This guy is probably the only one, after Brezhnev, who wants US nuked by the old USSR.
Your link goes back to '75.
IT IS 2004 - WAKE UP!!!
"There's a hint by Moore of the second reason for Bush's proximity to Putin. Both of them are from the "Cold War" generation. They were brought up in this style, the traditional "a bash on the head and keep it in your hat" is nearer and dearer to them than tolerance. Certainly, this is the plague of that generation, which is lost without opposition. They have no culture of creation. And, after a decade of dancing with joy at the fall of the Berlin Wall, it's suddenly boring without an enemy. The most improvised material in this sense was the Islamic world. First - (changing) the face of its individual representatives. Later, the exclusion area began to be enlarged. They began to convert the Islamic world into the strategic enemy of the Christian world. But in reacton to this transformation, and in connection with the methods used in this fight, even those Moslems - who had nothing against non-Moslems and lived in the tradition of tolerance - became the supporters of fight against Bush and Putin."
Gee, she sounds kind of like...you, actually. Only she includes Bush.
There are grains of truth mixed with misdirected paranoia.
There is not much point trying to separate the fact from fiction.
And it is pretty much the same thing Dims have been saying about George W. Bush.

As long as the US can blow up the rest of the earth,
the threat from nation-states is obsolete.
Your response...none.
Even before Russia latest crisis, which Putin is using to rollback democracy in Russia, your so-called Christian Putin was giving missile technology to North Korean...to a sick, evil, twisted dictator. Putin's excuse? North Korean intends to use it for peaceful purposes.
Your response...none.
Before Putin's self made crisis he was giving nuclear technology to Iran, a nation that is currently making threats directly at America.
Your response...Micheal Moore, Serbia BS and a total avoidance of the actions of your so-called Christian Putin...arms merchant to dictators and evil islamic regimes.
Some Christian values Putin has...not.
Give me putin over any islamic.
The problem is Comrade Putin is arming the islamics and other fanatical regimes.
True, he's gotta stop the iran insanity.
Do you deny that anyone with any intelligence whatsoever would recognize the North Korean dictator as a twisted evil monster?
Do you deny that Putin gave nuclear reator technology and assistance to Iran, an unstable Islamic Extremist nation with a history of anger at the United States?
Do you deny that Putin illegally sold embargoed weapons to Iraq that are still be using to kill our troops?
And how do you square those actions with Christianity?
He would also do something about that psychotic despot in North Korea with advanced "peaceful space exploration" technology that he gave them.
It's too late for him to do anything to remove the weapons he illegally sold to Iraq.
I already replied to your posts. You should try rereading it, perhaps.
Exactly the answer I expected from you...none.

With the Russians, it's a case of the enemy of the enemy is my friend..
Same old crap.. They're out for themselves, we're out for us.
I think we can make a strong case of uniting against a common enemy, islamic terrorism.
Who cares about the rest for now.
I said what I wanted to say.
Knowing your enemies is seldom that easy. In comparison, the threat to our nation and the world from the old Soviet Union was greater then the threat from a stateless enemy.
Putin, long lamenting the collapse of his beloved Soviet Union, is now taking the steps to make himself supreme dictator of a new Soviet empire; aligned with Germany and France.
As long as he stays on that road to total control he is a danger that cannot be ignored.
Please bear in mind that at the same time Putin was selling arms for urgently needed cash, the Clinton administration was upgrading Chinese weaponry for urgently coveted cash. Violation of UN sanctions was currency gor Europe...Putin must have face enormous pressure to get with the program or risk his hold on the country. Thereis a large sentiment for the old CCCP, Putin must transition carefully, or risk the collapse of what nascent freedoms have sprouted there. Without support from the West, Putin's prospects are bleak. Russia, and the world, can do much worse.
Yes, nothing. You cannot reconcile the proven actions of Putin with what you claim is his Christian faith. Christians do not arm murderous dictators with missile technology. Christians do not supply rogue nations with nuclear technology. Christians do not illegally supply embargoed weapons to nations that they themselves agreed to place sanctions on.
