You bet Russia is a Superpower was announced in 2006 at the G8 meeting in St. Petersburg, the US is no longer the sole Superpower anymore, it is 2
nations, Russia and the United States.
Russia is a superpower because 1 they have the world's largest nuclear weapon arsenal which10 times greater than the US, Russia's economy is
stronger than the US, BBC news reported this recently. Third they are an energy super giant and their military has been continuing to update in all
forces of the 21 century weapons compared to the US and they have every domain of power in ideological, diplomatic and technological fronts. Russia is
a superpower because they have the economics, the wealth, the diplomatic power, ideological, technological advances than any other country besides the
US, they have the cultural sector and lets not forget their military levels (supreme). The US is on the mist of a recession and several the US
government agencies such as NASA are going bankrupt. Russia is on the raise and I main raise, the country is becoming super rich and now are being
placed at the 5th fastest growing country in the world. This is many reasons, the US has announced this several times and new agencies such as CNN
news, Russia is a Superpower but the USA is still the leader but no longer the sole superpower, it is now 2 Superpowers; Russia and the USA. Russia is
expected to suppress the US Superpower status by 2012 as the new leader Superpower. Now the US leads but that will change as Russia will over take the
US on the US’s military budget in less than 8 years because the US is being heavily outsourced from foreign countries and is losing it’s in
fracture on a poor economy,

If any of you heard the News on CoasttoCoast radio last month with George Noory, NASA is going bankrupt and does not have the funds to complete the
International Space Station as Russia was suppose to complete 40% of the station as they are planning their moon space station for 2015 on top of
that. They may either need to help the complete the station or the station will go into limbo without the Russian’s to fix the US contract to finish
it. The US Space shuttle is an outdated program that even the X-43 program went bankrupt and the US shuttle is just too expensive. A shuttle that
takes a crew of 5 people to operate where the Russia space shuttle can fly unmanned and also dismantle its wings in space and attaching into the space
station as a counterpart to the station. The Russians have flow more manned space missions that the numbers are impossible to beat that even the
current Soyuz rocket has an 95% prefect record (has flown more than 520 missions). I just find it interesting when Russia was in the down in the
90’s but they still preformed their space missions and building nuclear arsenals but now they regained their superpower status again officially when
it is expensive to improve military capability and continue space flights, how did they do it?

The US is on an economic plunge as many of us can admit this, not just housing, high gas prices and bad inflation rates but our country is falling
where Russia is greatly improving. You see our problems with immigrations and corporations continuing to outsource for cheaper labor overseas because
the US labor is too expensive, we can’t even afford to fix our immigration problems not just the borders but the internal problems. What is unique
about Russia is they don’t have an immigration problem at all, everyone who is not a Russian citizen has to have an entry visa, everyone and
anything. The US is broken in so many ways it is just a complete joke.
I also wanted to state Russia is completely debt free as they cleared all their past deficits
