USSR is coming back.
USSR is coming back and nobody even noticed.
Barely made to the news election of Communist President in Kishinev Moldova. He has very Russian first and last name in the country with ethic Romanian majority. Romanians did not like that but in all likelihood it will not matter. Russians will de-facto take over Moldova. Russia held part of Moldova called Pridnestrovie since the fall of USSR and now maybe taking back the rest of Moldova.
Ukraine where US backed Polack minority President was elected in so called “Orange Revolution” paid entirely by US taxpayers through American NGOs is now sliding into Russian control. I hear that President and his party are completely broke which means that US support is no longer there. At the same time Putin pledged up to one billion USD to Timoshenko for candidate of her choosing in next election. Most likely very pro-Russian government will be elected there. Current President Yushenko has very little control over most of the country anyway. He makes desperate anti-Russian statements time to time hoping that his American handlers will come back with bags of money but it is very unlikely to happen. US needs supply line for US troops in Afghanistan and it is now coming through Russia.
Abhazia and South Osetia were taken back by Russia from Georgia last summer. Everybody saw that on the news. As soon as US “blinks” when it is too busy with it’s own problems the rest of Georgia will be taken over.
Russia does have firm control over Belarus, Kazakhstan and semi-control over other former Soviet “Stans”. Why do you think Manas is being closed in Kyrgizstan? Because Putin said so.
Armenia is very friendly with Russia and may come willingly into new USSR.
Pribaltic states and Azerbaijan maybe left alone for now. Just until the time when US will get weaker yet. Pribaltic states have very large Russian population in them. Third if not close to a half of the population in those are ethic Russians. They will be easy to take over when time comes.
I heard rumors that Russian military was given orders to prepare for the move into former Soviet states. Soon as US can no longer play the role of lone superpower new USSR will rise again.
