[Siegfried X]

This article talks about Putin's use of propaganda "to rebuild post-Soviet Russia through aggression". This is a long term plan which has been in progress for over a decade in the Ukraine.

[Bobalu]

Putin ain’t alone in this, nearly every story on the US MSM is filled with government propaganda.

[tcrlaf]

Two decades of incredibly corrupt government, and a nation all but controlled by the most violent criminal mafias in Europe, is likely far more responsible for the loss of “identity” than Putin, I think.

Tough to be nationalistic when there isn’t much to be proud of. Just look at the state of Ukraine’s military.

[PieterCasparzen]

Putin has a lot of accomplices who are financing this.

They all do business inside Russia - the evil empire !

Call them up and tell them to pull out of Russia.

North Korea Tests 'Super-EMP' Nuke
Newsmax ^ | Thursday, 16 Jun 2011 09:05 AM | Ken Timmerman
"North Korea’s nuclear tests have been dismissed as failures by some analysts because of their low explosive yield. But Dr. Pry believes they bore the “signature” of the Russian-designed “super-EMP” weapon, capable of emitting more gamma radiation than a 25-megaton nuclear weapon. "
