Everyone always makes fun of the Russian GDP unaware of the fact that comparing it to the American GDP is like comparing apples and oranges.
Russia's GDP is built differently. It is nearly 100% manufacturing base GDP. The American GDP is about 70% fluff and 30% manufacturing. Yes it still larger but it's the difference between a marshmallow that's roughly 1 inch in diameter and an iron slug that's roughly one inch of diameter. They take up the same amount of volume but are vastly different in their makeup.
With American support and know how access to the Russian's vast mineral wealth could do several things. Raise the standard of living for the entire world very quickly, remove all motivations for military aggression, and open up a completely new era of innovation that might represent the next major step in the advancement of the human race.
I don't know why anybody would be against this. Though I'm sure I'm going to find out in the sub forum here.
Stopping the slaughter should be the ultimate goal. This isn't a game of chess or a pissing contest. This is the future of humanity we're talking about. There's no room for petty political puppets.
