of metric tons of embedded oil-like hydro-carbon reserves. These articles subtledly infer or hint that America may yet end up being a victim of "regime change" itself as the post-Cold War unipolar society of nations seeemingly evolves to a multipolar one of mostly/heavily Muslim, nuclearized states. SPACEWAR's article makes it clear that despite any Russ0-Chinese rapprochement, China intends to [de facto]challenge America for global preeminence, and that while Lenin may had said that Capitalists will sell the every rope Marxists-Communists hang the Capitalists from, Russia needs to look after itself carefully becuz, "after Mongolia, Russian territory is the final frontier" FOR CHINA. IOW, while Russia-China may proclaim post-WOT to have saved the world from alleged Bush/GOP-led Male Brute Fascist America, it remains to be seen iff they can save the world from each other.

#5 Look, none of this would be at issue, if not for, uhmmm, so-called "American" businessmen selling, no, giving the rope, in trade for vague future promises, to the mercantile beast still known as red China.

red China gets its military steroids by way of transfusions provided, happily, by I-Got-Mine-Jack capitalists who happen to reside in Boston, and New York, and San Fransicko, and North Carolina, and Washington.

A long time friend I know who works for a major "American" financial services firm has revealed to me that his company is about to transfer all of its trading system development, and systems administrative authority, to a franchise "technology center" in red China. The impetus behind this is to slash domestic technology costs, and provide wider bonuses to the short-timer "helmsmen" who stand to benefit.

That this kind of move puts America's financial services short and curlies in the hands of a hostile power is of no apparent concern to the "helmsmen." They have already crafted 8 figure parachutes designed to deliver them from the danger zone, long before Sarbanes-Oxley figures out the major malfunction.

So, who can speak ill of the chi-coms and their desire to simply keep their newly acquired systems powered on?
