Will be interesting to see what the World does in the future when we go on another of our military adventures (If China were the leading superpower).

When Ivan gets riled up he doesn't care where he lets fly.

Stupid brutal Russians. Brute force always works as far as the Russkies are concerned. And vodka.

Putin is fast approaching 70 and has actually lived two years beyond his expiry date of 68.2

Putin can’t wait. It’s now or never

[Berosus]

Why is it now spelled “Rouble” instead of “Ruble?” Has the language in Russia changed?

I did a job in the southern Urals. I was stupefied at how many were perpetually drunk. They must make vodka by the tanker load and ship it the same way.

Hey, I’m still trying to get used to “Mumbai” and “Beijing”. ;^)

Years ago I read the story of Viktor Blenko, the Russian pilot who defected to the West with a MiG 25 Foxbat.

The story he gave of his childhood growing up in Russia, the corruption at every level of society, the hopelessness and despair of living in a Communist system and the pervasive and endemic alcoholism was astounding.

Sometimes never isn’t such a bad thing.

NO THANKS; A man’s got to know his limitations.

At my age I find I no longer have any patience for fools; to many fools currently living in this GREAT COUNTRY.

Folks would get really upset when I started having them all hanged or shot.

To my way of thinking that’s the only way to deal with LOWLIFE ANTI-AMERICAN FOOLS!

[gunsequalfreedom]

That’s what I think every time I contemplate what it would be like to be in that position. I’m certain Presidents find that prior arrangements (messes) limit future options.

You still have my vote.
