Sigh, well I guess no one else is interested in even theorizing on this. Well I'm continuously interested, if anyone knows any links which pertain to this please post them.

Russia is not democracy, and never will be. I think irs more like dictatorship.

I kinda agree. Unless they stay democratic for at least 2 generations or perhaps they slowly introduce reforms over a period of time. Anyone else?

Here's my make take on it;

If you know the bible then you know that Russia aka The Soviet Union cannot be trusted. In fact Gorbachev being the 8th leader fits the bill when one reads Rev. 17:10,11

[10] And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
[11] And the beast THAT WAS, and IS NOT, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

There is more but Im not in the mood to preach. People could care less. SOON THEY WILL! Zee
