Boy I hope so. The three most powerful nations in the world, and the russians don't care how the international community feels about them. We could make them a nice deal, we'll take Iraq and Afganistan they can have Iran and Syria.

The UK is the best ally although strong arguments can be made for Australia.  Israel, Japan, and Poland are strong allies as well.  Not that you asked but I'd say Canada is currently our worst ally.  France, Germany, and those ilk don't really count as worst *ally* because they are not truly allies any longer.

Russia.  Still has the making of a powerful military, but in complete shambles, easier to conquer.  Also rich in natural resources and fuel for the supplies I would need.

Pretty much a bad one.  Extreme official corruption--still plagues the people of that region today.  They polluted the land terribly--many heavy metals are buried throughout the region--not to mention the tragedy of Chernobyl.  The leaders of the Soviet Union also were responsible for mass murder--e.g. the forced starvation of Ukraine by Joseph Stalin in the 1930's still has repercussions today.  On a more positive side, they did have a pretty good educational system--the people are very well educated, especially in math & sciences--and the Arts did not die under their suppression.

There is no USSR. Are you referring to Russia?

The USSR invaded Afghanistan, but never captured it as you claimed. That is because the United States assisted the Afghanis against Russia. After all, Russia was our enemy at that time in the cold war and the Afghanis had done nothing to warrant an attack. In return for our assistance, Bin Laden decided to bite the hand that fed him and turn on America in his quest to commit terrorist acts. Is it wrong to try to help someone and be a friend? Is it Americas fault that Bin Laden wanted to commit terrorist acts against us? Just goes to show that you can nothing to help these people. They are the enemy of the world. And you are a stupid jackass!

I hope so, since it is a Communists society - Russia, Germany under Hitler, Japan during WWII. \n\nI do think we lack respect & pride in our country.

Russia might have same ambitions as the erstwhile USSR, but it is certainly not the same power as USSR, economically, technically and most importantly politically. \n\nAnd I think this is a fact that no one can deny now. Also, the problems with other breakaway nations of USSR has made it weaker.

The harsh reality is that greater good can come from a deferential or friendly relationship between the US and Russia.  US support for the Chechen people would seriously harm this relationship which in turn would harm stability in the world.  Though not comforting, the US and the world is not interested in another US-Russia confrontation.  Do the Chechens suffer?  Yes.  Does the US (government or people) approve of how Russia has treated the Chechens.  No.  But in a system of sovereign states, powerful countries are given the latitude to do bad things.  As many know, the US has its own list of cruelties (Native-Americans, Japanese Americans during WWII) though at least there is a recognition today that it was wrong.  Perhaps some day Russia will condemn its own actions in regards to their treatment of the Chechens.

WHY DO???huh?  I'm American and I'm not afraid of Russia.   Vladamir Putin is a commie hell bent on making Russia a commie country again, but that's been proven time and time again that communism/socialism just doesn't work.  Sooo, really, there is nothing to be afraid of, I don't know WHY you think this.

I would say the Mongols.  C'mon, an empire that could subjugate Russia for years...that's amazing.\nOf course, you might also say the Soviet Empire of late, terrified many around the world with the thought not just of wiping out cities, but perhaps entire continents, pretty scary.
