Shame they are so weak though, with the funding Putin has. Most countries no longer have any fear of Russia. I'm STILL waiting to see the harsh military actions in reply to anything done in Syria/Iraq and anywhere else Russia thinks they control. :laugh:

Well, I guess they do control some places, little places they can steal. Or control hitting airplanes with missiles.
