Notice that the Russian lady AC mentioned HISTORY and referred to WWII. One thing I learned about Russians a long time ago is that they have long memories and revere their heroes who fought in wars defending the Russian people and land. When you're defending your own loved ones and land, it is not the same as going off to fight in far away lands, as the US, Brits and NATO forces have done so often. For some odd reason, Europeans almost don't seem to have any memory of having been the battlefield for the two world wars and are itching to do it, again (with the exception of Hungary and Serbia). I find that absolutely astounding. They are being led by the nose by the US and Britain and are fine with it! How in the hell can that be? It's insanity. They HAVE a choice. Russia does not.
