All in all, Sochi pulled it off just fine, although the Western media tried to convince people otherwise.

There were a few snafus at the outset but I must say Russia pulled off its first Winter Olympic Games as an independent country.

I would like to see the Summer Olympic Games come to St. Petersburg one day.

Later this year, the Russian Grand Prix Formula One returns after 100 year absence!

There is military draft in Russia, and now, as we speak, the glorious Olympic champions are putting on their Red Army uniforms getting ready to march on the rebellious republic of Ukraine! That’ll show ‘em!

Yep, they pulled it off. Putin looked like a leader on the world stage while Obama pouted in a closet somewhere.
