According to experts, if a government hostile to Moscow's interests comes to power in Belarus or Armenia (as Russia's main regional allies), Russian intervention is quite possible. Despite its relatively small global economic footprint, Russia has engaged in more military interventions than any other U.S. competitor since the end of the Cold War. This is stated in the report “Russia's Military Interventions. Patterns, Drivers, and Signposts”, by the American think tank RAND Corporation.
