Wait a minute...how much timber does Russia actually have? During the Cold War, the Soviets did EVERY SINGLE THING TO THE ENVIROMENT THAT THEIR COMRADES ACCUSED AMERICA OF DOING.

Are the businessmen you are referring to Japanese? In that case, an agreement can probably be reached. The administration IS willing.

Its vast crumb..its bigger than the USA and Canada put together. And yes they did screw things up bad during the cold war. The business? One is the worlds largest forest products company as of right now. Heck the Finns and Swedes are already over there I understand. And a whole lot of large contractors are talking about going now..even some small ones, such as this one. If they offer to ship my equipment over and the price is right and the political situation calms a bit more and gets more stable I may take a crack at it. They already have the tax system in place we should have (flat) and they are about to privatize their retirement (Social security) system. The Russians are poised to steamrole the rest of the world economically if they just get a better handle on their political problem.
