Caption photos of soldiers at Kremlin's Red Square.

Soldier in middle to soldier on left..."Stop that Ivan, plenty of time for that later when we get to Dimitri's house!" Soldier at end of line: "Damn "Don't Ask, Don't Tell!"
“We are finally getting fed again!”
“i found out today that putin is really a woman”
I hope we are not assigned to a submarine unless it is American.
My hat’s bigger than your hat.
“And then our new President appointed Putin as Russia’s Prime Minister. Really, can you believe it?”
OOh, just got a tingle up my leg!

"Pass it on.... Putin wears Victoria's Secret panties - Red ones!"
Guess which one had cabbage and beans for lunch.
OMG this classic Tomkow, monk dead get in here NOWWW
“Look - up in the sky - it’s Matthias Rust!”
Numbers 5 & 6 from the left are...clones?
“Vladimar, although an identical triplet, never did seem to fit in with his two brothers.” Is it just the uniform? But giggles sure looks like a spittin image of the two guys to his left! Who to me are almost carbon-copies!
I'd bet some had both, some had one and many had zilch.
What a joke and a sad recollection of the "old cold days".
Photoshopped to make the Red Army look bigger than it actually is?
I thought EXACTLY the same thing !
I spent too much time posting! It almost looks like those KGB guys were up to their photo-manipulation stuff and they messed up on this one.
“No you idiot, change the guy on HIS right! The goofball with the silly grin.”
“Anybody else got a crick in their neck?”
This photo, showing a smiling Vladimar Sirinikov, was found in an old box of original photos. The official photograph printed in the May Day program shows a stern-faced Vladimar. This is the last known photo of him.

LOL...winner!

2005: Russian leader/Prime minister Vladimir Putin on the collapse of the Soviet Union...
"World democratic opinion has yet to realize the alarming implications of President Vladimir Putin's State of the Union speech on April 25, 2005, in which he said that the collapse of the Soviet Union represented the 'greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.'

From the Sino-Russian Joint Statement of April 23, 1997:
"The two sides [China and Russia] shall, in the spirit of partnership, strive to promote the multipolarization of the world and the establishment of a new international order." http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Central_Asia/HI29Ag01.html
From "45 Communist Goals":
Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963:
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

Obama Pledges Cuts in Missile Defense, Space, and Nuclear Weapons Programs
February 29, 2008 :: News
MissileThreat.com
A video has surfaced of Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama talking on his plans for strategic issues such as nuclear weapons and missile defense.
The full text from the video, as released, reads as follows:
Thanks so much for the Caucus4Priorities, for the great work you've been doing. As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with Caucus4Priorities in fighting special interests in Washington.
First, I'll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it.[i.e. not win it]
Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.
I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.
I will not weaponize space.
I will slow our development of future combat systems.
And I will institute an independent "Defense Priorities Board" to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.
Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.
You know where I stand. I've fought for open, ethical and accountable government my entire public life. I don't switch positions or make promises that can't be kept. I don't posture on defense policy and I don't take money from federal lobbyists for powerful defense contractors. As president, my sole priority for defense spending will be protecting the American people. Thanks so much.

Russia, China flex muscles in joint war games
Reuters: Aug 17, 2007
CHEBARKUL, Russia (Reuters) - Russia and China staged their biggest joint exercises on Friday but denied this show of military prowess could lead to the formation of a counterweight to NATO.
"Today's exercises are another step towards strengthening the relations between our countries, a step towards strengthening international peace and security, and first and foremost, the security of our peoples," Putin said.
Fighter jets swooped overhead, commandos jumped from helicopters on to rooftops and the boom of artillery shells shook the firing range in Russia's Ural mountains as two of the largest armies in the world were put through their paces.
The exercises take place against a backdrop of mounting rivalry between the West, and Russia and China for influence over Central Asia, a strategic region that has huge oil, gas and mineral resources.
Russia's growing assertiveness is also causing jitters in the West. Putin announced at the firing range that Russia was resuming Soviet-era sorties by its strategic bomber aircraft near NATO airspace.

Obama Promises to Dismantle Our Armed Forces
by Robert Maginnis
Posted 04/10/2008 ET

(Mr. Maginnis is a retired Army lieutenant colonel, a national security and foreign affairs analyst for radio and television and a senior strategist with the U.S. Army)
YouTube has an undated 52-second clip of Democratic presidential candidate Senator Barrack Obama outlining his plans for Americas national defense. Obamas presentation demonstrates either total naivete about important national security programs or he is just pandering for votes among the extreme left.
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?print=yes&id=25942
Note: Although I sent Human Events the ORIGINAL youtube video several weeks ago (original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o84PE871BE ) and asked that they replace the copy they refer to (copy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl32Y7wDVDs ), they still have not yet done so. The original comes directly from the Obama camp itself and so is a lot more credible. In any case, Col Maginnis does an excellent in-depth must read analysis of Obama's proposed defense policies (see: http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?print=yes&id=25942).-Eye On The Left

"The USSR?!!! I thought we were done with that thingk!!!"

Tell you one thing about Russians they are good artists that only cool thing also creator of greatest booze

“Andz then Hannahs Montanas put on a bedsheets, and mushed her hair all the way up, and then lady took photograf, can you believe?”
On the other hand, I'm sometimes of like mind as my old man at the time - we should have just swung north after Germany fell and finished them off then. I think that would have been pretty tough, both politically and militarily.
“PRESENT Legs!” (Oh - I mean ARMS!)
Not guilty! None of them.
Alright you Russophiles out there, someone plz to be translating the below insanity for me. 0_o

"I can has cheezburger!"
Yes, I can’t be too hard on these WWII veterans although I don’t know to what end they served the USSR afterwards or if they had any regrets. The portrait of the man with a Stalin painting should be jarring.
There are a number of photos online here:

Now you’re talking comrade!!!
I take it those are Putins body guards reporting for duty.
Fourth soldier from left: “It was the beans, I tell you...”
She may be cute, but I would have raised my voice.

Airborne - Hello from the sky
Angled on the head ultramarine beret
Dark teeshirts and many epaulets
Forever from the sky the airborne is fated to be
Airborne - how many victories?
And from the parachutes white bouquets
Rainbow of the world answers to order
Glory to the airborne
Honor and Praise
