So this past month Russia’s been flexing its muscles. What’s going on guys? It’s great and all watching Russia almost looking cool and mighty again, but you’re afraid of the backlash the International community is going to unleash. Russians aren’t that dumb, I don’t think they’d strike out if by doing so will make them worse off. Are the bluffing or do they really have a trap card in play, or are they just being very clever?

I realise how western media is often biased and such, and I think Russia is aware of that and actually capitalising on the media’s poor reputation, so that it would appear as just another victim of media bias.
