  1. It would destabalize Europe even further. Since the fall of the Soviet Union Russia has already invaded 3 European countries (Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine)
  2.  and they've fueled the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan. 
  3. .Moldova has been partially occupied for over 24 years now, 
  4. .Georgia has been partitioned by Russia and Russia is still waging an active war against Ukraine on a daily basis, while also annexing a part of Ukraine.
  5. Such a relationship would come under Russia's terms, because Russia simply doesn't negotiate.
  6. . It's always their way or no way.
  7. . This could be things such as less American influence in the Middle East and Asia, leaving them to fall under Russia's influence.
  8.  It might even mean America would have to abandon Eastern Europe, which could seriously lead to a Russian invasion into the Baltics, which could seriously mean World War 3.
  9. . Russia has been growing increasingly aggressive towards Europe in recent years, such as the war against Ukraine, setting up huge propaganda campaigns aimed at destabalizing Europe and they're outright financing anti-EU and pro-Russia parties. Less pro-EU parties & more pro-Russia parties make a 
  10. possible invasion into the Baltics a whole lot easier.

1. Moldova http://www.politico.eu/article/moldova-elects-pro-russian-igor-dodon-as-president/ 

Georgia http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/georgia/10409344/Georgia-elections-Russia-welcomes-new-president-Giorgi-Margvelashvili.html

Ukraine is in big trouble right now, hard to tell what will happen in the future.

2. No, they did actually the opposite. Armenia and Azerbaijan has a really difficult relatiosnhip

4. Is is not that simple u want it to be.

Crimea  was never a part of Ukraine. It is ( was ? ) a Autonomus Republic

5.  Of course not. Russia negotiate with every country. Even USA back in the days when it was a global supreme power have to negotiate sometimes. Here are the glimpse.

6. Sure, 75% price drop in oil prices, sanctions, GDP loss, first budget deficit  since 2008 crisis etc was " their way or no way "

7. Russia influnce in Middle East - maybe ( Arab nations in general are very weak and divided, they dislike each other a lot and there is a fucking Isreal between all of them and Russia can play on it ) but in Asia - not gonna happen. Asia is going to be a China's sphere and that is what USA is afraid of. 

8. Pribaltika is meaningless for Russia - Kaliningrad is enough to make Russia happy ( it block the Baltic sea ). Do u really think that countries with 1.5 K army can do anything ? :D

USA would have to abandon Eastern Europe - maybe. USA biggest enemy is China and if they want to defeat them somehow they will have to make an alliance with Russia.

9. USA influence in Europe is vainishing, they focus on Asia now. As u can read in the link above, USA have to make Russia at least neutral if they want to defend their position againts China. So maybe they will make some sort of a deal.

10. Possible Russian invansion into the Baltics.. - they will defend themselfes 3-5 days.
