11. Russia is a Joke!

(Are you reading this Vladimer?) Not Russia, the great nation of beautiful cities and high culture, expressed in literature, dance and music, and science. But Russia, the corrupt oligarchy, that looks to its miserable past of backward tsarism and failed Communism, to somehow justify its nonproductive greed.

Russia the "power" is pathetic! They are bullying what was not all that long ago an accepted part of their empire, but which has been independent for 22 years, and will still be independent while Russia scrambles to pay for their new liability of Crimea.

Vladimer and his cronies need to pay a serious price for their thuggery. If the West can get their act together that will happen.

But no, this is not the time for a new Cold War, despite the nostalgia of the neocons. It's just not necessary!
