The sleeping Red Bear is awakening. This could become a problem in the coming years.

Anyone who has been in Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union -- would not fear them as much as before..

The place is a mess.. Incompetence, drunkenness and laziness is the "norm"... Public sector corruption is rampant.. Businessmen can be counted on to over-promise and under-perform, and not meet schedules, costs or quality requirements.. Crime is widespread and the Russian Mafia in places is more powerful than the "Government"...

It appears as though the "best" of Russia has left, to make a life for themselves outside of Russia.

Russia's selection of "friends" in the middle east hasn't encouraged foreign investment...

Russia must now "team" with China, Islamists and the new communists of South America to project any "heat"..

The "Bear" is anemic..

It already has started and China is already hitting us with major cyber attacks. Could is not the word. Define IS.
