High oil price has consequences other than high gas price.

Russia has unveiled plans to replace nearly half the army's hardware by 2015.Even with their oil, Russia doesn't have the money to pull this off. It is a Putin pipe dream, and it ain't gonna' happen. Sorry Charlie, the USSR is over, and it isn't coming back.
To: TigerLikesRooster
Yawn...at least it's not another "5 year" plan.

The only thing is that Russia may meet these goals before 2009. Russia and the rest of the "CIS" is flush with money from oil, weapons, and other undisclosed sources. Also, Russia is doing alot of reverse engineering to get their weapons, and using technology such as plasma stealth on their aircraft.

I doubt that he will actually assume that title, but he will soon have all of the powers of the Tsar, along with the backing of a large portion of the military and the people.
You didn't happen to bring a couple of photon torpedoes back from Voyager, did you? We might need them.

I thought the Russians had buried the hammer and sickle.

Putin has been said to want a return to the USSR, but he also said that to do it too prematurely would anger the west.
To: Stonewall Jackson
Wait until the Tzar decides it is time to become a Premier, like Stalin...
To: Thunder90
A gray hammer and sickle is on the flag in the picture above.
It's been a few years since I've seen it displayed.

What do you think, will the fifty new bombers be Tu-164 Blackjack strategic bombers,the new Su-34 tactical bombers, a combination of both, or an entirely new design?
To: Stonewall Jackson
I bet that Putin (Or his sucessor) restores communism and publically says to the Russian people the the collapse of the USSR was a mistake and that he is restoring it.
To: Stonewall Jackson
Reversed engineered B-2 Stealth, or something they can stick plasma stealth to...
To: Fitzcarraldo
Only on certain occasions do they display the sickle and hammer in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Everywhere else, it can be seen flying side by side with the tricolor.

Like the ancient Chinese curse says, "We live in interesting times".
