Most of the permanent security consul are also the world's biggest arm sellers. So I doubt they care about stuff like laws.

Not really. They've been with some crappy armies that the US decided to fight cause they knew they were practically defenseless. But a lot of Russian weaponry is good in the right hands and as long as it's modern.

Migs are crap? MI-24's are crap? Russia builds some pretty solid weapons platforms. The ak is legendary for a reason.

Cause it stole it's design from a German weapon? Look at most Russian planes like the Mig 25: based off of f 15 eagle. Mig 21 legendary plane based off of a German design.

I still like Russian weaponry though.

Yes, Russia cares - just read the end of the text OP posted.

It is actually pathetic that Russia flushed its potential ally, but then we have a zero tolerance policy to the creation of nuclear weapons - and Tehran's behaviour was unreasonable.
