Mexican president wants Putin to give him military boots

MOSCOW, June 22 (RIA Novosti) - Mexican President Vicente Fox wants an early Christmas present from Russian President Vladimir Putin. He wants a pair of boots.

"When I arrived in Moscow the day before yesterday, I was met by the guards of honor who represented three branches of the armed forces. My eye caught the wonderful boots they were wearing," Vicente Fox said at a news conference here Wednesday.

He said he assumed the boots were typically worn by Russian Cossacks, the mobile Russian and Ukrainian military units famous for being the vanguards of exploration and conquest in all the borderlands of the Russian Empire.

At his Kremlin meeting with Putin afterwards, Fox asked Putin for a pair as a souvenir.

He said Putin promised to bring the boots to the upcoming G8 summit in Scotland in July.

"I am now asking him in public to remember his promise," Fox joked.

...from one of the Russian Federation's state owned/controlled news outlets. Will we see another Cuba to our south in a few years? And there is something notable in history about Stalin's boots, but I can't remember just what it was, offhand.

Nope. Would never come to that.

Throughout U.S. History we've never had a problem with invading Mexico militarily...and for while, actually, were in control of Mexico city.

Stalin wore cossack boots, but the Russian army boots I bought through a surplus catalog were hard as rocks. The East Germans made way better army boots.

How incredibly arrogant.

For a brief, exciting moment there, Texas, as I read your " gimme gimme gimme", I thought you wanted them yourself.

you got it perfectly right though. His wants it all and is a spoiled child.

And for getting it on the nose, you win this beautiful, shiny, sleek pair of boots yourself.

On the contrary... He is a very "giving person." He gives up millions of his people each year.

No, we won't see another Cuba to our south, there can only be one, because mapmakers would get really pi##ed off and erase Cuba off the map for being redundant.

As for Stalin's boots, they were lined with an absorbent material. Seems Stalin was a real chicken chit and would pi$$ himself, and the special material contained wicking and the soles of the boots were fitted with drains made of composite,and top secret material.

At least, that's what I read on the Interneck, which was invented by Al Gore, or so I've read on the Interneck.

Fiction is always more strange than fact.
