Recreating a superpower. Iceland turns to Russia for help.
" We have not received the kind of support that we were requesting from our friends. So in a situation like that, one has to look for new friends. "
—Iceland's Prime Minister Geir Haarde, rebuking European allies for failing to help ease his country's financial crisis. Iceland has since turned to Russia for a €4 billion loan.
Somehow I don't think this sort of stuff bodes well for the US in the long run.
Will the US turn into a second-rate country (with first rate weapons which are ineffective against third-world tactics)?
