Interesting POV Barry. I wonder about your theoretical maps of the future of a disintegrating Russia though. Mine has a big chunk of that land just north of China being "annexed" by Xi Jinping and his crew. They've been fighting over that territory since the 1858 Sino-Russian border dispute and as recently as the late 1960's. Though they agreed on a border deal in 2004, taking control of that long disputed territiory from a weakened Russia would be no problem for the mightier, and probably more functional Chinese military machine. Lots of valuable resources to be had for cheap. What do you think?
