Russia cannot send its forces under any sort of NATO command, given the very tense state of the relationship between Russia and NATO, states Vitaly Naumkin from the Institute of Oriental Studies.
FYI -- Alex ... your opinion and a handful of roubles will still not buy you a cup of coffee. Whereas few in the world dismiss the critical contributions and the sacrifice of 23-25 million Russians/Soviets during WWII, you must also remember, an etimated 75 million people died globally in WWII. So to dismiss the United States' contribution toward the final GLOBAL victory (as if it is nothing but a belief generated by American propaganda or something like that -- jeez)) -- including the $13 billion (A CERTIFIED FACT in 1940s dollars) in aid and weapons given to the USSR -- and not acknowledging America's significant contributions in defeating the Nazis in northern Africa, Italy, the liberation of France and western Germany -- NOT TO MENTION, being the largest single contributor to the defeat of the facist Japanese -- is well, SIMPLY IGNORANCE ON YOUR PART. And here lies the problem with such dated mentality -- and yes, most objective observers around the world few opinions like yours as nothing more than by-products of still deeply imbedded Soviet era propaganda. Seriously man, try and open up you mind once and for all -- give free thought a chance -- OK ... it will make you a better human being! I just spent 3 weeks in Russia visiting a handful of cities and thank God most Russians I spoke with were not as narrow minded as you -- WAKE UP DUDE -- it is the 21st century. The Cold War is over and so is your amazingly subjective mentality. GOD BLESS RUSSIA AND THE USA!
To say nothing of the Russian history in Afghanistan, even assuming they wouldn't create a backlash by virtue of being there I can see no good reason for Russia to send troops.










sending russian forces into afghanistan... are you **** ... let NATO clean up it's own mess... they are asking for help now .. but when it's all over .. they will try to steal the whole credit ones more just like after the WWII... lol .. the US thinks that it was only them who's defeated the Nazi Germany .. Japan and the others ..
