Russia Produces More Oil Than Anyone Else

News Analysis:  As the world economy improves, the need for oil will increase. The gargantuan deposits of oil in Russia will help attenuate the increased need by increasing supply. Since its people are looking into the Russian Far East for supplies, years of production will be forthcoming.

The very insightful and intrepid leader of Russia, Vladimir Putin, knows what a Mineral and Timber “Horn of Plenty” Russia has in Siberia [beyond oil]. He will lead his people to deliver those resources to markets around the world for good Macro-Business. As a leader , HE DOES NOT VACILLATE, as  weak leaders do. The scope of the Siberian/Far East Project is gargantuan. Only a person of his ability and drive can “Deliver the Goods” to benefit Russia specifically and the World in general.

188 Countries in United Nations Voted that United States Cease Its Cuba Embargo

News Analysis:  A fifty-three year embargo evidences an archaic view of good international relations of a Super Power to its neighbor.  Cuba, purportedly sitting on top of an enormous gas/oil deposit [of which certain Americans knew about before Fidel Castro’s  rise to power] could decide to open up its territory to oil exploration. If so, the embargo would be immediately withdrawn, one could logically infer.

Historically, upsetting Americans by the taking over of casinos and other  businesses by the Cubans was merely ‘window dressing’; a pretext for the real value of Cuba to certain Americans: Petrochemicals.

Today, more damage is done to the Cuban people by isolating them. What gain is that to a civilized Super Power? Rather than evidencing animosities against the Cuban Government, the United States should engage it in meaningful dialogue. Opening up the American market to Cuban goods and vice-versa can only help neighborly relations. Perhaps then, Cuba would allow America to explore and develop its gas/oil deposits [America’s little secret known by a few].

The Epistemology of Evolving Mega-Business Relationships Amongst Countries

Today, there are economic forces at work which are forcing governments  to re-think their past business relationships amongst other countries so that they prosper in tomorrow’s markets.

For example. the potential for economic gain due to newly discovered economic quantities of natural gas and oil, located from Cyprus to the Levant, brings Israel closer to its Mediterranean neighbor Cyprus. With the potential to drill for and recover oil and gas and have it processed on a to-be-built refinery of Cyprus, adds value to the asset side of the ledger of both countries. This economic relationship did not exist in the year 2,000.

The expansion of the relationship between Russia and China in oil and gas recovery in Siberia also allows both countries to prosper. The added-value to Russia, by recovering earthbound assets and turning them in to products for sale, is gigantic. Here, the good will historically embraced by both Giants is further enhanced with economic cooperation.

Another example of a future enhancement to manufacturing production will be the meteorite enhanced super-strong diamonds of Siberia. Machine tool makers in Germany and Sweden will surely want to add value to their aerospace grade cutting tools by acquiring these diamonds to add to their fabrications. The tools will then easily slice through Titanium and other alloys use in aircraft production. As this relationship further develops, Germany, Sweden, and Russia benefit.

In Canada, oil shale is being produced which, when proper transportation can be secured, will aid China and Canada in their mutual growth.

Advanced in horticulture, by European laboratories, will allow Chilean roses to be shipped to America in even fresher form than they are presently. This assists American/Chilean relationships as well as European governments.

Mining of rare earths in Mountain Pass, California, due to increased investment by entrepreneurs, will help electronics manufacturers in Brazil and Malaysia to be more profitable. This helps the governments of the three countries to have good dialogue. Commercial prosperity can triumph over political guffaws.

The governments which allow for their citizens to engage in international commerce today,  will benefit superbly in tomorrow’s reality of increased profitability through a higher Gross Product.
