  1. The bar is kind of low at the moment as the West’s great patron prepares to annex a NATO member.

  2. USSR to LATAM countries in the 80s: “we have money! And here are some amazing weapons we built in the 1950. Better than anything America has! You can down an F-18 with that thing!”

    Russia has been doing this for decades.

  3. LOL, At least Putin doesn’t take Greenland from his allies.

    And as if the West is much better in protecting Ukraine. Or taking care of ppl who worked for Americans in Afghanistan. Remember ppl falling off leaving airplanes? Or may be it was more successful in Vietnam? Or may be recently America was of great help to Pakistan?

    What point is the article trying to make at all?

  4. Let’s don’t forget Armenia. They are even member of the CSTO, but it showed to be totally useless in regards of Nagorno-Karabakh.
