Well, Russia armed Iraq to the teeth and even had advisers there while we attacked, and it took us what, one month to spank them?
Russia struggled for eleven years to take Afghanistan and FAILED, and it took us what, two weeks to do the job?
Russia sucks in the military might department. Did you see how grabasstic and befuddled the Russians soldiers looked during the Beslan horror?
I'm not worried about Russia arming Saudi Arabia.
Neither is competent. Neither can be trusted. Neither is our friend.
Both can go pack sand.

It does seem like the Russians take a huge number of casualties against what would seem like lesser opponents. They have never done very well when it comes to war. They will take 5 kills to get 1 kill over an untrained lesser armed terrorist.

And the Soviets were using methods there that we never would and still could'nt pull it off.
