The attack on President Putin by British Foreign Secretary Phillip Hammond and the laughter and jeering during the intervention by Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Sergei Lavrov underlines the notion that the West, in general terms, is governed by cliques of incompetent, insolent upstarts who in the private sector would be unemployable.
As for Philip Hammond calling President Vladimir Putin a "tyrant" then going on to speak about dictators, then there is one word in response: Resign! Whatever his personal views, which can interest nobody, the British Foreign Secretary is head of his country's diplomacy and gratuitous, unfounded quips like that underline the notion that he is worse even at his job than his predecessor William Hague.
President Putin's popularity rating is somewhere near three times that of British Prime Minister David Cameron's. So much for democracy, but then again Mr. Hammond represents one of the three prongs of the FUKUS Axis (France-UK-US), the clique that sided with terrorists on their own lists of proscribed groups to topple the Jamahiriya Government in Libya, sided with terrorists carrying out chemicals weapons attacks in Syria, to incriminate President Assad.
So much for Hammond. A vapid, lightweight wannabe, a nobody on the world stage, a pith-headed, clottish, ill-mannered, insolent upstart with zero substance, a squeaky, fussy little nonentity whose real vocation in life is to hide behind the skirts of an Anglican priest in the belfry of some moldy church basement somewhere in rural Wales. He finds himself in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Same thing.

He may have a valid point here...
He does indeed. But it goes double for the Russians.

The similarity between Russia and the West is that the government in general is crony-corrupt. The difference between Russia and the West is that there is no entrepreneurial class that produces sufficient wealth to support the crony-corrupt government: Russia's entrepreneurs go underground rather than innovative.
The guy writes like a drunk or retarded high school junior... but he does have a point about Kosovo.
And the Axis of FUKUS is clever.
How many has Putin employed in his public sector?
whatever else we might think of Pravda or this editorial,
“the West, in general terms, is governed by cliques of incompetent, insolent upstarts who in the private sector would be unemployable...”
makes a serious point. Alas!
When the point is made in the context of Russia looking to reclaim Kosovo, never mind Serbia, it’s in part moot.
Pity the serious point consists of throwing a stone in a glass house.
true enough.
pity.
(but that house is still glass...)
and with the islamonazi invasion of the west, the very least thing we needed was an alienated russia
Oops - from the title I was expecting to find a story about Hillary Clinton.
Oh well, never mind...
In round numbers? I would guess 0.
:)
Some would say the US alienation of Russia was intended to provide cover for the islamonazi invasion of the west.
It certainly helps keep the military focus off the Middle East.
that could be....
it helps keep the military ....AND headlines focus off the Middle East and Islamonazi expansion into the Western/Christian nations
“underlines the notion that the West, in general terms, is governed by cliques of incompetent, insolent upstarts who in the private sector would be unemployable”
Ok, this has to be objectively above 95% a fact. In the EU, UK, and the USA. Canada might be a slight exception,,, maybe.

A broken clock moment for the Russians, but dead-on.
I understand the spirit you said that in . . . but the author of this screed is one, what with the media over there being state media once again. Any “oligarchs” that run Putin’s nationalized companies are yet more. And how competent would Dmitry Medvedev be on his own?
Ouch, that's going to leave a mark.

So if we’re FUKUS, then they must be FUKU?
