1. Russia recently pulled off a shock victory over the so-called sole superpower and Western allies by its swift annexation of Crimea. As far back as Oct 7, 2011, in a political forum, I had "predicted" the comeback of Russia:

"'The glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome.' -- Edgar Allan Poe

Comparing their past and present, it's safe to say those two great civilizations will never regain their past glory and grandeur.

The same can be said of other ancient civilizations or great empires like Egypt, Iraq, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, etc. Their glorious past has gone forever like the 'Age of Dinosaurs'.

However, it will be at the Americans' own peril to write off the Russians from the global power equation as Russia has many national requisites necessary for aggrandizement such as its enormous size, well-educated population, abundant oil and other mineral resources.

2. A few days later, on Oct 12, 2011, I elaborated on my viewpoint in the same forum:

"While many other empires and civilizations have joined the ranks of the dinosaurs, the Rooskies are far from it. That is precisely the message of my quote which is a balm to Russian pride:

'Here lies a wounded bear. Once recuperated, he'll be back with a vengeance.' – reedak"

3. During the past few years, I had made several intelligent guesses on other political events in that forum. I shall elaborate on them later. Interested readers are welcome to share their intelligent guesses (or predictions) on the world's political events in this thread.

Russia has ended the post WW2 taboo on expatiation. The next time a Western power plays in Asia they'll stay citing precedent. Russia will kick itself afterwards.
