My theory of state power

[Jam930]

Well look at it this way.

Japan is more powerful than Russia.
Russian blows up Japan.
Russian is more powerful than Japan.

Japan is a rat.
Russian is a set rat trap.

In a race the rat will probably win, and the rat is usually more intelligent, but, that's only when the rat and rusty spring of that mouse trap are friends. Rat makes the wrong move... and then the rat trap takes a giant leap in relative intelligence.
