The seppos just love to rehash that Russia alledgedly depends on natural resources and their exports. As usual, the US are doing themselves to a greater extent what they are accusing others of. Russia's energy production has levelled off for years.





You can say that nearly all of the GDP growth in the US under Obama is based on increased exploitation and import of oil, gas and coal, and to what cost to the environment. Also note the coincidence of increased oil production, and increasing gas prices.


And would you please stop refering to the UK as a force to be reckoned with economically and as military power unless it's a clear attempt on satire?
