No wonder George Bush likes Vlad: Two peas in a pod.

... and isn't it odd how the American press, and the American right wing, have had absolutely nothing at all to say about Russia's continued development of WMD, ballistic delivery systems, etc. while making lots of noise about N.Korea and Iran...
It was only 20 years ago that the Russians were the 'mortal enemy' and Mr. Putin an active member of the KGB.

Extreme communism, extreme capitalism - tis all part of a great big circle and it doesn't take long for one to metamorphose into the other....

And that's about as politically profound as I get of a Thursday evening!

Also this was just on the news in here; Putin doesn´t want Finland to join NATO! It might anyway be better for us to not join the NATO (because we already have EU and all it implies, if u think just in military terms.), but why doesn´t he want us joining NATO and is voicing it out loud? It was just some tens of years ago when Russians tried to get one drunkard (easy to manipulate!(at least supposed to.)) elected as president of finland.
