I love the fact Russia is having these exercises,that will end on July 6,the date Obama arrives in Moscow.This military exercise,being of a scale comparable to those of the Soviet era,sends a great message to Obama,a Russian Enemy,and his NATO Alliance,that I consider a dangerous treat,the rest of the World must stop.I also love the fact,part of these WAR exercises are taking place,at Russian Bases in South Ossetia and Abkhazia,with the armies of those independent Republics.It is time Russia with SCO and other allies,stand together and send a united message,to this NATO organization,to send all their troops back to their barracks,and never again interfere with others anywhere in the World. The time has come for all Humanity to become Free,from the Imposed Oppression and Suffering,inflicted by this Alliance,that as of today continues tormenting all Humanity.I am sure the Russian President is well prepared to deal with Obama on their negotiations as well all other small leaders that are part of the NATO Alliance. My best regards manuel

Nato came out of its barracks due to 9/11 and the Soviet made weapons is no match for the West. Even India says no thanks to their junk! Santos? You Mexican/Spain? America and it's NATO allies is what keeps you safe at night. How soon people forget of Soviets naked aggression in Europe after WW2.

Wyllie, India is still buying most of its weapons from Russia, while diversifying to include American weapons in its military. Of course the Soviet made weapons are no match for the west. The Soviet Union has not existed for almost twenty years. On the other hand, new Russian technology such as the S-400 surface to air missile system or the Mig-31BM are certainly a match for any NATO equipment. As for as South and Central America goes, the US had supported coups by dictators and oppression of the Latin American people by these dictators. The CIA participated in Operation Condor, in which Latin American tyrants killed hundreds of thousands of civilian dissenters. Elsewhere around the world, the USA has propped up dictators in Iran and created the Taliban. USA also supported West Pakistan during its war against India after West Pakistan committed genocide in Bangladesh. Are you really so ignorant as to think that USA is the protecting third world countries?
