1. The USSR could have stayed in the country for as long as they wanted to as well. They just didn't see a point in staying around fighting guerrillas who were obviously funded by the US. That and the bombings did help Assad find his footing again. 

2. Like the missiles who were far less efficient yet their range and ability to down fighters was equal or superior to the advanced tech the US was able to field at the time (this doesn't count new technology). By the way, the Russians beating the tar out of people when outnumbered is hardly news. This shit has helped Russia wins actual conflicts before. 

3. Chechen Wars? You mean the ones were they decimated everyone back into FARC wannabees when they got their act together after Putin seized power?

 

Oh it isn't. When NATO admits they have no way to respond to a Russian invasion, it sort of highlights how brutal they are able to be. Anything else is nothing but hubris. And I know they are no saints as well, but in a world where those two are either busy with each other or gone, I am happier... 

1- Russia had no means of staying in Afghanistan. They had no logistical or military capability of sustaining more and more battle losses. It's not that they didn't want to, they couldn't. Those missiles provided by CIA and the idiot Texas senator utterly destroyed Russia's superiority.

2- Russia were outnumbered by Finnish Army? No. Chechens Rebels? No. Even Nazis? No.

Actually, they used their population to buy them time and opportunity to kick an already debilitated Wehrmacht down. And remember US's aid to Russia to mechanize their military because they were still using horses and bayonette. 

3- After they got their act together? You mean after they bomb the eff out of Chechen civilians and lost upwards of 14,000 Red Army, contractors and Spetsnaz lives?

NATO couldn't meddle in Georgia's business with Russia because the benefit was outweighed by economic chaos that a war with Russia would ensue. Imagine if Russia stepped into Germany doors...

1. Russia left because they had no way of staying around and doing anything other than standing by idly until someone attacked something important. You can't root out terrorists. The US couldn't, why would the USSR have done any better? Short of glassing the country, of course! 

2. Great Purge, no funding and crushing your enemy don't really count... Seriously, read on your history to find out why the first was a loss, why the second was a loss of time until they regrouped and why the last one also ended up turning into a complete switcheroo. 

Oh and omit the five year plans, they obviously had nothing to do with how the USSR wasn't wiped out from the face of the Earth by using HORSES! 

Did you even read what you posted? 

3. There was no Red Army after the dissolution of the USSR. This is Russia, not the RED ARMY! 

If Russia stepped into Germany's doors, it'd take the US and Britain to kick them out.
