-Too late, isn¥t it? Wasn¥t the strategic partership with US that put Russia -in this dangerous situation? --- I really don't think the Kremlin views the US as much of a threat in Central Asia. ---

And the Russia budget is only 5% of US one (on -the other hand, it could be more if you use PPP values, which are useful in -this case since Russia produces essentially all of her weapons)
