Anyone wondering what Western leaders have been up against when they try to reason with Vladimir Putin need only read the transcript of the Russian ruler’s three-hour performance at the annual Valdai conference in Sochi on Friday. Mr. Putin was politely questioned by an assortment of Moscow-approved foreign journalists, scholars and former policymakers about Russia’s aggression in Ukraine—and out poured a poisonous mix of lies, conspiracy theories, thinly veiled threats of further aggression and, above all, seething resentment toward the United States.
“Having declared itself the winner of the Cold War,” the United States, with the help of “its satellites,” according to Mr. Putin, promoted a “unipolar world [that] is simply a means of justifying dictatorship over people and countries.” According to Mr. Putin, Washington has created chaos across the world by conspiring to foment revolutions, including what he views as an armed “coup d’état” in Ukraine. Even worse, it believes “there is no need to take into account Russia’s views.”
Mr. Putin portrayed the invasion of Crimea as the corrective to this “imperialism.” “The bear will not even bother to ask permission,” he boasted. …

Is the Ruskie losing it? Is that a waaaaaambulance just around the corner?
If we keep putting leftists and or metrosexuals like 0bama in office, the Russians(and anyone else that wants to) will dominate us. As a nation, we will get what we deserve...
Pootie been sippin’ the potato skin drippin’s again.
So “more flexibility” means about as much to Putin as “most transparent” means to Americans.
Obama has made a mess or U.S./Russian relations. If Putin slides toward old USSR ways it will be partly the fault of the Obama administration.
Bwhahahahah!!
As I understand it, Russia is laying claim to essentially whatever parcels it wants for oil development in the Arctic.
øbola seems lethargic, or it somehow fits in with his enemy islamism.
Not partly; Completly. (Pleas ignor speling)
the Ruskies know it is now or never.
WaPo, yet another of globalism’s sheeple mind control efforts.
WaPo, why don’t you do more stories on the Federal government spying on Americans ?
WaPo, why don’t you do more stories on how much heroin is being grown in Afghanistan ?
This sheeple is tired of hearing the old “foreign threat” song that you sing on behalf of your global bankster buddies.
The Arctic is resource rich and the US has no cahonies. Our children will pay the price for the present poor leadership.
Our children will pay any price globalist financial elite criminals say they will pay, unless the elites are dislodged from power.
Those criminals control the markets for commodities, including slaves, drugs and gold, and the US government is their vassal through which they govern us sheeple.
Russia is simple another subsidiary nation of the elites, who financed the killing of the Tsar and his entire family, stole what he had in banks outside of Russia, and instituted the slavery government over the Russian people.
The operation was largely run out of 120 Broadway in New York City. “President” Woodrow Wilson provided Trotsky with an American passport to enter Russia.
The top power elite of America call the shots globally except that they have this understanding with their counterparts in the UK. That’s the “special relationship” George W. Bush spoke of when “the Queen” visited the White House. Communist sympathies pervade UK elites just as much as “free market” principles. The financiers behind the “throne” have all the true power, as they can “make things happen” like no one else can. Political leaders are only in power as long as they serve the financial elites to their satisfaction.
You think we are going to go to war over Ukraine? Or Poland?
Even if the victims are Nato members, we will find a way to appease them.
We squandered our opportunity to be the Cold War victor. I dread what is coming next.
If you were Putin, how would you handle øbola?
I’d be kicking him around too.

Yes, of course I think Poland would mean that we would have to slap down the Russian pretender, and I think he knows that.
Putin is just trying to get away with what he can, he knows that he doesn’t have the muscle or the economy, or the Eastern and internal security to actually fight NATO.
I’m not Putin.
Oh great! Russia is ruled by a paranoid power-mad megalomaniac and America is ruled by a metrosexual muslim malignant narcissist.
What could possible go wrong?
What I like about the Washington Post is it’s unbiased, accuracy without agenda.
