Vladimir Putin best for America and World. He is Godlike, amazing talent man can kill with Judo and gun. Knows 100s of language. Live forever for skill. Naomi Wolfe hate him. Putin carve tanks out of steel with teeth.

Путин может создать жизнь от пыли. Он может парить над народы с золотом и серебром и любви.

Don’t plan on it.

You’re correct that Putin is a strong and reasonably effective nationalistic leader for his country, especially when compared with milquetoast Obama who clearly hates his own country.

Putin is also an evil tyrant out to enrich himself in the mode of Stalin and Hitler who can be no more trusted than a scorpion.

Obama want to enrich himself and his buddies, but his is, first and foremost, a racist who hates white America and the West (particularly England and Israel), in general, and so would rather first harm the USA, England, and Israel than enrich himself. Obviously, he tries to do both.

Blowing up Russia: The Secret Plot to Bring Back KGB Terror
by Alexander Litvinenko, Yuri Felshtinsky, Geoffrey Andrews and Co (Translator)

Synopsis: Blowing Up Russia contains the allegations of ex-spy Alexander Litvinenko against his former spymasters in Moscow which led to his being murdered in London in November 2006. In the book he and historian Yuri Felshtinsky detail how since 1999 the Russian secret service has been hatching a plot to return to the terror that was the hallmark of the KGB. Vividly written and based on Litvinenko’s 20 years of insider knowledge of Russian spy campaigns, Blowing Up Russia describes how the successor of the KGB fabricated terrorist attacks and launched a war. Writing about Litvinenko, the surviving co-author recounts how the banning of the book in Russia led to three earlier deaths.

_____________________________

Alexander Litvinenko, the former Russian security agent fighting for his life in a UK hospital after allegedly being poisoned, has been a fierce critic of Vladimir Putin since before he became president in 2000.

Mr Litvinenko is thought to have been close to journalist Anna Politkovskaya, another opponent of the Kremlin who was shot dead last month, and said recently he was investigating her murder. It was after being handed documents apparently relating to the case that he was taken ill more than two weeks ago.

But he is perhaps best known for a book in which he alleges that agents co-ordinated the 1999 apartment block bombings in Russia that killed more than 300 people. He now appears to have fallen victim to the kind of plots which he wrote about.

__________________________

On 1 November 2006, Litvinenko suddenly fell ill and was hospitalised in what was established as a case of poisoning by radioactive polonium-210 which resulted in his death on 23 November. The events leading up to this are a matter of controversy, spawning numerous theories relating to his poisoning and death. A British murder investigation pointed to Andrey Lugovoy, a member of Russia’s Federal Protective Service, as the prime suspect. The United Kingdom requested the extradition of Lugovoy, but Russia refused, leading to the cooling of relations between Russia and the United Kingdom.”

Someone should attack the so called “press houses” here in the Soviet States of the Former USA. Perhaps CNN in Hotlanta, and the other A-B-C alphabet networks.

Yes, BBC calls it a publishing house, however it is, it is not clear exactly what this place was to me. There are still some good books published.

BBC article:

9 militants, 3 police and 4 others killed.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-30323751

Most other stories have more fatalities.

Long live Vladimir Putin...

Dang right! I especially love it when he takes his shirt off. Leonid Brezhnev, not so much.
