In other words, forces you to build a pro-Russian strategy.
I've never been a big fan of the "friendly neighbor" camp in overall strategy. Maybe its a taint from my current play as England (where a war with France is as inevitable as the tides), but I like my friends standing on the other side of the frontier, and never sitting right on my borders.
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
