A Little on Russia

One of the most talked about political figures has had some “sleepless nights,” and it is not Senator Barack Obama or Senator John McCain. A video on Grani-TV showed a very angry Vladimir Putin after Russia lost billions of dollars in U.S. investments. It seems that the final weeks of the election have allowed people to shift focus from America’s economic problems to the results of the presidential race. We will soon know who the winner will be, (and polls from Real Clear Politics show that it will probably be Obama) but as we finish reading the headlines and turn of the television, we will have to return to reality. The candidate who wins will have a lot on his shoulders, and he will have to face significant unresolved problems left from the last administration. One of the biggest questions for future politics has been the relationship between the United States and Russia, so we will have to see how if our next leader will be able to retain its status as a world power.
