You've got to give Putin a sort of a credit--he managed to completely destroy all the goodwill that came between US and Russia after September 11th. His perverted KGB obsession that US-Russian relationship is exclusively zero-sum game took over his ability to reason.

Remember the Monroe Doctrine? Perhaps it is time to remind the rest of the world about it.

Putin will do whatever he can to help keep the region destabilized. He has never been our friend and far as I, and many others I'm sure, are concerned the old Russia never died, they just took on newer clothing.

Putin's not interested in peace and world stability, he's only interested in whatever he can conquer and his country is still out to conquer the US.

I guess the Iranians have maxed out their credit card, so they're hitting up the regional wierdo.

Thanks comrade russia, always so predictable.

It's not a perverted obsession, it is his true nature. And the nature always trumps everything else. A man is known by the company he keeps, and there are similar sayings in every language on the planet. Birds of feather flock together.

Communism as an ideal is alive and well in Russia; it just goes by a different name now, with a slightly different face.

Monroe Doctrine time, folks.

I believe it may be time for Mr. James Monroe to make a statement.

"... US-Russian relationship is exclusively zero-sum game took over his ability to reason."

That's the root of the Russians' latest moves. They're still trying to play the "zero-sum game" but haven't figured out that you need two competing poles to play. They're not close to being on par with the sole remaining superpower and now they're relegated to making deals with bannana republics. The AKs don't bother me - they're more of a potential threat to Chavez than to us. Let the fool import some arms that will eventually be turned on him.
