1. I watched the whole thing . It's interesting. BUT, it's from March 5th. Lots of what he predicts has

happened. Lots of what he suggests the west does, the west is doing.

2. This is good - really good.

As a long time board and video gamer, I can appreciate his take on this. Its all about the macro-spending and policy.

Really good stuff.

3. Arthur C. Clarke (my favorite author) wrote a story titled "Superiority"

that should be required reading at all military academies. It was about an interplanetary war between two worlds, one of which had highly superior science. That world LOST the war because their scientists kept coming up with "brilliant" weapons which in the end bogged them down and inhibited their ability to conduct the battles.Superbly done, and quite sobering to contemplate!

4. Excellent presentation. Hope the western alliance sees it (and the russkis don't.)
