Another interesting story on the topic

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070812/...s_metal_giants

More than 12 percent of global aluminum output comes from the privately owned UC Russian Aluminum, the world's biggest producers of the vital metal. Russia's state-owned mines and stockpiles account for 20 percent of the world's uranium, more than any single country. A mining company controlled by the state arms exporter, Rosoboronexport, is the world's biggest producer of titanium.

Without titanium from Russia's VSMPO-Avisma, Boeing Co.'s 787 Dreamliner and Airbus's A350 XWB couldn't fly, analysts say. The metal is also critical to Lockheed Martin Corp.'s F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, an advanced fighter bomber being jointly developed by Britain and the U.S.

if theres going to be a cold war it wont involve russia, itll be China and the United States, though given the economic potential for anyone if they reach the chinese market i dont think Kennans contaiment policy is necessarily going to work this time around. I also dont have much rewspect in the modern politicans to guarantee itll be a cold war...
