“or China will take it”
The Russians are losing control of eastern siberia. They already have an illegal (Chinese) problem proportionately as bad as ours.
This guy is clearly ignoring Russia’s problems. They have an economy about the size of London and supported only by oil wealth which has gone down the toilet now that oil prices have tanked.
Russia also has a declining population and there is real fear in the Kremlin that they may not be able to hold eastern Siberia 30-50 years from now. It’s not exactly a good time to lay claim to Alaska.
However he does have a point that if the US continues to accumulate debt, the currency is going to crash. We are going to have a budget deficit next year of over $1 trillion dollars. Something needs to change the way the government is doing business or this runaway train is going to derail and it will be one very horrific crash.
