I’m not sure?

They are not the Soviet Union anymore.

Meaning economically they are now capitalist.

My understanding is that they only have a 13% flat tax. That’s it. No other taxes.

Our economy would boom if we had a 13% flat tax only.

Have you seen Moscow lately?

"Yeh except Russia’s going bankrupt. LOL!"

A bankrupt nation - especially one like Russia - is simply a catalyst for a World War.

This proposal could be viewed in terms of: "Join with us and "play ball" thus saving the senseless slaughter of your youth as we take dominion over the resources we need."
