In fact I affirmatively believe all the things you listed - saving the last two.

I don't recall ever mentioning anything about either a DU or a Russian 'bubble' - - Not even sure what it means.

And I think your final statement regarding a Russian client state is the just about the largest boatload of crap. A joke really. Even given the proposition of 'dictatorship' (slightly more plausible, although still by no means likely) The idea that the U.S. is going to cede all its enormous wealth and power ... ? Under what alternate reality is THIS going to take place? Laughable and really quite ludicrous ... Not, I repeat NOT going to happen.
