Words of wisdom from Z'biggy.

[Canuck1]

Ah, the Russophobes, led by Zbiggy, are finally beginning to break their post 9/11 silence. These people hate the Russians so much that they want to kick them even when they're down. They refuse to accept that the weakened, boozy, ageing bear is no danger to anyone but himself--but yet may be an eminently useful (and eventually dispensable) ally in the showdown with Al Qaeda, et al.

whom it has thoroughly antagonized by its wars against the Afghans and the Chechens

I wasn't aware there were 300 million Afghans and Chechens and that all of them were antagonized. LOL!

The last I checked, "independent" Chechnya is supported mainly by the Saudis and the Taliban, the same people who were largely involved in terrorism on the US. And that Russia was quite friendly with Iran, Iraq and several other muslim countries.

Considering that muslims have much more opportunities to commit acts of terrorism in Russia, given its proximity, you'd expect to see 9/11's all over Russia, if one is to believe Brzezinsky.

[madrussian]

Also, just as Russia has no choice but to join the West (which it tried to do several times), the West has no choice but to approach Russia if they want to prevent China capitalizing on Siberia's resources and Russia joining alternative alliances.

It's a two-way street.

This man is sick and needs to be put out of his misery.
