6. It needn't be, if they'd get rid of mobsters like Putin and liars like Lavrov

Lavrov is falling all over himself. You can smell the flop sweat--he's lying and he knows he's lying.

Otherwise, it sounds like a typical speech from TFG or Palin or any of the other far right bafflegabbers who spout word salad sprinkled with catch phrases and buzzwords so morons will think they're being agreed with.

Russia is awash in fabulous natural resources, many yet to be discovered since Brezhnev only built the northern line of the Trans Siberian railway in the 70s and 80s and opened up that part of the country to exploration. Most of the wealth Putin and his fellow mobsters have looted has come from that part of the country. Had it been used to keep building up the country, Russia would be a world class player.
