Russia could supply military aircraft to Nato - Feb 11 09

Sergei Lavrov, Russia's foreign minister, has said that Moscow may offer its military aircraft to help supply Nato-led soldiers fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan, a move that Nato would welcome.

His comments came during talks in Moscow between Russian and European officials.

nothing wrong here--preparing the coffins is usual result of a military collaboration between 2 countries\\\\

@MrRob77 I am tired of it too. To be honest i don't even know why i said that, it was awhile ago.

@shipoopi92 Arrogance = defeat. I am tired of my country being the world's police force w/o help. Who pays for it? Who dies? Our soldiers do. NATO = multiple nations population 700m, Russia = 1 nation population 200m, obviously we collectively can out produce them. Russia can outproduce the UK, Israel, France, etc. So, what was your point? We don't need.......I don't need $1m but I would like to have it.

@kawii105 All crap is, well crap. I am an American, and a damn proud one, but to assume that we are the only country capable of producing effective weaponry is absurd. Confidence and pride are good things, but ethnocentrism and arrogance lead to underestimations and embarrassments. Don't count the red bear out, AK47s are still used nearly worldwide and are over 60 years old. I am tired of us being the world's sole police force without any help. I welcome this.

@RackJacket There is a mutual fear on both sides of the Cold War. USA and The Russian Federation have never gone beyond taunting and attempting intimidation because of this. Both sides are powerful, but to say that there are NATO countries, EXCLUDING the USA which "ruin anyone's day" is ridiculous. There is a mutual respect, but also a mutual distrust from Washington and Moscow that has existed since the 1930's.
