Kent posts: "We (the US) have initiated far more wars than Russia in the past 3 decades."

That statement is Correct and True.

Widget replies: Excuse me? List of conflicts in territory of the former Soviet Union:

Points of fact:

1 The Soviet Union Dissolved at the end of 1991, 33 years ago, well within Kent's specified time frame. Nothing in this list is applicable to Kent's post.

Secondly, a List of conflicts in territory of the former Soviet Union is an area considerably larger than Russia, with a lot of Non-Russians starting those conflicts in Non-Russian areas.

Thirdly, the comments disingenuously conflate the period of the Soviet Union's initiating conflict with the last 30 years of Russian response to Chechen initiated wars.

Fourth, there is NO Excuse for you, Widget.
