When the Tsar sent his fleets to NYC and San Fran harbors in 1861 as a direct threat to England and France not to enterfer in the War between the States. In the Boxer Rebelion, in WW1 and WW2 and in Afghanistan. When Putin came out on record that he gave evidence on Saddam's hanky panky to Bush and when he defended Bush's war on TV and reminded our left media of the Kosovo blunder.

I'd say that's a pretty good start.

Here's an oldie but a goodie:

Maskhadov supports US and UK activities in Iraq
NEWS RU.com (3/28/2003)
Aslan Maskhadov expressed his support of the United States and Great Britain, whose efforts are directed toward the overthrow of a "cruel dictator", but called on Washington and the international coalition after their urgent undertakings, to resolve the Russian-Chechnyan conflict. This information was published by one of the Chechyan separatist agencies.
Chief the so-called political department of the ministry of foreign affairs of the unacknowledged republic of Ichkeriya Roman Halilov stated to the ANSA agency that "the war in Iraq raises many questions, but one can be expressed with the confidence: Saddam is a cruel dictator... and the international community has a right to challenge similar tyrants to answer for their actions".
"The Chechyan people offers to the people of Iraq their friendliest feelings and considers that the Iraqis, and all peoples of the world will win only if Saddam Hussein - a protege of the former communist USSR and KGB who is also openly supported by the Putin regime which wages genocide on the Chechnyan people - is cast down", added Roman Halilov.
This statement by Maskhadov caused sharp censure from the official government the Chechnyan Republic and by representatives of clergy.
