I wouldn't count on seeing any Russian Troops anyplace in the country anytime soon . . The Russians don't want to stick their noses in any hornet's nest, and if the Sh*t hit the Fan here, that's what it would be . .
You haven't seen the Russians put Boots on the Ground in any country's civil war since Afghanistan. They're content with the sales of weapons to despots.
The Americans are the dumb ones who have now done what the Soviet Union did back in the late 80's . . bankrupted the country by spending more than they had . . The difference is that the Soviet union never had any money, and we have blown all of ours . . .
