Russia can't really be this dumb , can they? A year or so ago this may have just seemed like an idle threat, however, lately Tsar Putin's regime has been getting bolder in their words and actions.

Welcome back Cold War, so nice to see you again.

This is mostly a non-issue. Russia is pretending to take a military action, Washington is pretending to be concerned.

The reality is that Russia is a HUGE oil exporter, and they like the current adminstration because Russia is making oil money hand over fist. If McCain is elected, we will continue to use the American military to inflate the price of oil, aided in the charade by Russia and Iran. If Obama is elected, Iraq's oil fields will be exploited, America will invest to reduce American oil use, and there will be no military action in Iran. All of these things are very bad for Russia, because en todo they will depress the price of oil, and Putin will lose a LOT of money.

However, so far, the Russian actions in Georgia are being quite successful at helping McCain in the polls. After a few weeks, when they evaluate these effects, expect them to ramp up. Nothing could be better for McCain's election chances than the looming threat of a re-emerging Russian superpower.

Its laughable how all the talking heads on the right...McSame, Bush, Cheney, Condi, and all their fans have the audacity to talk about how a nation like Russia can't invade a sovereign nation and overthrow a regime...simply unreal.
McCain is nuts.

When you thought it couldn;t get any more currupt than Clinton, there was Bush.
