Putin's Interest in Iraq

Russia is making some connections within Iraq both politically and economically and Mohammed at Iraq The Model isn't too impressed with Russia's history or its intentions.

I don't like the Russians; they are known for their corrupt deals and the smell of their firms' scandals during the 'oil for food' program still stinks till this day and I think this more than enough reason to put them at the bottom of the list.

The question here is; did third world countries remain behind because they connected their interests with Russia, or, did Russia remain behind because of its involvement with the bad side of the third world?

Or, is it that losers naturally feel attracted to each other?

Zing!
