Russia handled a number of chillies like chechnya,khiva,bukhira,caucusus,tatars,ottomans in the past.it destroyed sharks like nazi germans , allied american intervention and white russians in the civil war and the eastern mongol khanates .I have no doubts about what Russia can do and what kind of creature it is .A very Saturnian nation ,if you want to compare Russia with a animal then the mythical dragon or basilisk ,or Tyrannous Rex is more apt rather than the Bear.
Yes,I know.I also know well how many wars ottoman turks lost to russia and the number of muslim territories that Russia seized.
The cost of producing shale gas is high. Azerbaijan and Israel might deliver gas to EU, but Turkmenistan will sell majority of it to China . Russia already diversifying to China.Google ESPO.
So as you said russia is greatest ever country in the world
shale gas is too expensive thats why china , india and usa stupid to expense for it ,
If you like to be proud with russia's cruality on places you called well i had better not going to discussion with you
You justice us with just fake genocide or armenians ( not proven yet with files ) but everybody sees how russia cruel on places (in past time )
About shale gas, everybody sees russia's concerns to loose its market
China has quite a lot sources of shale gas either , india does, eu does is that why russia playing games to cause instability on east mediterrenean area? so that pipeline projects till be suspended ?
oh about Ottomans, its easy to fight in weakest time , do you think russia stopped nazi germany? So usa was playing with toys during WWII?
Oh and when did you beat USA down? What else russia do in world except of supporting cruel leaders ?
Sisi , assad , nkorea
Its not like the Turks never beat russia. They used to pay tributes to the Golden Horde. In 1571 we burned down moscow under the leadership of Devlet Giray. We won many other wars aswell but the list is to large to put here. Either way now we are in 2014 and now the Turks and Russians cooperate on many levels.
Turkey and Russia seems to be partners for profit , like they have to be partner and need each other .
The reason i dont like some russian and american they believes they are leader of world, have right to do anything , have right to kill anybody (like americans defende vietnam massacre, atom bombs to japan, russia defends their tortures and cruelity on middle easter countries )
But somehow, some people from both countries are nice and can accept something by talking logically
