Yeah they are trying to bleed the US. Which is why we are playing the diplomatic card making russia look stupid for helping the jihadist in Iran with nuclear tech. Getting slapped in the face by Iran with the enrichment propasal in russia was also a plus.What the US should do is just focus on where we are commited and tell the "parties" involved that if a nuclear attack is launched on US forces in the region or Israel we will respond with overwhelming counter strikes to all the "parties" involved.We all know who the "parties" are in this little game.Russia will either be dhimmis to islam in the future or lackeys of the Chinese. They have chosen their anti-democratic/anti-western path and we should let them wallow in it.

I very doubt it.

As far as I learned here on FR. Unted States are not democracy but republic. SO why you blame Russia for nondemocratic if USA is not either? Russia is republic too.
Pro-westren path is to b ein wake of west countries. Russia cann't be that way. Look Ukraine for this. They gladly will follow someone wake. Russia is too independent for that.

If someone whant to bleed out US then US govement in first place. It was US goverment who waged so expensive and not very succesfull war in Middel east which cost very dearly to US tax payers. You need to look in right direction if seek those who tried rightfully to bleed US. Mybe neocon blunders?
Russia is guilty in thing that she refrain to participate in such blunder. But Russia participted in Afgan war in 2002 on side of USA. And someone told here that she paticipation was helpful. Or you already forgot?
