I lived through the Cod War. I Hake to say it, but from my Perch it really looked like the world was my Oyster, even for a Shrimp like me.
Putin lecturing on Civilisation. That’s like LeBron James lecturing on quantum information theory.
Name one great piece of literature to come out of Putin’s Russia. Name one international company that pays dividends since inception. Name one popular hit song recorded in the Russian language. Name one successful international IPO. Name one successful international film. Ok, it’s Russia. Name the best selling vodka they export to the rest of the world.
Crap country that is about to lose its East to China, solely on the basis of demographics. Good job, Pooty-poot. Enjoy your $13,000.00 Blancpain, you have failed precisely because you bought high end watches instead of plowing the proceeds from your commodity rich nation back into the next generation’s opportunities and education.
Was he shirtless when he said this ?
sounds a little fishy to me
Heh.
THIS is “civilization”?
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY?
Who knew?
“Those of us who lived through the Cod War are familiar of having to contemplate annihilation.”
I made it through the Cod War with lots of tartar sauce.
Malt vinegar for me. LOL
Unless I’m mistaken, didn’t the Obama Administration unilaterally and voluntarily reduce the American nuclear arsenal at a time when other nations were creating and/or building theirs? If so, leading by retreating looks like a bad policy to me.

Good thing you didn’t jump the shark.
I’m herring what you say, and in tuna with you. Somehow I’m not as angler as I once was. And I’ll betta you don’t feel as bleak as before. Some things are eelsy when you don’t flounder wondering what it’s halibut.
Sounds like something Putin would say.
Looks like the author really has a problem with the word “civilization”. Misspelled it twice two different ways.
The halibut you say!
But, but, but... I thought RUSSIA made Donal Trump our president. How can Putin be complaining with the direction President Trump is taking us? Something’s not adding up here. I’m starting to get a distinct feeling that the media is not being completely forthright on this matter.
“”US withdrawal from treaties on anti-ballistic missiles is an attempt to put an end to strategic parity, but we will respond to this.””
That doesn’t make sense. There is no such thing as strategic parity when both sides have enough nuclear weapons to wipe out the entire Earth several times over.
The Soviets, as they were then called, massed up against the German forces and began pushing them further and further westward. Aided of course with massive supplies from U.S.A. and Great Britain.
They wanted the U.S. and Britain to open a second front for years. Eventually we did. Those Germans got compressed on all sides. Eventually, they had to give up the game.
It was quite a period.
Einstein said it 60+ years ago...
