Russia is a super power. Russia don't need Belarus backing. Crimea was illegally taken from Russia and given to Ukraine by Khruschev. Russia had the right to take it back.

I seriously don't get how people can continue to claim the annexation of Crimea was legitimate when not even Russia's supposed ally China is willing to back the move.
Neither did Belarus.
Of course Russian apologists invoke the russiaophobe lie to undermine the truth and reality of it.

Russia had no right to take Crimea. On the basis of your logic the Germans should march into Kaliningrad (aka Konigsberg) as the place once belonged to them.
Russia doesn't need to project itself onto other nations as it already has enormous territories being the number one country on planet earth by a man mile. In addition to which Russia don't wage perpetual wars again towel head states. It defends it's own borders from a century of western sponsored holocaust against it. Considering the svonomic war being waged against it right now as ever, one can say Moscow is doings a great job in conditions imposed on it from an outside world heat is trying to snare it into destruction. Hats of to Put in for staying strong and continuing the fight against a war of evil outsiders

No, Russia is not a superpower. Their economy is in shambles and their projection is negligible.

Russia doesn't need aircraft carriers as it doesn't wage offensive wars against dark people overseas. It just defends it's own territory against asset strippers
