"Putin's tirade to Bush that the US was flooding Russia with substandard chicken drumsticks and keeping the best ones for itself." But it is the old Russian practice: in his "Domostroi" manual on household management (written around 1550s) arch-priest Sylvester, confessor to Ivan the Terrible, recommended that the food which started spoiling was to be given as alms to the poor and the needy, for it would be good for the food owner's soul and good enough for the recipients. So what's wrong with it ????

You know bloody well that what this is is a build up of a case for a protectionist measure to defend Russian chicken farms on the domestic market. Would help if we did some of this ourselves, since the US is practically a net food importer at this point.

“This eto fore situation is much controversial; eto problem with new jobs; with new opportunity of young people; fore I can speak off is dim but not pessimistic. There is many work but few of young ones want to work. Russian youngster eto my country young ones me included know well what is going on; fore we have different approach of life. There has to be strong economic changes in our sphere of Eastern Europe. Stupidity of history and bad feelings cloud people understanding and opportunities that is in front of us. We Slavic people just can’t get in agreement of helping each other. Eto in uno pride and arrogance comes in way, Eastern Europe can be power eto fore ambitions and stupidity and hate blocks this. I can write so much you know well, eto fore we are where we have decided ino fore is nowhere. Absolute misunderstanding of facts and history, humanity will run its own way.”
