I'm suggesting that Russia is right (also) based on the fact that they can kick Dubai's ass.

See, that's the problem with this "doctrine." It comes down to who can kick whose ass. I would have thought that several thousand years of history would have proven the folly of this as a political philosophy, especially in the post-nuclear age.
