First of all, Russia has a GPD less than that of the State of California.

Russia’s GDP is just above that of Australia.

Australia has 24,000,000 people
Russia has 144,000,000 people

Russia is a Third World basket case.

Russia is a Third World basket case.

We should fear them because ... they are a "Third World basket case"? I think we have bigger things to fear, such as people posting on the Internet who clearly don't read the message topic before replying.

Posters in a civilized country like Russia would never do such a thing.
