If only The Great Ronald Reagan was still with us to take Gorby aside and explain the facts of modern life...

[dfwgator]

the United States with what he called a "superiority complex".

That's only because we really are better than everybody else.

[darkangel82]

Shut up Gorbachev, you're still a Commie.

Mister Bozo. Tear down that wall!

"Russia, with its enormous intellectual and military potential, and control of 42 per cent of the world's natural reserves, elicits fear in the West, and even our friends today fear a renaissance of the Russian empire," he said.

That may be difficult to pull off. I understand Russia's population is decreasing and their lifespans shortening.

As Margaret Thatcher told you Gorby, the Soviet Union had lumber, oil, coal, diamonds, gold, minerals, and a vast labor force - and you guys ran the country into the ground, violently oppressed your own citizens, and produced an economy that was the envy of Bangladesh.

Go preach to yourself.

[Indy Pendance]

What, Russia's been around for centuries, and poor little America, only 230 years makes this former maphead squeel? LOL... Remember the gorby imposter? Who's who?

[pikachu]

He also denounced growing Russophobia, saying "some in the West would like to see Russia strangled".

Giving reactors to Iran, UN oil for food fraud, screwing up oil markets, keeping Iran from getting sactions from the Security Council ... Maybe spanked instead if strangled.

Mr Gorbachev, who launched the democratic and economic reforms that ultimately led to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991

Are f****n kidding me? He was trying to save the Soviet Union!

From CIA world factbook

GDP (official rate)

Russia 740.7 Billion with a B
US 12,770 Billion with a B

2005 Estimate

Gorby, talk to the hand!

"some in the West would like to see Russia strangled"

No, nobody want to stangle Russia, just all the commies for the tens of millions they helped murder. And this is not murder; it's justice I'm talking about.

[MikefromOhio]

the US chides Gorby for being a loser with puddin' on his head :)

He sounds like certain Freepers.

[weegee]

Would the Commie care to point out which country is better overall?

[hgro]

Anyone who has ever had to opportunity to actually see Russia personally will know that Gorby is full of it. The Russion country side and villages are pathetic. Living conditions in the former commie paradise big cities by any standard are the same. The evidence in just one area is the rampant alcoholism of people trying to retreat from their miserable lives.

[mkjessup]

Pay no attention to Gorby, he is obligated to occasionally spout off with some anti-U.S. rhetoric, so nobody begins to believe the rumors that he was in fact, the most well placed and well paid CIA mole to ever burrow into the Kremlin, all the way to the top.

NICE JOB GORBY! :)

PS- You ARE getting direct deposit now, aren't you? So much easier than having to sign and deposit those checks each month, know what I mean? ;)

[razoroccam]

Tragic thing is that if Russia had been free, open, and democratic, companies such as Sikorski (helicopters) and MGM would have been in Russia, and not the US.

It is amazing, being an immigrant myself, that other countries do not recognize this simple fact - it is freedom (economic, political, religious), and if a country denies it to its citizens, it will never amount to much in the long term.

[Cyclopean Squid]

From one of history's most inept leaders (second only to Mao, in my opinion).

[newnhdad]

Gorbawho? I didn't know he was still alive. Last time I saw this bozo he was licking Ronald Reagan's shoes.

[mountn man]

Russia (USSR) attacks Afghanistan for what, 14 years? And retreat leaving destruction and mamed children.

The US attacks Afghanistan (the Taliban) and removes government from power in what 2 months? And while we are still there, we are building schools and hospitals, and utility infrastructures. Pushing Afghanistan into the modern world (or at least into the later 19th century).

Superiority? No air of superiority here. Its all fact.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

The Soviets had a neurotic inferiority complex for 70 years.........well deserved.
