why do they act what way? the same way they've acted for almost 1000 years?
why do people always expect someone from somewhere else to share the same world views, the same perspectives, have the same concerns and same fears?
did you grow up in the equivalent of the boy scouts... only instead of tying knots, you were learning to disassemble and reassemble AK-47's? singing songs about war and killing around the camp fire?
they are acting this way for the same reason they went into Georgia... because after 15 years of being broke and having to suck the worlds cock for cash, they are in the black economically, saved up tons of cash from high oil prices and are now in a position to re-assert themselves as a power to be reckoned with and respected. it's something that appeals to Russians at home who have been totally humiliated through and after the fall of communism
note to Americans ... free elections, Capitalism and Free Markets don't fix all problems in a country and make everyone automatically start seeing things your way.
