what about my bodily fluids are they safe

[Turret Gunner A20]

What a bunch of paranoid simpletons.

[Cyropaedia]

"Precious bodily fluids...?".

[steveyp]

This for China?

Given the population of Russia and the vast reserves of land and resources, and the huge 2000 mile plus border...

Putin is crazy with megalomania — his newly acquired power from rigged elections is gone to his head. To make matters worse, Putin has $$$$$$ Billions and real POWER to burn. Bush never should have trusted this Russkie KGB POS. ‘Nuff said.

[prairiebreeze]

Russia is embroiled in persistent disputes over US plans for missile defence facilities in former Soviet satellite states that have joined Nato.

Here's the crux, I would wager.

Putin is goose stepping Russia straight back to the Iron Curtain.

[prairiebreeze]

It isn’t Bush’s fault that Putin refused to rise to the place in history that he could have

Initiailly, it was appropriate for Bush to publically give Putin the benefit of the doubt to see if he’d turn into being a real leader instead of another pinko commie power-dictator. After Putin started showing his true colors, that benefit of doubt existed no more and the two of them were not close or trusting.

It's just politics. Putin derangement syndrome is just as silly as Bush DS.

Putin's goal is to reestablish Russia as a regional, if not superpower. The whole "mad-man" defense thing has been done before. It just shows Putin is a student of history.

That's certainly against our interests, but it's a mistake to think that Putin isn't a rational actor. It's an act.

[kingu]

Nope, it’s for the Europeans and Americans who are playing games in Serbia, and notice to butt out of Chechnya.

The inclusion of ‘her allies’ was aimed towards us, not China, unless Russia just picked up a good stake in Taiwan.

[kittymyrib]

Rattle that saber, Putin, and imagine that you matter. The Chinese know that Russia is on the way to being extinct, and they have plenty of people who will move in on your territory. You are marked for the “ash heap of history,” in the prescient words of Ronald Reagan.

Well written... with a clear-headed understanding of history.

[america4vr]

Well, that’s one of the most incredibly dumbest things I’ve ever heard. What constitutes them being threatened? They damn sure know that any nuclear detonation is going to result in a response in kind.

Everyone knew Putin's background - head of the KGB, i.e, head of an outfit that routinely tortured people - well, it takes a certain kind of person to be able to do that for a living. And then the other stuff, associating with gangsters, etc.

Knowing all that, was there ever ANY evidence to suggest that he would be a benevolent leader?

[Moonman62]

How delusional for them to think that anyone would want their stupid country.

[Netizen]

Nope, it’s for the Europeans and Americans who are playing games in Serbia, and notice to butt out of Chechnya. The inclusion of ‘her allies’ was aimed towards us, not China, unless Russia just picked up a good stake in Taiwan.

Doesn't our government disagree with Putin on Chechnya?

Moscow Resumes Military Parades in Red Square May 9

[kindred]

[The remarks do not represent a change in policy for Moscow.]

Russia is a whorehouse of those who hate the God of Israel and His Christ and have become the bullies of the world. They will start a war someday.

[Bommer]

Gee, and they can’t understand why Europe is interested in a missle defense shield!

[truemiester]

Thank GOd I did not fill in the bomb shelter. All I have to do is take out the stuff I put in storage 20 years ago, clean out the leaves and, perhaps, replace the canned food.
