International political resources are resources of matter and spirit which international political actors can utilize them to attain their objective. In international politics, the actor who have and control enough international political resources will be strong. And its international influence will be great. On the contrary, international influence of the actor who lost resources is more and more little. As a reason of strategic significance of international political resource, if a country cannot control its international political resources well, it will run off and lead to decline in efficiency, then bring about exhaustion. In 1960's-1970's, because the international political resources of the Soviet Union ran off continuelly, the country became weak than ever. And it would die out at last. The loss of the Soviet Union's international political resources gave expression on three factors, which are politics, economy and national security. On politics, the Soviet Union draft apart with the other socialist states and conducted to fight for the whole world with the capitalistic states, such as the United States of America. At the same time, the Soviet Union made its political influence decline in the United Nations, and the international political resources lost largely at last. On economy, the efficiency declined and the nation's ability of influence was weakened and the scale of economy also reduces, so the proportion of the Soviet Union's economy in the world economy as a whole declines. International political resources ran off. On national security, the situation Soviet Union supported became worse; the Soviet Union fell into a danger of nuclear war for the military conflict occurred between the Soviet Union and China. At the same time, the Soviet Union's nationalism began to rise and expand step by step. It made international political resources lose. The loss of the Soviet Union's international political resources caused serious consequence. On the one hand, the loss led to the Soviet Union's development of economy be lopsided. So the military expenditure and external support became heavier. On the other hand, the leader took the wrong way and the nation fell into a bigger danger of disintegration. At last, the loss made the nation splittism be in flood, and every sovereign state proclaimed independence. The loss of the Soviet Union's international political resources gives the other country a lesson how to understand and treat international political resources. The nation must exploit the international political resources simultaneously, and take steps on guard against the loss of international political resources.
