It’s called Russophobia. I don’t understand why the west is so intimidated and fearful of Russians. Oh yeah, they’re white, Christian and have a lot of energy. Boom.
Pakistan is not a country. It is a disaster zone. It is imploding
India has a long border with china. India is hedgi9ng its bets.
Belarus gets financial assistance form Russia.
Mali should be in the French camp. Obama screwed the pooch, when Obama flooded Mali with Libyan weapons.
South Africa is an apartheid state.
Nicaragua is a tough one for some Democrats. How do they reconcile their unrequited love for fascist leaders of Nicaragua with those leaders backing Russia?
Syria is not a country but a warlord domain. Iran, Russia, nor the Assads can keep ISIS out of Homs.
