Medvedev may be a clown, but his ranting signifies something, especially since he resonates so loudly in Russia. He was the one who suggested that Russia had a claim to Alaska and a destiny to reclaim it. Hyperbole, yes, but again it means something we are bound to pay attention too, either now or later. I fear that the 21st Century is shaping up to make the last one look peaceful by comparison.

“If it be now, ’tis not to come. If it be not to come, it will be now. If it be not now, yet it will come—the readiness is all.”

Indeed, the readiness is all.

There were reports that Medvedev and family scrammed out of Moscow, when Yevgeny Prigozhin and his men were marching to the Kremlin. To incite insurrection against Bad Vlad and his motley crew.
