Russia will always be a world power and an important country but will never fully sort itself out.Too much corruption, too much reliance on a few strong men leaders, too much reliance on just exporting commodities (oil and gas) without developing/diversifying rest of the economy. The weight of history bears heavily on Russia.
Probably have less of 1super power (US)and more of a multi polar world.
USA, China , Russia, India, Brazil, Spanish S.America and an E. U. bloc if Europe can ever learn to act in unison and in its own self interest.
What's he banging on about?
