Yep the Russians are counting coup on us just like the Indians did. They know they will not be fired on.
Lets see if they continue these antics after Trump takes office. :-)
Since you mention President Trump...
I think they’re doing this now because they know that once The Donald becomes CIC, the game’s over - the world will once again be faced with a White House that means business.
When Trump is President—Russia and the USA will be allies, looking forward to good vodica, good caviar, and Russian Dancers. Both nations need each other—we both have many of the same enemies. Screw Europe and China. Trump and Putin can cut up the world into zones of Influnce for all I care.
