1.India 2.India 3.India Thats it..but an Indo-Russian collaboration is a force to recon with. Consider the manpower ,logistics and artillery of India combined with russian missiles and sophisticated technology and intelligence, No power can dislodge such an coallition. Indians and Russians in coming years would certainly dictate terms to the world...

Wait 1990s? Russia was a democracy then, I doubt America would fund islamic terrorism as opposed to islamic mujahedeen before the fall of the SU, and no way would it happen after.

Maybe, because it hadn't to do anything with democracy, just like before? Just geopolitics and wish to maximally weaken potential rival on world arena. This stuff is going on for hell knows how much time (few hundred years for sure), with a little break for some ideological war (which in the end turned into same "big game")

And to nukes, i may explain - tactical nukes are tactical for their range, not payload. So yes, there can be a 200-500kt tac. nuke. At least that's how it's seen in Russian military. And a thousand-two km is still tacticals.

Historically/culturally: Armenia, Cyprus.

That's about it.

Ideologically it's the West. Regardless of what some people in the Kremlin may think today, Russia has made its choice to become a Western nation centuries ago, and Russians are still closer to European in mentality than anything else (though they took a different route to get there). If push comes to shove, Europe and America are Russia's closest allies. Especially against China or radical Islam.

Geopolitically, it's Central Asia. Russia is trying to rebuild the old Soviet ties with CARs. There is a sense that Russians brought civilization to these places, and the situation is still relevant. I doubt anyone invests in CARs as much as Russians today.

Funny thread that!
Russia never had friends or allies, only clients and vassals.
Hopefully, Syria, Serbia, Iran, Belarus, China, Venezuela and the rest of them tinpot dictatorships and anti-Western jitholes will have no interest, or won't have the power, to prevent the Russians' extinction, may I live to see that day!

And this after all the help Russia/USSR gave to the Jews... how ungrateful. I'm just hoping not all Jews think like that.

Isn't India known as the "Land of Contradiction"?

He's probably pissed off about what happened to the Oligarchs.

I don't give a damn about the Oligarchs. As to the "help" we got from Russia, I mostly remember Chmielnitzky, the Okhrana's "Protocols", the Yevsektzia, the Doctor's trials, the T54/55, MiGs, the SA-6, AK47, the invention of the PLO, Birobidjan, Let my People Go, Scud missiles, Sarin, Kornet, Pamyiat and whatnot, in no particular order. To make it short, all this can accurately be pictured as large mounds of dead Jews piling up for an awfully long time.

So, you're right, very few Jews think like that, preferring instead to remember Mendeleiev, Maiakowski, Tchekhov, Ehrenburg, Stalingrad and Kursk, the liberation of Auschwitz, and a few things Gorbachev and Yeltsin did. Like most Westerners, we are blind, or at least extremely myopic, to who our enemies are, and the only reason for us to remove our pink goggles is to wipe them clean from time to time. Me, I never wear them, and I'm also known for being a rancorous and cantankerous old fart...

As to the Russians' extinction, it is not something I've ever wished for, it is a demographic fact which will result in our fiercest foes' population and culture being replaced by a more remotely antagonistic yet still hostile Central-Asian, mostly Muslim entity. There's no advantage for us in this happening, except for the moral satisfaction of seeing Divine Retribution finally dished out to a most deserving party. According to the Thora, I'm not supposed to rejoice in the fall of my enemies, but I might smirk slightly...

Then kindly shush. As you quite rightly pointed out, it was the Russians who liberated Auschwitz and, had it not been for the USSR, Israel the nation would likely not even exist today. Don't let an long string of stupid political decisions led by paranoid dogmatics taint your view of a whole people. In my country, it's called racism.
