How will a stronger bolder Russia help make world a bit more peaceful and balanced?

Question

isnt this what sort of has led to the chaos of recent years ...cowboy diplomacy, for the heck of it etc????

Answer 1

russians cannot be trusted, for one they are dirty for two their leader is the former head of the KGB when they were communist. If they annex Georgia they are back to regimist ways if not then i think the answer is yes.

Answer 2

If russia wants to re-estabilish its empire, then let them.  they will over extend themselves in the russian step countries and will weaken themselves in the process.  Hopefully, the locals who got a taste of freedom will fight back and make it easier for the west to mop the floor with russias butt.  Thats just theoretical, and I hope it doesnt happen.

Answer 3

Although Russia has gained a lot of finance with oil and gas and is rebuilding its forces it is still fundamentally weak and the war in Georgia was supposed to make it look strong and powerful.

However having stated there could be no ceasefire they then had to capitulate and cease hostilities in the face of Western pressure.

Therefore they have in fact underlined that they lack the nous to behave like a super power, made the wrong decision and made themselves look small in the eyes of the West!

Russia entered a loose, loose situation and lost!

Answer 4

well, duh. they'll bomb all the unpeaceful motherf#ckers to smithereens.
