They just said on Fox that Putin has determined Russia has to return to being a major player on the world stage and in doing so has determined it's better to be a "bad body" because the USA and Britain capitualte to the bad leaders of the world... That the Russian economy is being reordered in a way that doesn't even allow it to participate in the WGO... sounds like Putty is returning us to the days of the Cold War (or worse).
I heard that....the old "bad attention, is better than no attention at all" creed that Kim Jong-Il and Ahmanutjob live by.
Well...hopefully, President Bush will start dealing with Putin the way he deals with those two...he DOESN'T.
We should not reward bad behaviour.
