Putin: ‘I Can Take Kiev in Two Weeks’

I don't know... I would guess three weeks would be more accurate.

Two weeks may be optimistic. But, if he wants to do it, no one is going to stop him.

We all see how that turned out.

Maybe, but will he like the UK bringing down his economy if he does? The world bankers can have his a$$ in a matter of weeks too. The only concern is will they act if the governments don’t?

Bush didn’t say it. Will Farrell or whoever played bush on SNL did. Sarah Palin can’t see Russia from her house, either.
