Wal Mart to Spread into Russia

Wal Mart is outflanking Carrefour by planning expansion into Russia. With this maybe the battle between the two super giants will morph into an effort to globalize countries. There was once the McDonald's effect where no country ever waged war against another country as long as they both had a McDonald's (the NATO-Serbian conflict of 1999 ended that), maybe there will be a big box store effect.
