I agree, except I think the only thing that has stayed the same is the people in power and their attitudes toward power.
I think Russia's greatest threat to the world is the alignment of business and brutal government into a government-corporate matrix that is brutally heartless and shortsighted.
I see the same danger with China.
In both cases, I think the basis is a lack of participation by the majority of people in the economy and in their governments.

Your post bears repeating!
I am concerned about a certain derivative of National Bolshevism. All the worst things of Communism, Nazism, Corporatism and Fascism all rolled into one.
