Russian leadership seems to have gone mad.

[Enterprise]

"Russian leadership seems to have gone mad."

Guess someone called him pooty poot once too often.

[GoDuke]

It’s tempting to think Russia is acting like a rabid dog. Paranoia on a national scale. Amazing.

[metesky]

When does the ballon go up?

[wideawake]

So country X supplying country Y with arms to put down an insurrection in country Y is an act of war against country Z?

Nazi Russia continues to rely on the Hitler playbook.

[edpc]

It already happened back in the early 80s. There were 99 of them. Luftballoons.

[HereInTheHeartland]

“Russian leadership seems to have gone mad.”

Maybe they just never changed in the 90’s.

[Mr. Mojo]

The Russians have been so over-the-top in their war rhetoric these last couple weeks that one can’t help but consider the possibility that it’s all designed to influence the U.S. election. .....in McCain’s favor, presumably.

[BenLurkin]

Hopefully not until I have relocated my family far from L.A. and to place with a nice big basement.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

.....in McCain’s favor, presumably.

That don't make any sense.

[Mr. Mojo]

If the U.S. electorte’s mind is focused on national security issues it heavily favors McCain, obviously. WHY the Russians would prefer McCain is anyone’s guess.

[allen08gop]

And just what is the current state of the Russian military — conventional arms in particular? Can’t be all that great.

Bring it on and make my day, Vlad?

Just a thought...

[Tax Government]

Russia is trying to prevent U.S. action in Iran, by creating another front.

[BGHater]

Nuclear Subs. They have a real Military.

[Mr. Mojo]

Of course. But that doesn't explain their crazed war rhetoric -- "U.S. ABMs in Poland will be met with military action."....."Military help for Georgia is a 'declaration of war'"....."we are not afraid of a new Cold War."...etc.

This type of rhetoric is unnecessary if the Russians' sole purpose was to open another front to prevent U.S. action in Iran.

[Eyes Unclouded]

Thats the spirit! Just don’t forget to duck and cover...

[T. Rustin Noone]

The old Commies were right. Politics is like fighting with bayonets. When you strike a soft spot, push forward. When you strike steel, pull back. Putin knows this all too well.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

Rove you magnificent bastard.

[Chad_the_Impaler]

Putin said the U.S. started it to help McCain:
