Hopefully the return of the Cold War will offset the effects of global warming.
This should put liberals right back to room temperature.

Mr. Putin is just trying to keep qualified people in place to run his government. In our country we get to elect a bunch of incompetent morons that can't even build a wall to prevent an invasion.
To: MadIvan
America and Europe want to see Russia in the category of healthy democracies, and yet opponents of democracy in Russia are seeking to reverse the progress of the past decade, he said. In many areas of civil society from religion and the news media to advocacy groups and political parties the Government has unfairly and improperly restricted the rights of the people.
While I completely agree with him on this, the same exact statement applies to China as well....only more so. Yet we kiss their ass at every turn.

The russophiles here on FR are having a fit, and bashing Cheney for telling the truth.
To: ozzymandus
I really don't give a rat's arse. The "rodina" crowd can take their russophilia and shove it up their anal orifices. Russia is preventing us from taking action in Iran, they tried to prevent us taking action in Iraq, they're no help with Belarus, they are trying to use Gazprom as an instrument of Russian foreign policy to intimidate Europe.
Sod them. Let's ditch the pretences and phony politesse. Cheney is right and it's time we told the Russians that this is not going to be tolerated.

Cheneys speech looks like a provocation and interference in Russias internal affairs in terms of its content, form and place.Right Mr. Gorbachev! You aren't as thick as the brick that rest of your vodka swilling commie-comrade traitors are!

I think Putin is feeling his imperial oats. Tsarist or communist, Russia has always been an imperial power with evil designs on her neighbors.
To: MadIvan
Putin has done a very stupid thing. He has made Dick Cheney mad. It is time of Dick to take Putin hunting and look into his eyes to if Putie has any soul left.

Cheney is my favourite person in the present Administration. I thought it was brilliant when he told Patrick Leahy to go "have intercourse" with himself. Presumably that's the only way Leahy could be sure he's engaging in carnal relations with someone he truly cares about.

Mr. Putin is just trying to keep qualified people in place to run his government. Putin's a dyed-in-the-wool commie. Always has and always will. He's just waiting for a weakness in America before he and his new friends in China pounce on it.

"Putin's a dyed-in-the-wool commie."
With a makeover and image team...a modern commie. Joseph Stalin V2.0.
To: CWOJackson
Sorta like Vincente Fox in Mexico. Promise reform and free markets, and then continue with the status quo.
Russia is NOT a friend of the U.S., although their women I wouldn't mind befriending.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
I think there are new laws regarding that.
To: CWOJackson
Seriously, Russian women are incredible. Most of them have nuclear engineering or physics degrees in their 20s.
To: MadIvan
Haven't we been sending Russia Billions to dismantle their nukes?
Are they ever going to pay back the US the 30-50 Billion we have given them in the last 10-14 years?

The only ones I meet were on their fishing boats...they were incredible but not in the way you mean.
Seriously though, I think I read somewhere that the government has put some sort of extra hoops into Russian mail order brides. I can't remember exactly what it was though.

Mikhail Gorbachev, the former leader of the Soviet Union, said: Cheneys speech looks like a provocation and interference in Russias internal affairs in terms of its content, form and place.And the "Pot Kettle Black" Award goes to...

Gorbachev was possibly the most stupid leader the USSR ever had. I've read his memoirs: two bits of evidence of his stupidity - first, he had worked within the Soviet system for years, yet when he took office, he thought it was still flexible enough to adapt to changing circumstances, when any one with half a brain could see the country was being strangled to death by it. Second, he tried to make Russia go dry. This had the predictable consequence of creating a huge market for moonshine and subsequent deaths from said homemade liquor.
