<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1203577, member: 17919&quot;]As one who is living in the shadow of Fukushima, I think if anything the situation is being overblown in the Western media. The people of Fukushima are in dire straits, no doubt about that, as are the tsunami areas, but the rest of the country is not a basket case as I have heard some reports paint it to be. Japan is a country that has the ability to rebound after disasters-- that has been part of its culture for centuries, if not millennia. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for Russia, I would avoid it like the plague. Sure it has a lot of resources. But it also has a lot of corruption and uncertainty. It is in a precarious situation, and has been ever since its breakup. And its &quot;sophisticated industrial base&quot; pales in comparison to countries like Japan and Germany.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
