Put the vodka bottle down Vlad.

US of putting its own interests before its democratic ideals...

and you gotta problem with that Rooty Pooty?........

[romanesq]

Well one can say the bear's out of the bag.

[mtbopfuyn]

Okey dokey. Didn't know anyone said it was over.

[Tarpon]

I wonder why so many are leaving Pooties paradise? Once a commie, always a commie.

[Edgerunner]

Pute is on the loose...guess GWB was wrong about Pute.

[Elpasser]

A hollow threat. Russia is passing away before our eyes. The demographic die has already been cast. As I recall, it will have just 80 million people in 50 years.

There was another article posted here where Putin was praising the US for remaining on an active footing and upgrading the military. Most Russian systems are beyond their design life and need a massive overhaul. With the nuttiness growing on their southern borders, can't blame them for wanting to upgrade.

I wonder if they'll build a wall to to keep their enemies out again.

Guess he wants a second chance at winning the cold war.

[lizol]

As I said on the other thread - all the Putinophiles here must be really desperate these days. :-)))

How many did Hitler's Germany have?

You have that right. Russia = much land and shrinking population, China = rising population and shrinking resources (land). Putin is living in fantasyland if he doesn’t realize that that Chinese on his door step are much more of a problem than the United States across thousands of miles of water are.

[sgtbono2002]

I believe before this is over we will find that Putin and Ahmendinejhad are blood brothers and one is as nutty as the other.

Once you have your mortal enemy down, you don't help him up! You kick him. You deliver the coup de grâce. Our mistake at the end of the Cold War. Our mistake at the end of Desert Storm. Our mistake at the end of WWI and WWII (though it's yet to be proven in the case of Japan). China's down, N. Korea's down, Russia's down, the muslim world is down, Mexico's Reconquistas are down. Are we going to let them up? Yes, it looks like we are.

The RWC is going to have a tough row to hoe here. This is going to take more spin than a clothes dryer convention.
