President Vladimir Putin issued a veiled warning that foreigners were seeking to split up the vast country and plunder its resource wealth.

Actually, the Russian oligarchy beat everyone to it.

Russia has vast wealth? Does anyone have a source for that?

I find it so funny to hear a Russian, any Russian whyne about "foreigners plundering " Russia. Russia has been an imperialistic "country" and has plundered it's neighbors for centuries.

Don't need a source. It is common knowledge that they have vast amounts of oil/gas/ lumber and minerals including god and diamonds.

Ah the old fear tactic. Do as I say or be destroyed.

He is partly right though, the Bush Admin would like nothing better than to "rule all of humanity" as he puts it.

Vote for Garry Kasparov and hope Putin doesn't put a bullet in his head.

World is already back to being like it usually is.... multi-polar poltically...

Russia has been playing up the Evil Western Invaders stuff again as well as reminding everyone it used to own the neighborhood around it..and wants to again.

Putin did and became what I thought he was from the start.
A lil slower on pushing the bear around the globe then I thought he'd be.

Kasparov whatever his credentials beyond chess is not in the United Russia Party. So forget about it..even if he did he would probably be rubbed out if he upset affairs too much.

Please post your evidence that Russia has God.

As for the rest of that crap, Canada has all that stuff too. Should we define them as having vast wealth?

If by "rule" you mean "spread democracy to" then I agree.
