We need Russia as a friend especially around security. Do u remember when they trained our soldiers? they were the most feared in the continent. This time rather then having that relationship again, we need to learn research side of security, we need a strict economy around this for our longevity sakes.
Do not listen to anyone who tells you that your independent if you cannot secure yourself. Securing yourself doesn't mean having the same weapons that other nations have. You need an edge and the edge is 'research' side to keep abreast of new military knowledge. Economy isn't as important as security, once security is gone, everything is gone.
So our friends should be prioritized first for security before development. Our security friends have priority over any economic incentive. Their trying to bribe Russia with oil/gas deals also, why would they when they have a strong history in the security field. We should ask if our nation can be taken under their wing so we can become independent in handling our security for the foreseeable future.
There is not much we can offer them that they don't already have besides maybe our location. They have everything else in abundance such as minerals and oil. I don't know what Russia foreign policy is truly but this will mean we need to get in-line also.
