Zastava, have you ever stopped to think why most people with any level of maturity don't really like Russia? Because historically those guys were bad news. A lot of countries who were supported by the US are anti-American now because of socialist movements but often these folks are the generation that never actually got help from America. The generation that actually was there when America came to save the day are still grateful.
The Eastern Europeans who directly were under the control of the Russians HATE Russia almost without exception (well maybe with the exception of Belarus who are actually Russian anyway). If you look at it, the only people in the former Soviet Republics who like Russia are actually ethnic Russians who live there.
So before you start saying you'll side with them for being under represented, why don't you do some research? You might as well go on and support the Taliban and Al Qaeda because they seem to be VERY underrepresented right now. Or any of the despotic dictatorships in Africa.

The T-90 might not be the T-72s that Iraq had in '91, but remember that the M1A2 and the new line of Leos aren't exactly the M1s, M1A1s and M60 MBTs that rolled into Iraq in '91 either.
