Putin Pushes Plan for Airships in Siberia.

I remember that Igor Pasternak said that he is on Putin's bad list (a sad thing to hear), but love him or hate him both Igor and Putin seem to be on the same page when it comes to airships and their potential to exploit Siberia.

The sanctions and Russia Phobia Sentor McCain keeps spewing over the annexing of Crimea, may be justified, but I hardly feel this is a realistic long term strategy.

Now we must consider that Putin, Tyrant, Dictator, or Statesmen (however you feel,) is presenting a seriously good solution to Russia's highly inadequate infrastructure to further growth in Russia.

If we believe we are in the right, and we probably are, the USA needs to lead by example.

We really need to compete with Russia on this front. Instead of building more war machines to fight some hypothetical war that will only end with everyone on the face of the earth dead or dying, A better way is to win on a cultural level by providing more prosperity to the world at a better rate.

Putin is going to build a fleet of Hybrid Airships and they will give untold benefits to not just the Russian economy, but his friends and allies as well.

This includes Iran.

Think about it...

Do we really want the Muslim world to see Iran as a nation of prosperity with Flying Machines that would seem almost like magic to them, before they see us doing it first?

The Tech is sound, the plan is logical and we ~Need~ to be first.

We need to beat Russia culturally by building Bigger Airships with More Cargo capacity to impact the world on a cultural level and have a deeper impact on cultural affairs then they do.

The more Airships we fly and the bigger they are, the more the people of the world will see the US as a force that they should ally with, and the more they will listen to us in world affairs.

CO2 emissions go down, globule prosperity goes up and we all benefit.

On top of this it fulfills our geo-strategic goals as it's an effective weapons platform in and of itself.

The problems in Crimea will hopefully be solved by having more prosperity for all people globally, and airships allow us to do just that.

I'm not saying that the Annexing of Crimea was justified, the "election" hardly seemed fair, but trying to compete with Russia in another Cold War is just going to send both our economies into the tank even more, and that inevitably leads to war.

There is a better way.

We really need to start thinking about what's best for us as a globule citizen. Dictators and Tyrants will fade when the people are free to live their lives the way they see fit. And the only way for the people of the world to do that is with economic mobility.

Airships can do just this, and in a lot of ways fulfill the ideological destiny of freedom our nation was founded on.

Yes, Putin may be as bad as they say, but nobody I know today says Iraq is better off with Saddam gone.

We cannot compete with Russia Militarily, everyone will end up dead.

We can compete economically and culturally.

Hybrid Airships will allow us to do just that. We should do it.
