Edit: The Western powers should totally kick Russia out of the G8 and give its place to Brazil or China. (Though while we're at it, Italy is looking pretty weak too...just sayin...)

Canada
France
Germany
Italy
Japan
Russia
United Kingdom
United States

We should replace Italy with Brazil.

Did World War III start yet? No? I'm leaving, then.

Russia is one of 5 countries with Veto power in the UN 😬

I agree on that, but I also think it's ludicrous that the second largest economy isn't represented. Surely they could occupy the "we're not a Westernized nation with your gay-friendly democracy" role that Russia seems to fulfill currently

If that's in reply to me, I should point out that the G8 and UNSC are completely unrelated, thus Russia's veto power is irrelevant to the matter.

Personally I think Germany should get that seat.

Germans are strong versus Russians, except when Mother Winter buff is applied to the latter.

Burn.

Or in this case "Freeze"

It was in relation to the fact that Ukrainian temporary goverment asked UN for help..

and Russia can veto whatever UN decides 😬 [what they've done a lot, back in USSR ages.. and later a bit less, but still]

Polish army was the only one to conquer moscow.. in 17th century.. 😬 maybe they were cold-resistant.

Napoleon took Moscow (though the Russians set it on fire during their retreat), he was just forced out by winter, lack of supplies, a persistent guerrilla effort by the Russians, and trouble back home.

And lets not forget the Mongols, who for a few centuries kept Muscovy as a pet.

Russians make a big deal about the vastness and impenetrability of their country to make up for the fact that historically their armies have been shit.

Russia is superior. The Soviet Union Советский Союз was the greatest empire on earth

Not even trying anymore.

Playing as Russia in Axis and Allies is like being a naked dwarf in a Turkish prison, cuz they are so weaksauce.
