I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Putin is Gog.
I can’t wait until Russia launches the Joseph Stalin.
I'm all in favor of it. Peter the Great is dead!!
Putin is too short to be Peter, but he does have something of an Adolph thing going for him.
Preventing the spread of the inhuman social system of Communism was worth American blood and treasure. Squashing Great Russian nationalism is not.
Just like the mortgage mess can’t be fixed without uprooting its causes (the sub-prime authorization in Clinton’s revamp of the CRA and the governmental quasi-guarantees backing Fannie and Freddie), the antagonism with Russia can’t be properly dealt with until its root cause—America’s wrong-headed Balkan policy—is reversed.
McCain’s slavophobia is the only misgiving I will have when I trek down to the local courthouse in a few weeks to cast a straight-ticket GOP ballot in early voting.
The ship “Peter the Great” was originally named after Yuri Andropov, Putin’s real inspiration and role model.
I think Putin should follow Catherine the Great and her Horse.
Peter the Great was guilty of many things but he was at least a man of vision who wanted to leave a stronger, more prosperous Russia behind him. Pooty is just a low gangster who doesn’t care that Russia is continuing to circle the toilet bowl so long as he and his cronies get their loot.
