Goldman Sachs has an office in Moscow. So do Citigroup and Morgan Stanley. JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America Merrill Lynch, too.
Russia was supposed to be a growth market for Wall Street. It is quickly turning out to be a potential financial nightmare and a political hot potato.

I have both served in them, and against them.
Tell me what Onyx Yakhont is. You have 30 seconds and no Googling.
No. I am not denying that I said that. In fact, I am the Station Chief in the Ukraine.

I TOLD you.
Hey, Herr Schtirlitz, you can’t defect Das Reich so openly! maintain radio silence at least!:)
DarthVader for the win. Obviously DV does this stuff in real life, and ansel does not.
Onyx Yakhont is the P-800 (NATO designation: SS-N-26) Super Sunburn Anti-Ship missile.

Their force is smaller and weaker, and with no ability to conduct major invasions like they were built for when they were a massive military force.
You know zilch. Tell me what the P-700 is.
