RE: Since WWII, Russian’s as a people are cowards.

Didn’t they defeat and stop Hitler’s advance? They dealt the Nazi’s one of their most disastrous loss in the Second World War.

Thanks to us.

According to Khrushchev Stalin himself privately stated “if we had had to deal with Germany one-to-one we would not have been able to cope because we lost so much of our industry.” Marshal Zhukov, perhaps the most important allied General of the war and arguably the 2nd most influential man regarding the Soviet war effort likewise said that without the aid (lend-lease) the Soviet Union “could not have continued the war.”

Yes, thanks to the U.S.A. and Studebaker trucks.

Yes they did and this is why I tried to make the point that their behavior SINCE world war II has been timid and/or non existent or very, very cautious. Afghanistan being one example of them just giving up and going home.

I think it is important to recognize that Russia is not a country with a strong military background since WWII. We need to be concerned and wary with them but not overly intimidated by them.
