Screw them - the ink is still drying from all of the signed oil deals we made for their oil last year. This is a few things lumped in together, light jabs of revenge for the US being vocal over Chechnya (would be heavy jabs if not for our coming together over terrorism) but mainly an opportunity to boost Russia's global prominience a bit in conjunction with France & Germany while at the same time knocking us down a peg or two.
The ironic bit is not only their refference to the Marshall Plan but also their vocal critism of "Might makes Right". If it was not for that, the SU would never have been the dominant force that they were..
Carl - good line!
