Like in Israel, you have russians selling weapons to the enemy, carrying out a scorch-earth policy, and not formulating a sound and pragmatic solution to the problem. If the status quo is allowed to continue, both countries will see many of their soldiers being blown to bits. Russia is ten-times as worse because the gov't there rigs elections.
EDIT: Sadly, in Israel, the right-wing gov't solution to its current problem is to immigrate more jews to israel and they want the US to underwrite it. Crazy.
