Supposedly he's our ally in the War on Terror

Yep key word here is supposedly. He has never done anything to combat either AL Quaida or the goons that commited the Beslan murder. I hate the way the MSM and even our own government portrays Russia and China as allies in the War on Terror. China is arming terrorist nations with nuclear weapons and supports North Korea while Russia has done nothing at all to combat terrorism.

China our ally? In the War on Terror? China isnt our ally. Not in the WOT, not in trade, nothing.

They should be considered a hostile, dangerous rival at least, and I would even say they are an open enemy of the US. The war just hasnt started yet.

The reason Russia is considered an ally in WOT, though a rather tepid, unreliable one, is that Russia helped us in Afghanistan (no doubt they were eager to see the jihadis who had defeated them get their asses kicked) and also, Russia has been the victim of many Islamic terror attacks, so the US and Russia have that in common.

However, IMHO, the Russians have responded weakly to devastating attacks upon them.

That is a bald faced lie. My wife's nephew is in the Russian Spetsnaz and just returned from his fourth tour in the Chechen area fighting terrorists. Putin also helped the US secure bases near Afghanistan in order for us to assault the country. Additionally, he has provided the US with intelligence most do not see.
