Is this Russia's current plan for relevance?
Russia:
Cold war ends. Establish a democratic state. Attempt to become a world economic power leveraging your large industrial base and natural resources.
Crap. It's still all really corrupt. That didn't work.
Hmmmm. How to be relevant.
I know! Invade any weak looking neighbours, and reclaim our status as unpredictable nut jobs with nukes so people will pay attention to us again!
