[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5836067, member: 24302"] Russia is at a stalemate after 2 years with a much smaller country. Has lost a half million men already. Russia isn't the Industrial powerhouse that Nazi Germany was. Nor does it have the allies Germany had. A much smaller population than the combine NATO countries and nowhere near the industrial capacity. It's just not feasible that Russia is going to attack NATO. We'd be better served developing good relations with Russia and develop their economy and political system to where they're just one of many European nations(most of their population is in the European portion of the country). Putin isn't going to be around forever. Stop being their boogeyman trying to conquer them and maybe we'll stop seeing them as the boogeyman too. Trouble is we always need boogeymen to justify everything we're doing. And so do they. We had a chance with Yeltsin and blew it. [/QUOTE]
