The Soviet Union is being rebuilt... and all the pundits missed it. It seems like the Soviet Union didn't die, it just went underground.

Who was financing Iraq? Who is financing these terrorist regimes? And remember, Russia and China are in a tight alliance...

Nah... we now have a bunch of capitalistic thugs in charge of Russia... that's a lot easier to deal with than a socialist ideological state.

Excellent post. I'm sure Putin's Putzes aren't going to like this defaming of their warm and fuzzy dictator.

Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya says that the FSB poisoned her on a flight from Moscow to Rostov, effectively keeping her from reaching Beslan. She was not alone in being hindered. Journalist Andrei Babitsky was detained at Vnukovo airport on “a specious pretext.

A couple of pro-chechen hysterical and bizarre loonies and if you believe their stories ( don't take my word for it, look them up) you'll believe anything. So the article is for you, in that case.

The Soviet Union will never be restored. But the Russian state is undergoing some recentralization of authority following the USSR's collapse in 1991. President Putin is not in a position to restore the old regime even if that was his personal desire. He does want to be a "little tsar" and that in keeping with Russian history.

"would it be outrageous to suggest that the tragic massacre was a provocation organized by the FSB/KGB?"

I thought this same thing when I heard about it. Then I heard a caller on Savage's show saying the same exact thing! I couldn't believe it.


"The Soviet Union is being rebuilt... and all the pundits missed it. It seems like the Soviet Union didn't die, it just went underground."
I've known this for a while. That is why I get pissed when I hear Hannity and other talk show hosts bleat "Reagan won the cold war". Please read The Perestroika Deception by Anatoliy Golitsyn

Putin has to do as much as Bush has done here, and Bush hasn't done enough either.

2 planes downed, subway bombs, and the school massacre.

Gee, why would Putin try and change things for more security?

Hopefully he'll let citizens have arms first. Pravda said he might, we'll see.

Those who have escaped the bondage of Communism in the former Soviet Union will never go back. Free market Capitalism has a good foothold in Russia and it's like a fever, everybody is catching it. So I doubt we will see a return to the Cold War. Russia wants to be the next China in their exports market

the restoration of the death penalty is being contemplated

Oh No!! Tell me this is not true!!! What will Texas say?

The horrors of humanity.

God knows those Beslan terrorists were just misunderstood. Let's not be too hard on them.

It would take a lot of blood to flow to restore the Soviet Union, however the ideology is not dead and time will tell just how far Putin will go.

This article is overloaded with BS.

First of all, the slanderous implication that Russia was responsible for Belsan. Who does this author think he is, Michael Moore? This is idiocy!

Secondly, the suggestion that Belsan is a "pretext" for colating power. Excuse me, it sounds like an awfully good reason, not a pretext? Why didn't the author mention that 1000 Russians were slaughtered in Daegestan by repeated invasions by the Islamic warlord Basayev, ignorance, or because it didn't fit his argument? Why no mention of the long list of terror incidents -- blown up apartment buildings in Moscow, hundreds taken hostage in the theater, two passenger planes being downed, crowded subway being blown up.. Sounds like a legitimate state of emergency to me? Why no mention of the legendary corruption of regional governors in Russia? Why no mention of the popularity of a very strong, centralized government in Russia?

No I don't think it is ignorance, I think it is pure intellectual dishonesty. The author of this piece is a dishonest, delusional fraud.

"Hopefully he'll let citizens have arms first. Pravda said he might, we'll see."

I seriously doubt that. One of the more recent articles out of Russia, and there have been many, speaks of his he wants to form his own style office of homeland security with absolute powers. When a 16 year veteran KGB agent who celebrates Stalin's birthday says that I don't think his plans includes an armed populace.
