The Roots of Russia’s Revanchism — Energy

The American Spectator via Free Republic

The Crimean crisis is revealing what history has proven over and over again — a country that develops a powerful economy on a firm foundation of energy resources can push its weight around on the world stage, and a country that lets its economy languish can believe itself much more powerful than it really is.--- William Tucker

Energy and space---we need to conquer both if we are to progress to the next level.  But we are going the wrong way.
