:::::One needs to look at the volume of oil production, not just export. The Soviet oil industry was drilling with 1930s technology, and lacked modern technological upgrades. The Soviets didn't even know the size of its reserves; it wasn't until after the collapse of the USSR that oil prospectors could enter Russia and assess. With the discovery of North Slope oil in Alaska in the 1970s it was speculated that the USSR might have vast reserves on its Arctic shoreline, and was only confirmed decades later.

:::::The Wikipedia article on the 1986 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reykjav%C3%ADk_Summit Reykjavik Summit] says this: Reagan "also promised to share SDI technology, a promise which [[Gorbachev]] said he doubted would be fulfilled, as the Americans would not even share oil-drilling technology." Had the US shared oil drilling technology prior to the end of the Cold War, and the USSR allowed to sell oil to IMF member states, the USSR might possibly been able to compete with the Reagan defense buildup.

=="Ukraine ‘deserves’ NATO membership, Turkey’s Erdogan says"==

Thank you, President Erdogan: well done to you. I stand by my prediction, which is confirmed by Muslim Turkey being so co-operative with the Judeo-Christian West: NATO will welcome (1) Sweden as NATO Member 32 by this year end, if not Vilnius, and (2) Ukraine as Member #33.

If Erdogan is in favor, as the below news shows, it will almost certainly go through when the time comes. Perhaps Washington Summit, 2024, perhaps some where late next year. And yes, I do think Christians - though it might be Atheists doing it - should not burn the Quran, at least not in public, provoking 2 BN Muslims, while gaining nothing. The Christian World and Muslim World should work together. It is possible, and Blessed are the Peace-Makers. Below from Islamic News Site Al Jazeera: "A Fair Peace creates no losers":

"Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also called for a return to peace talks saying, ‘a fair peace creates no losers’."

"Turkey supports Ukraine’s NATO membership aspirations, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but he also urged for a “return to peace efforts” to end the conflict that has now raged for 500 days since Russia invaded Ukraine last year. “There is no doubt that Ukraine deserves membership of NATO,” Erdogan told a joint press conference with the Ukrainian president in Istanbul early on Saturday, adding that the two sides should go back to peace talks."

:What Turkiye likes about Ukraine is, it sells its [[Bayraktar]] drones to Ukraine (which actually is American money). But it sells the same drones to Russia, as well. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Give Peace a chance'']]</sup> 17:20, July 9, 2023 (EDT)
