Russia is a major player in the world and that always commands a certain amount of respect even if you don't necessarily like them. If you spend a little time learning about the history of Russia then you would realize that going to war with them tends not to be survivable. Ask Napoleon and Hitler how that worked out for them. Contrary to what most Americans like believe it was Operation Barbarossa that broke Hitler's Germany during the Second World War.
Always respect a worthy opponent because it will keep you from doing something stupid.
