Default Re: Capitalism, Sustainability, and the Possibility of Global Collapse

Excellent article, and thank you for posting.

I heard Condy Rice's spiel the other day on NPR, where she said Russia was on a path to "self imposed isolation and international irrelevance." Puhleeez . . .

Russia controls one of the largest natural gas reserves on the planet at a time when fossil fuel use has YET to reach its peak. Putin could moon the United States delegate on the floor of the UN, and still command more "relevance" than say, France or Spain in the world. The same could be said for China, with its manufacturing and banking explosion. Both China and Russia don't really have to respond to any criticism from the West - they don't have to. That fits with what the author said about war provoked by the west.

What are your thoughts on Benjamin Fulford, and his views of the east-west economic dichotomy that has emerged since the fall of the Berlin Wall?
