Russia, well Putin is very pro US, a G8 nation, etc. They are also the only European nation that has stood up to the Islamic terrorists (in Chechenya). The thing is that arms are (just like in the US) about a third of the Rusian economy. THey sell oil and build weapons, and basically the local governmentgs and social services depend about 50% on the local sale of vodka...that's about what they have going for them, vodka, oil, gas, and weapons, so it's no surprise that they will take any little thing as an excue to fire up the factories..that doesn't mean that they will ever be ued against americans, the Russians were our allies in WW2 and for all intents and purposes were throughout the cold war and are to this day, the Rusians do not have any love for Muslims, thank G-d.
Let's take glimpse on Russian drinking history and traditions.
In XI Century Kiev Price Vladimir feeling a necessity to strengthen statehood in pagan Russia decided to introduce a new strong religion. He met Moslem messengers and favored much a heterogamic family traditions (Harem). But when Prince Vladimir was told, that Allah does not allow drinking, he said, that Russians will not understand such religion. In this way Russia accepted a Christianity, which allows drinking.
Mr Crumley put it even better, he said:
"Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl."
Russia = good IMHO
