Russia is a spent , local power , not a World power and Putin is a street corner boy on a soap box compared to the REAL affluent World leaders . Yeltsin was worth every penny and Russia prospered for a while under the good graces of the West but has proven unworthy and is returning to the economic gutter of the 1990's .
Russia cannot fight NATO and as its economic infrastructure weakens and eventually snaps , it will be unable to purchase new up-to-date military equipment . Stalin offered his people Guns or Butter , the present incumbent can offer them margarine or nothing .
Australia must increase its oil production and make closer links with our good Chinese friends . Putin is impotent to do anything . Russia can only intimidate neighbours in straits more dire than itself - Ukraine for example .
Sanctions must intensify and the West in general and IMF in particular must refuse to accept Russian Gold . This is essential . Then , Putin can take all his Oil and Wheat and use his Gas to cook the world's BIGGEST PANCAKE . The Russians will have little else to eat .
Russia is not going to attack you. It's just hysterical. Fear mongering. Because when people are afraid, the state is easier to spend money. they will say something to defend against evil Russian. Problem is that you are always presented with a one-sided situation. Your media does not reflect the direction of Russia.
You always said - "Russian bad." But is it really? Simply Russian opinion does not always coincide with the opinion of the United States. Remember the situation with chemical weapons in Syria. US was ready to attack, but Russia insisted on a peaceful resolution of the conflict
We all see the result - weapons destroyed without war. But now Obama states that without the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad did not get the victory LIH. We're not stupid, we understand that the true purpose of the United States was originally not a weapon, and the war in the Middle East. Assad stopping them.
Extremely unlikely. And if they were dumb enough to try they would facing the United States military, the United Kingdom military, and another dozen nations. Russians are more cautious than half a century ago. Yes, it's been proved they are inside of Ukraine. But even there they are going with a slow and steady approach.
the person who chooses their own best answer is often like the doctor treating himself... ...a fool (for a patient). gross ignorance is in the answer you choose. read a bit, educate yourself, and learn the real Russia.
I heard only about g20 summit. If we assume that you are able to switch on your brains for a minute, then what you think, why you desert that located thousands of kilometers away need for us? I think, the answer suggests itself.
Poor soul... brainwashed by fear mongering zio-Fashington media...
Those are neutral waters, relax. If Russia broke any international law NATO would attack it immediately
