Wait, what? Why would the Russia not threaten to roll an army down your neighbourhood if there was a war including it and your country?

Look for example at what they are doing in Mali.

Also, the Russia is the last of the European colonial empires that has not done anything at all to free its colonies. The other ones have have only done a part of it, but the Russia has not even started with it. Does colonialism not matter to you or what the heck?
