And how does the American media treat Russia? If you have any idea depth of knowledge with regards to history and actual events that occurred in South Ossetia and Abkhazia I think it is fair to say the American media doesn't treat Russia too fairly either. Or should we also wind back to Obama's interview with O'Reilly in which he more or less agrees with O'Reilly when he stats that Putin is a 'nasty nasty' character?

Russia packed up and left how many nations peacefully and quietly? And what do they get in return? NATO in their face and hostility. Indeed Putin is a dictator, and far from a perfect character, nor is the nation, but America should be careful not to push them into the cold again. Russia is a friend of Europe and in turn the US, all the really want is some motherfucking respect in their own region. When Russia starts deploying missiles in Mexico and supporting a Latin American socialist military bloc than I think you might finally understand what the US has done to them.

They don't appreciate it, and while the US could wipe them off the map in theory, Russia knows with its nuclear weapons, Europe's reliance on energy and an unwillingness to accept large numbers of deaths of soldiers in the US or Europe it will never happen. So why the fuck shouldn't they push back and demand that the US respect their interests?
