A Russian official is complaining that EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso breached confidentiality when he quoted President Vladimir Putin as saying Moscow could take over Kiev in two weeks if it wished.

Yuri Ushakov, a presidential aide, told reporters in Moscow on Tuesday that Putin’s statement was “quoted out of context and carried a completely different meaning.” Ushakov says it was unworthy of Barroso to speak publicly about a private conversation. …

Excuse me, Comrade Citizens, I misspoke myself just as brothers Stalin, Lenin, Trotsky, Marx and Engles, along with other “Heroes of the Soviet Union” did from 1840 to now.
The Union of Soviet Socialist Repub...oops, I mean, Rodina (Mother) Russia has no aggressive intent towards the Western, Capitalist...oops I mean, our allies in the West.

Ukraine always was and always will remain a part of the vast Soviet, oops, I mean Russian Empire!

A completely different meaning? Did Vlad's comment of a few days ago warning the world that nobody should mess with the nuclear armed USSR have a completely different meaning as well?? "Completely different meaning"....I seem to recall Kim Il Sung saying the same thing in May 1950 and Stalin,Bershnev,etc saying that as well.And then there was Hitler "all I want is the Sudetenland".
