Russia DID great under Putin...that's reason you rooineks and yankees were disappointed with him,
you wanted early 1990s back, with your oligarchs plundering weak Russia
But you miscalculated, and now China fast-forwarded like 10 years and will surpass USA even faster
Btw, if Russia could do much with money spent on war, ask her what could USA do with 2000 000 millions USD
spent in Afghanistan...last I heard USA has even worse public services than Russia
