The solution to this whole mess is a simple one: Tell Mother Russia to stuff her claim in her ear. Then go back to watching Russia try to rebuild itself into the failed monstrosity that the old Soviet Union was. When they get to that same critical mass of spending money to try to keep up with America that they hit in early '80's, they'll fall apart like a house of cards (for the third time). Russians are power-hungry drunks who are still pissed off that they sold us Alaska for pennies on the acre, that they never figured out to keep up with Europe during the 1700-1800s empire building efforts and because an ex-actor turned politician showed them that America is the single greatest nation on the planet. Now, go back to forgetting to how to have sex (link) and drinking bad Vodka.
