No news if Obama bowed upon hearing the news.

Everyone’s known this for 60 years.

Also that there wouldn’t be much left of Mother Russia either.

Odd to be bringing it up as if it were news.

Kinda makes me wonder if the missing 777 is being painted to look like a US military jet or to broadcast signals like one just so the ROP can load a nuke on it and then detonate it in Russian Federation airspace to convince the Russians the US has just nuked them, all a follow up with the rhetoric about US threats yad yada yada.

Iran laughs its ass off while Russia then retaliates against US assets.

"Americans themselves consider Putin to be a stronger leader than Obama," he added.

Why yes, we do actually. Spaceba to you.

In other news, Russia announced it has downed an American drone:

Called The Lurch. Heh

"Americans themselves consider Putin to be a stronger leader than Obama," he added.

By a factor of 1000.

Everything I read makes me wonder if that jet is behind it.

I keep checking the chechen terrorist sites too, but nothing so far...

Yet another post that brought me to tears laughing. Thanks!

Love the journalist with the vodka bottle. Nice touch!

I cannot stop laughing! Ivan Tashotski. This is great.

Now they’re sounding like the old Soviet Union

Too bad Kerry is jokingly called Lurch, because there really is no comparison. The character Lurch was physically imposing, amazingly strong, morally good, and quite proficient at his work—none of which seems like Kerry.

Then they are predictable, for the most part.

Its the ones that go silent that are dangerous.

Who has the most silence lately?

It’s just a TV personality.

He allegedly uses the show as a soapbox to promote the Kremlin's policies and denigrate the West[2] and is controversial for "maligning homosexuality and speculating about Western-led conspiracies" on the programme as well as using it to attack the political opposition to Putin.[3] In one televised commentary, he said "[Gays] should be prohibited from donating blood, sperm,... And their hearts, in case they die in a car accident, should be buried or burned as unfit for extending anyone's life,"[2] suggesting that the internal organs of homosexuals should be burned and buried rather than be accepted for organ transplants.[3] In Sweden, he became controversial in December 2013 when he criticized the moral values of that country in response to the 2013 Ukrainian protests, for which he partly blamed the Swedish political leadership and Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt[4] as well as the government of Poland, accusing Poland and Sweden of fomenting the protests to avenge defeats in centuries-old Polish-Russian and Russo-Swedish Wars.[3] The Moscow Times has considered him as ″the Kremlin's New Chief Propagandist″ .[

this is so much better!!!

"In response to a CNN article detailing the uglier national monuments around the world — which included a Russian monument to World War II, Kiselyov hit America hard. He said that the Iwo Jima Memorial in Arlington, Virginia, a famous Marine Corps war memorial, was a tribute to gay sex."

[MarMema]

Apparently so.
