Threat? I don't threat. I stand my ground.
Pssst, kid...there's no "ground", this is the Internet, so you can go ahead and drop the Scarlet Pimpernel act.
Putin's KGB is reshaping Russia into something similar to the Soviet Union of old, taking power, and organizing its armies; the Kremlin is reverting to old form right in front of everyone's eyes.
And there's no way that's a good turn of events for the U.S.
Totalitarianism back in Russia doesn't give us an ally in the war on terror, it adds an enemy.
