Russia & China are getting along well, eh ...., page-77

Your original comment was that the US beat Russia in the cold war

Whether Russia existed before was not the issue

The fact is that during the Cold War it was the USSR - which was then a conglomerate of numerous soviets of which Russia was one of them.

During this time (the cold war) - Russia was a physical land mass but did not have the sovereignty of a country

That's me over and out
Get over it kat
