What if Russia had some imagination?
« on: December 23, 2011, 04:50:23 AM »
If Russia had some imagination and capitalistic drive they could build a combination interstate highway and rail system  that  connected China with Europe. It could not only capture the majority of manufactured goods shipping between China and Europe with some branch lines it could move the manufactureing done in India and Asian countries and at the same time move the raw materials to Asia and India.
 
Russia could also get thier extensive raw materials into those manufactureing centers and that would include thier abundant oil supplies if they built an oil pipeline in the same building project. Russia has one of the largest forests and mineral reserves in the world.
 
In addition to raw materials and finished goods being able to be shipped in either dirrection it would likely become the most used tourism transit in the world also.
 
Europe combined is a massive consumer of manufactured goods and raw materials. That building project could connect close to 90% or the worlds population and leave the western hemisphere out in the cold. The Pacific Rim would have to continue to depend on ships of course. Food porduction would be the only weak link. Wonder why foriegn countries are investing in Canadian, American and South American land.
 
Looks too obvious to ignore.

blind, I thought about that to. I think of the money they could make from their natural resource's. I've seen some outdoor programs on their wildlife. They could have one heck of a tourism business on the hunting that could be utilized. Although wild boars are getting to be a problem in this country, they could really do well in deer,boar,carabou,bear. Plus I'm sure that there is plenty of fishing oppurtunities there also. Probably the biggest draw back is the govt. They just don't like the idea of capitolism working in their favor. gypsyman

Russia is in  a Christian Orthrodox rerival having kicked out the previous system's owners....some economic oligarchs were created post soviet era under NWO Yeltsin with US bankster help....today they are looking at economics differently than western precepts.

.

They will still have to operate with greed incentive, capitalism. The economy they could offer in transport plus putting thier resourses to work would allow them to control the trade east and west. They span enough of Europe to connect the buyers with the producers.
 
Thier problem would be as always, getting enough corruption out of the system to allow it to work.

Why should they expend resources and money to build something, when the russian elite  siphon off billions of American taxpayer dollars through corrupt American politicians and business interest.
They get to sit back and keep the peasants hungry while they maintain control over every facet of their lives.

The resourses expended will be "invested" in an infrastructure that will help Russia be a part of the power shift of the future. The building projects can be used to develope a work ethic among the populace. When meaningfull jobs are available with decent wages that goes a long way to develope the work ethic. You also have to look at the supply of immigrant labor available to them.
 
Thier elite will wtill rake in the money and more of it.
 
It won't happen without a sea change but it is definitely possible.

The Russian people are trying hard to remove KGB Col. Putin. I wish them success but am concerned with what would replace him.

[.

my understanding is there is a Christian revival taking place, Putin reborn and a leader of it,  and quite popular with some Russians who are tired of banskter types and exploitation schemes ...as should we be.......TM7


 
That sure sounds like a fairy tale considering his response to the demonstrations currently against him, same hardliner as always. ear

To allow people to compete in a capitalist system requires a hands off attitude as China can attest. Russia is not ready to let go.

You now have millionares in china. They own their own business and keep the proceeds. Not to mention they collectively own us.

Agreed on both parts.
 
Do keep in mind that any so called "private property" can be confiscated on a stroke of a pen and the owner made to disappear without a trace if it suits the Govt.
